'PM Modi is very strong leader, runs solid economy'

PM Modi News: Bharti Airtel founder Sunil Mittal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a very strong leader and he is running a robust economy in a well-organized manner. As a result of his efficient performance under his leadership the rating of all the companies in the country including Bharti Airtel has reached high level. In an interview to the English daily Economic Times on Thursday, Sunil Mittal praised the work of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Bharti Airtel founder Sunil Mittal said during a meeting in 2018 that he is confident of Prime Minister Modi's impartiality and does not favor any company at the government level. His message is important for Bharti Airtel. This has helped Airtel to rise amid stiff competition from Reliance Jio. He said that during a meeting in September 2018, Prime Minister Modi had said that his government would work according to its rules, would not take sides and would only do what was good for the country. With this kind of commitment, companies like Bharti Airtel can give tough competition in the market. Prime Minister Modi does not give priority to just a few, said the chairman of Bharti Group. He said money is coming into this country. A lot of capital comes in, which causes the stock market to boom. These massive ratings are the result of a stable, solid, functional economy under a very strong leader. Sunil Mittal created a stir in the telecom market in 2016 with free voice and data services amid competition from Mukesh Ambani's telecom giant Reliance Jio. At that time Airtel felt that some of the decisions of the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) were adversely affecting it. In this regard, Sunil Mittal had sought a meeting with the Prime Minister in September 2018. Referring to his meeting with Prime Minister Modi, Mittal said I told him that I will fight in the market but cannot fight with the government. He said that the government will not lean on any side. Whatever is good for the country will happen. You fight in the market. I have no say in this, but you can be sure that the government will not stand aside.

Additionally, Mittal said that he was incredibly energized and inspired by that meeting with the Prime Minister. He said that sometimes you just need inspiration. I needed this from someone. The market had a very strong message to contend with. A man who fought against all odds told me with conviction that do your job and the government will only do what is good for the country.

Low tariffs were great for democratizing data services. You start seeing things in a different context because you are convinced that there is no agenda here. With the entry of Jio into the telecom industry, the Internet world in India has completely changed. Affordable data charges have led to massive penetration of smartphones and the spread of digital payments has also increased rapidly.
