Delhi Development Authority (DDA) carries a very special responsibility and the change they bring is not just for the capital city, it is an impression of India, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Friday.
Interacting with the officers and employees of DDA here, Jaishankar said that any change that is brought in Delhi, also has a model impact on the rest of the country.
"Sushma Swaraj and I used to discuss that our Minister-Secretary combination was the best one as we have carried out many important responsibilities together. DDA carries a very special responsibility, the change that they bring is not just for the capital city, it is an impression of India. Any change brought in Delhi, also has a model impact on the rest of the country and today, the world is looking at us with a great deal of respect," he said.
"My parents also lived in DDA flats. I always wanted to thank all of you for the work that you have done," he added.
Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakshi Lekhi was also a part of the event.
