“I am certain that by 2047, we will achieve Viksit Bharat through Viksit Gujarat, and Gujarat will be at the forefront of making India developed. I am confident that by 2047, Gujarat will take the biggest lead for a developed India. Gujarat remains and will always be the country’s growth engine,” he said.
