Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday, February 3rd, 2026, told NDA MPs that the biggest event of the century was India’s emergence at the centre of the global stage and its growing role in shaping the world order. Addressing a closed door parliamentary party meeting, Modi said India had demonstrated leadership during global uncertainty, including the Covid-19 pandemic and recent geopolitical upheavals.
Referring to the recently concluded trade agreements with the US and the European Union, Modi said these deals reflected how the world was increasingly tilting towards India. He said the agreements showed growing global confidence in India’s economic and strategic position. The Prime Minister’s remarks came even as the Opposition criticised the India-US trade deal, calling it a “surrender” and disrupting Parliament proceedings to demand greater clarity on its terms.
Modi cautioned MPs against complacency, urging them to build on recent achievements and focus on supporting manufacturing and export units in their constituencies. He also described the Union Budget as “futuristic” and aligned with the vision of “Viksit Bharat” by 2047, saying it would create new opportunities for youth.
