No, it is the only economy moving ahead fast in the world. Nobody can compete with it.'advertisementNaidu noted that while India was once seen as a 'poor country incapable of anything,' it is now emerging as one of the most powerful nations globally. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership over the past 11 years for the country's rise from the 11th to the 4th largest economy, with projections to reach the 3rd spot by 2028.
