Will Build India Of Your Dreams, Join In Our Effort: Modi To Indians Abroad

Referring to the elections that swept him to power in May, Modi thanked the diaspora for their support and said he has not taken even a 15-minute vacation since becoming prime minister.

"Winning elections is not for sitting on a seat, it is a responsibility. And I have not taken even a 15-minute vacation since becoming PM," he said.

As the crowd chanted "Modi, Modi" throughout his speech, the prime minister said his government will not leave any stone unturned to fulfill the expectations of the people.

He said India is at an opportune cusp of circumstances, blessed with a vibrant democracy, with 65 percent of its people under the age of 35, and a market of 1.25 billion people and will scale new heights in the near future.

"These three things are present in one country; this is not there anywhere else in the world. And on the basis of this India will cross new heights - it is my belief," said Modi as the crowd chanted, clapped and cheered every time the prime minister made a good point and appealed to their patriotism.

Referring to the ageing populace across the world, he said that India is blessed with the youngest population and the largest workforce in the world.
