Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday laid the foundation stone for several developmental projects in Gujarat. After the inauguration, the prime minister addressed a rally in Bhavnagar and reiterated the need for self-reliance.

“Today, India is moving forward with the spirit of ‘Vishwabandhu’. We have no major enemy in the world. Our biggest enemy is our dependence on other countries. This is our biggest enemy, and together we must defeat this enemy of India, the enemy of dependence,” he said.

“The greater the foreign dependence, the greater the country’s failure. For global peace, stability, and prosperity, the country with the world’s largest population must become Atmanirbhar. If we remain dependent on others, our self-respect will be hurt. We cannot leave the future of 1.4 billion countrymen to others,” added the Prime Minister.
