Moscow, July 9 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that during his third term, his government aims to make India the third-largest economy.
Addressing an Indian community event in Moscow, he said it was a coincidence that number three figures prominently in his government's many aims for the third term.

PM Modi said, "It may be a new term for you, but Lakhpati didis are women self-help groups in villages in the country, we want to empower them and skill them so that three crore women become Lakhpati didis."
"It is a big aim but with the blessings of people like you, all aims will be accomplished with ease," he said.
