Sandhu said he has worked closely with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the past 10 years and said the PM is focused about development. “In the last 10 years, I have worked closely with PM Modi's leadership, especially in the relationship with the United States and Sri Lanka. PM Modi is development-focused,” he said.
He added India-Us relationship has transformed during the past four years. “There has been a transformation in India-US relations in the past four years. It has transformed from a relationship to a partnership. India has received investments in many areas. Opportunities are created for the youth. I am concerned that Amritsar should not miss the opportunities the country is getting,” ANI quoted Sandhu as saying. He added his hometown Amritsar has a lot of potential and he is very affectionate towards it.
Sandhu thanked the prime minister, Home Minister Amit Shah and Party President J.P. Nadda for his political innings.
