Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the centenary celebrations of Shriram College of Commerce, drawing a sharp contrast between India's condition in 2013 and 2026. He stated that India is growing at 7.8 per cent and creating jobs despite global disruptions, criticising previous governance for policy paralysis, high inflation, and placing the economy among the Fragile Five. The Prime Minister also targeted the opposition over his previous remarks and highlighted India's strengthened stance against terrorism. Following the address, the opposition hit back, accusing the Prime Minister of using the college centenary as an election and public relations platform. The Congress alleged that the Prime Minister failed to address key student concerns, including police action during protests at Jantar Mantar, while opposing political leaders questioned the inclusivity of the government's economic growth narrative.
