"First Be Vocal For Local, Then Go Global": PM Sends A Message On Birthday

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also appealed to the citizens to buy local products during the upcoming festive season.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday tweaked his 'vocal for local' slogan to add a 'global' angle that aims to take local products to international markets.

Speaking at the inauguration of YashoBhoomi - a world class convention centre in Delhi - on his birthday, the Prime Minister also appealed to the citizens to buy local products during the upcoming festive season.

"Shouldn't locally-made products reach the global markets? For this, you first have to be vocal for local, and then turn local into global. Ganesh Chaturthi, Dhanteras, Deepavali, and a lot other festivals are going to come. I urge all citizens to buy local (products during this time)," he said.
