He said that the centre, states and UTs should work as a team India and fulfill the dreams and aspirations of people for a Viksit Bharat.
“India grows when the states grow…Raise your quality to the level of developed nations. Work with NITI Aayog so that the country can take a quantum leap towards achieving its vision for the Amrit Kaal,” he added.
