Where there’s Indian youth, there’s PM Modi. The much-anticipated Global Citizen Festival or which more or less came to be known as the ‘ColdPlay concert’ went down in Mumbai last night. With over 80,000 fans in attendance, PM Modi addressed the youth via video conference.

Modi started “I know I stand between you and ColdPlay and so I will make this brief”. He further joked that “You've been smart in asking me to only address (the) gathering and not sing, or else I'm sure you'd be asking (for your) money back, that too in Rs 100 (notes)," he joked during his speech”. 

He also used the opportunity to reflect on the political situation in India with the help of Bob Dylan’s most famous song- The Times They Are A Changin. "Come mothers and fathers, throughout the land, and don't criticise, what you can't understand. Your sons and your daughters, are beyond your command. Your old road is rapidly again'. Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand, for the times they are a changin," said the PM. He also spoke against poverty and poor sanitation and called out the youth to be pillars of support in making India neat and clean and corruption free. He also thanked ColdPlay for coming together and standing shoulder to shoulder in this mission.
