Mumbai's development slowed down a bit for a while but after CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis came to power, the momentum has increased, he said.

Modi said there was a time when funds for welfare of the poor were misused. There was a time when we spoke only about poverty and sought funds from other countries, he said.

For the first time since Independence, the New India has big dreams and the courage to realise them, instead of the earlier scenario of discussing poverty and seeking help from foreigners, Modi said.
