New Delhi, June 9 (IANS) Sworn in as Union Minister once again on Sunday, Jyotiraditya Scindia said that India’s journey towards development and prosperity will gather more speed during the third term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“It is Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strong resolve to develop each and every corner of the country.
