He took a dig at the Opposition, who had criticized the growth figures, stating in Hindi, \"Kuch logon ko aankde hazam nahi hue (Some people couldn’t digest the numbers).\" Modi highlighted that the growth was achieved despite ongoing war in West Asia and various trade-related challenges, emphasizing India's economic strength and potential. He added that India's resilience in the face of such difficulties demonstrated its potential. Modi further mentioned that the political party notorious for putting India in the \"Fragile Five\" was finding it difficult to accept these figures.",
