During his speech at Ricoh Coliseum, Prime Minister Modi said, India is a large country and it will take time to clean.
 
“There is a new atmosphere of trust in our nation. India is a large country and it will take time to clean, Adding that the problem is old and it will take time but you can see there is a change in the people.” 
 
“In times of crisis we do not see the colour of anyone's passport. We do everything possible for people,” he said.

“We want our youth to be job creators not job seekers. Skill development is very important. 
 
I can tell you, India has the strength, what is needed is opportunity,” Modi said.
 
Modi while highlighting the India's successful mission mars, said the mission was an example of Indian talent; as India reached mars on price less than making of a Hollywood film.
