New Delhi, Nov 16 (NationPress) Veteran American investor and financial commentator Jim Rogers has stated that the central government, led by Narendra Modi, is on a solid path of development aimed at empowering its citizens. He emphasized that this government recognizes the value of prosperity and success, a sentiment that previous administrations merely paid lip service to.
In a conversation with IANS, Rogers expressed his admiration for India as a nation while noting his discontent with past governments prior to 2014. However, he now acknowledges the tangible progress under the current administration.
“I have always admired India as a nation, but never the governing bodies,” Rogers remarked, adding, “For the first time in my investment career, the Indian government seems genuinely committed to the idea that prosperity is beneficial and that they desire their citizens to thrive. Earlier, such claims were made but lacked sincerity.”
He further noted that this newfound approach is promising for India's future.
Regarding the potential trade agreement between India and the US, Rogers expressed enthusiasm, highlighting that the government now appreciates the significance of prosperity.
“I support India in forging agreements with various countries, be it the US or others. The future looks exceedingly bright for the nation,” he stated.
Rogers also condemned the recent car explosion in Delhi, asserting that those responsible for the attack, which occurred near the Red Fort Metro Station, will not succeed as the country is rapidly advancing and poised for exciting developments ahead.
Speaking to IANS, the 83-year-old Singapore-based investor denounced the atrocious act, affirming that India will persist on its remarkable growth trajectory, undeterred by such cowardly terrorist actions.
