The economy will be worth USD 5 trillion. All this did not happen… …but every Indian knows that BJP’s lies are the strongest!” Kharge wrote on X.

Construction of 70 thousand Amrit Sarovars is also our collective achievement,” PM Modi said in the 108th edition of his monthly radio programme.
“In 2015 we were ranked 81st in the Global Innovation Index – today our rank is 40th. This year, the number of patents filed in India was high, of which about 60 percent were from domestic funds.
