Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare Jagat Prakash Nadda praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's governance on Sunday, after India ranked third in World Economic Forum's list of most trusted governments.
Nadda took to Twitter to share the list, and later followed it with another tweet saying that the list was testimony to India's development.
"India securing third best place in the list of most trusted governments worldwide is an evidence that the country is treading in the right direction of development under our Hon'ble PM @narendramodi ji's leadership," Nadda wrote on Twitter.
Over the past few years, citizens had lost their trust in the government and politicians. The policies and leadership of @narendraModi ji has evoked that trust which is the cornerstone of a democracy. Every Indian is seeing a #NewIndia in the leadership of our Hon'ble PM.

The report reveals that almost three quarters (74 per cent) of Indians say they have confidence in their national government.
The factors taken into consideration were—the economy, political upheaval, and headline-grabbing events like major corruption cases.
The list is topped by Switzerland, followed by Indonesia, while India grabs the third spot.
