Arnold Schwarzenegger: Have always
admired PM Narendra Modi; he started solar revolution in India
New
Delhi: There is no denying the fact that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has
millions of fans across the world. PM Modi, who was recently lauded by US
President Barack Obama for his 'legendary work ethic', and referred to as tough
and stylish, has found a new special admirer in Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Former
California governor Arnold, who is in Delhi to attend the 15th edition of
TERI's annual flagship event 'Delhi Sustainable Development Summit' admired
Modi's style of governance as Gujarat's Chief Minister, and hopes that he'd
continue to be lauded for his focused and dedicated efforts as the national
leader.
"I
have admired PM Narendra Modi and watched him very carefully since the time he
was elected as the Chief Minister of Gujarat. He was the one who started the
solar revolution in India, and came up with the idea of covering the canals
with solar panels and was very strong when it comes to environmental
issues," he said, adding, "My dream is that he continues with the
environmental kind of mentality since he is now the national leader and also
come with us to Paris to the negotiations because he is really the great hope.
I have admired him and I hope he will continue that way as he has done in the
past."
