‘India to lead world by 2047’\

Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Thursday expressed confidence that India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, will emerge as the world’s leading nation by 2047. Speaking at the ‘Limitless India’ plenary summit organised by a news channel in New Delhi, he asserted that Indians would attain the top position globally in various sectors.
“Indians now reside in the most affluent localities worldwide, much like the Jewish community in earlier times. In the United States, the average per capita income of Indians is double that of any other nationality,” Naidu remarked.
Hailing Modi as the “right leader for the right country,” he said India is fortunate to have him at the helm. When asked about his key focus areas, Naidu listed Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a priority over traditional Information Technology (IT), followed by green energy and skill development. He stressed that strengthening these sectors would ensure India’s global supremacy.
He also highlighted the importance of population management, pointing out that while countries like China, Japan, and those in Europe face declining populations, India has a demographic advantage. “By 2047, 65% of India’s population will be under 35 years of age, a strength no other country possesses,” he noted.
Referring to South India’s early implementation of population control measures, Naidu suggested corrective steps to balance growth. “I have already announced my keen interest in promoting population growth,” he stated, adding that his government is offering more welfare schemes to families with more children. He even congratulated the people of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh for maintaining higher birth rates.
Naidu also reiterated his commitment to rebuilding Amaravati as the state capital, lamenting that it was “completely neglected” by the previous government. “Amaravati is a visionary project that benefits everyone, and now the entire state stands with me in supporting its revival,” he said.
Reflecting on the recent elections, Naidu noted that the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) achieved a 93% strike rate, a historic feat driven by public dissatisfaction with the previous administration. He emphasised that the primary responsibility of politicians is to create wealth and generate revenue before implementing welfare measures.
“When I was arrested, people in 60 countries protested for 53 days in solidarity. That shows the impact of my vision,” he concluded.
