Leading UK industrialist Lord Swraj Paul praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his initiatives to connect expats across the world. He said the BJP government at the Centre is moving in the right direction and doing everything to uplift the poor.
"PM is moving in the right direction. He has raised the profile of India and Indians all over the world. From an NRI's point of view, he is the first PM after 35 years who has recognised the strength and ability of NRIs. For that, NRIs are proud of Modi," Lord Paul said.
"He has lots of ideas, dynamism and desire to take this country ahead. We wish him luck," he added. "I believe that this government does more for the poor than the rich. After a long time, people at least heard that something should be done for the poor. I think Modi is talking about the poor and paying due attention to their problems," Lord Paul said.
"It is a general tendency to measure the performance of government after one month or one year. Let me tell you that no miracle happens in one year. But, there is buzz all around that something positive is happening, which is a good sign," said Lord Paul.
Lord Paul has also offered support to boost the education sector in Gujarat. Paul, the Chairman of UK-based Caparo Group, visited his company's manufacturing facility at Sanand after his meeting Gujarat Chief Minister Anandiben Patel.
