KOZHIKODE: India will become the first or second largest economy after pushing America by 2030, said BJP chief P S Sreedharan Pillai. He said this while addressing the Vijay Sankalp Rally attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Kozhikode. We have reached a time declared by the international society, he said.

As per the figures disclosed in the election manifesto released by the party, India will become an economy worth Rs 345 lakh crore which means we will become the third largest economy within three years. After that in 2030, India will become first or second after pushing America aside, he said.

It was the BJP who first started the Sabarimala strike. We will not avoid mentioning Sabarimala during the poll campaign. Nobody can stop us. The party will make it an issue. In the Indian politics, there is no one to replace Narendra Modi. Pillai thanked Modi for including the Sabarimala issue in the election manifesto.
