India Celebrates 69th Independence Day
15 Aug, 2015
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday vowed to end corruption, exhorted India to "start up, stand up", didn't announce the eagerly-awaited One Rank One Pension scheme and gave a complete miss to foreign policy.
Addressing the nation from the ramparts of the 17th century Red Fort, Modi said in his second Independence Day address that his government was determined to build a new India, including providing electricity to 18,500 power-less villages in the next 1,000 days.
