Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said PM Modi's popularity has transcended national boundaries and he has emerged as one of the most popular world leaders.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Thursday described the eight years of Narendra Modi's Prime Ministership as a period of big achievements for India during which it emerged as a strong country and its prestige grew globally.
Addressing a press conference in Haldwani, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said PM Modi's popularity has transcended national boundaries and he has emerged as one of the most popular world leaders.
He attributed PM Modi's growing popularity all over the world partly to the manner in which he handled the COVID-19 crisis and the aggressiveness with which he dealt with the cross-border terrorism.
"Under his leadership, India did not just develop two anti-COVID vaccines of its own but also administered them for free to the entire eligible population and to many countries that were in need of them," Mr Dhami said.
