New Delhi, June 16, 2025 (ANI): Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri on June 16 said that he was witness to Delhi's evolution after partition, further stating that after successive waves of migration, the population in the city had finally crossed two crores. He further stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India's Gross Domestic Product increased from two trillion dollars to four trillion dollars. “I’ve seen Delhi evolve since just after partition, when the city’s population was around 11–12 lakh. After successive waves of migration, the population has now crossed over 2 crores. You can see the results of the triple-engine government we now have—at the Centre, in Delhi, and in the MCD. With PM Modi’s 11 years of governance and the support of local bodies, we have no excuses left. We must now deliver on the promises of development and ensure Delhi gets what it rightfully deserves. When PM Modi took charge in 2014, India’s GDP was 2 trillion dollars. Today, it has reached 4 trillion dollars…,” said Hardeep Singh Puri.
