PM Modi began by addressing criticism from opposition parties and the media. He pointed out the inconsistency of those who once demanded the imprisonment of political figures like Sonia Gandhi but now support them.
Modi emphasized the media's role in shaping public opinion and called for a focus on genuine public sentiment rather than biased narratives.
### Promoting Local Production
A major theme of Modi's tenure has been the promotion of local products under the "Make in India" initiative.
He contrasted this with global practices, noting that while Americans proudly support "Buy American," Indians should also support "Make in India." Modi criticized the practice of exporting raw materials like wheat only to import finished products like bread, advocating instead for domestic production to create jobs and retain wealth within India.

### Diversifying India’s Image
The Prime Minister discussed the "One District One Product" initiative, which promotes the diverse strengths of various Indian districts. Modi noted the importance of showcasing these unique products globally, so the world recognizes that India is much more than just Delhi or the Taj Mahal.
### G20 Summit Success
Modi celebrated the success of the G20 summit held in India, where numerous policymakers visited different parts of the country. This exposure helped them see India’s potential firsthand, contributing to a positive shift in global perception.
### Encouraging Indian Cinema and Gaming
Modi acknowledged the global success of Indian cinema, including Telugu and Tamil films, and stressed the need to capture the global gaming market. He invited gaming experts to discuss how to make India a leader in this booming industry.
### Digital India Movement
