Hyderabad, Oct. 17 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the 21st century belongs to 1.4 billion Indians and that the country will become "Viksit Bharat" (Developed India) by 2047 even as he attacked the Congress and hailed the recent goods and services (GST) reforms. Addressing a massive public rally titled "Super GST - Super Saving Utsav" at Nannur on the outskirts of Andhra Pradesh's Kurnool town, where he launched and dedicated a series of infrastructure, industrial, and energy projects worth Rs.13,429 crore across the state, Modi said in the last 16 months, Andhra Pradesh achieved growth at a rapid pace. He said a double-engine government of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was marching ahead on the path of progress. "As chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu said, looking at this rapid pace, I can say that in 2047, when it will be 100 years of independence, India will be fully developed," he said. The PM said the vision of Swarnandhra (Golden Andhra) was inspiring the vision of Viksit Bharat, and added that the world was watching the speed and scope of India and Andhra Pradesh. "Two days ago, Google announced a major investment in Andhra Pradesh. Google is going to build India's first artificial intelligence hub here in Andhra Pradesh. Yesterday, when I was talking to the CEO of Google, he told me that we have investments in many countries around the world, but we are going to make the largest investment in Andhra Pradesh," he said. "This new AI Hub includes powerful AI infrastructure, data centre capacity, large-scale energy sources, and an expanded fibre-optic network. A new international subsea gateway will be created. This will include several international subsea cables, which will reach Visakhapatnam on India's eastern coast. This project will establish Visakhapatnam as an AI and connectivity hub. It will serve not only India but the entire world. I extend special congratulations to the people of Andhra Pradesh for this and highly commend Chandrababu Naidu for his vision," he added. Stating that his government was providing a "citizen-centric" development, the PM said the new GST regime helped people by making medicines, treatment and other consumables cheaper. "In Andhra Pradesh alone, it would result in savings of Rs.8,000 crore per annum," he said. Modi called upon the people to celebrate this GST "savings campaign" with the slogan of "vocal for local" - encouraging purchase of only indigenously-made goods. The Prime Minister described the state as a "key engine" of India's economic revolution and praised Naidu and deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan for their "visionary leadership driving rapid development" with strong support from the central government. Modi said a series of new projects - covering power transmission, railways, national highways, and industrial corridors, for which he had laid foundation and dedicated to the nation would "strengthen connectivity and drive industrial growth" in southern Andhra Pradesh. "These projects will particularly benefit Kurnool and surrounding districts," he said, adding that energy security was crucial for both the nation and the state. He said the power transmission projects worth Rs.3,000 crore were aimed at boosting national power capacity, and noted that India's per capita electricity consumption had risen from under 1,000 units during the Congress era to 1,400 units today. "From clean energy to modern manufacturing, India is achieving record production levels," he said, dedicating the Srikakulam-Angul natural gas pipeline to the nation....
