New Delhi, Jul 22 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called upon the US industries to take advantage of the recent reforms in India by investing in sectors as diverse as space and healthcare.

Addressing the India Ideas Summit hosted by the US-India Business Council via video conferencing, Modi said that now is the best time to invest in India.

He cited sectors such as agriculture, aviation, insurance and finance, defence and space, among others, which offer long-term sustainable returns and scale.

Exhorting investors, he said that tapping into the country's food processing, aviation and power industry can be beneficial for them as key reforms have been carried out in these sectors.

He enticed the US industry by saying that special incentives are being provided to the investors.

On the FDI front, the Prime Minister revealed that India attracted $20 billion in foreign capital during April-July despite the Covid pandemic.

Seven months ago Modi and Shah were claiming there was never a better time to invest in Kashmir. Mukesh Ambani promised to invest in Kashmir. Modi and Shah need to release the progress report on Kashmir.

Dangerous to invest in your leadership. Citizens are scared of their little savings in Public Sector banks which are being merged and re-merged, managed by the PM and the FM.

The decisions on demonetisation, GST, and speedy flattening of the GDP curve instead of the Corona curve make investors jittery. From 9.5% GDP growth by UPA under Dr Manmohan Singh, we are now nowhere - Hand to Mouth living - the Chaiwallah style.

I dont think any business man abroad will get fooled by Modi after noticing his track record of the last six years. His Divisive politics has brought him on the front page of Time magazine as the Great Divider. All these announcements are only for the purpose of" Headlines Management" to fool the people. He has been a Disaster for our Beloved Country.

All those in the BJP who love our country should resign from the BJP to save our country.

Stop religion based politics and divisions and end corruption. Main factors for stopping foreign investments is peoples mindset to negativity, that was seen during recent riots Delhi. Foreign companies watch developments that happen.Cannot put them under the carpet.

World cannot trust communist Chinese, right time the invitation has gone but internal stability / democracy, pro poor policies without discrimination are need of the hour instead of destabilising state governments which are vital to attract external business deals.

20 billion dollars includes the 15 billion that was paid to Reliance Jio by foreign companies. Other amount is purchase of shares in the NSE and BSE share market. These are not an investment, but purchase of shares of an already existing companies. When Modi speaks, there is always half truth and half lie.

When India was at its best in 2014, this man went globe trotting and said 'come, Make in India'. Well, nobody, no nation gave a heed because they have concern about their economy too. Why would they pour their money into India while their home turf suffers ?

Today Indian GDP is in negative parameters. Who will come under these circumstances ? Please stop your oratory exercise, you have ruined everything. Absolutely everything, before Covid-19 hit. Therefore, you can't blame Corona. Please accept your inefficiency and step down. Let Indian economy climb up the rough path and come back to where it was in 2014.

Please... do this to the people who gave you all the luxury you never saw in your life. Come out of the den that costs the taxpayers 1.62 Crores of Rupees per day. Do this favour to the people of India.

Jai Hind !

Still attracting people to invest in the torn economy. Indian economy was down before the pandemic and become really bad after March. On what basis was the PM trying to attract airlines to the country. Still fooling people.

Modi all your baseless statements made most of the people some of the time stupid. Now the time is coming for you and your gang to become stupids in front of the nation. US economy is horrible, and 75% are jobless now. You are asking them to invest in India. What a joke?

The US business community has not forgotten how Warren Anderson was arrested in India, in the aftermath of the Union Carbide case.

In US, CEOs are not arrested when a disaster happens. Instead proper investigations are made, and only then the guilty are punished.

The Indian system goes to declare a CEO guilty straightaway.

So, the Gujju-bai might light many diyas, but US investment won't be happening.
