India will become like US in your lifetime: PM Narendra Modi to diaspora
NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured the Indian diaspora in the United States that India would come to resemble the US within their lifetime and referred to his government’s resolve of providing corruption-free governance to make this possible.

“Your heart always asks when our country would become like this (the US)... I assure you that this will happen in your lifetime,” Modi told about 700 people of Indian origin at an interaction in Washington on Sunday, a day ahead of his meeting with US President Donald Trump.

Crediting the US for the success of the Indian diaspora in the US, he said, “You are the same people but your success story has a simple reason; it’s because you have got supportive environment here.”
