I'm ready and confident, just want to see India as global player: PM Modi on his plan ahead

"I admit that last time I had to learn a lot. We all evolved with time. I spent a lot of time learning, I was cautious but today is not the same situation. Today I am ready and confident," PM Modi said.

The prime minister said that he wants the government to be always prepared for a state of continuity and that is why "I never take leaves not let anyone take one. I tell them the agenda for the future way ahead" he said.

Talking about terrorism and the recently conducted IAF strikes on JeM camp in Pakistan's Balakot, the prime minister said that "we must hit where terrorists are being fed and bred".

Taking a dig at the opposition and the various names he has been called by, PM Modi said he has a list of what all he has been called as by various leaders.

"It exhibits their mentality. Those who want to serve the nation are empathetic, we don't want any pedestal or any seat. I get pained as well but I have responsibilities to fulfil and that is why I gulp down that pain and have been doing so since past 20 years," the PM said.

PM Modi also said that his second term is going to be different as he now has an experience of five years.

"I just want to maintain the speed and see the country as a global player," he said.
