NEW DELHI: Calling for an energy revolution in the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday said India had the strength and resources to lead the world's fight against global warming.

"If there is one country to show the world the way to combat global  warming it is India," Modi said inaugurating the first three-day Renewable Energy  Global Investors Meet and Expo (Re-Invest) here.

"The way for humankind out of disaster, only India can show the way  because we love nature, we worship our rivers as mother," he added.
