Former United States President Bill Clinton is impressed with Narendra Modi's economic policies.

Narendra Modi's economic policies has won him the post of India's Prime Minister. So it's not unnatural that world leaders are impressed with Modi's economic policies and his firm belief in inclusive society.

Bill Clinton has been following Modi since his Gujarat chief minister days. The former US President, while speaking to a leading news channel in India, said "Leave Gujarat sectarian violence in the past."

The Ex-President says that he was personally impressed with Modi's economic policies. He even pointed out that everybody has a firm belied that Modi has the potential and can bring changes in the political and economic scenario.

During the interview Clinton also spoke over the visa controversy. The Ex-President said that Modi was denied US visa over the international outrage surrounding the Gujarat riots of 2002. Now that he has been voted to power with a massive mandate those incidents belong to the past.

Clinton also praised India for being able to preserve an inclusive democracy even in its poor pockets.

Bill Clinton was also appreciative of Narendra Modi's decision to take initiative to strengthen ties between India and Pakistan by invite the Pakistani PM Nawaz Sharif for his swearing-in ceremony.

Political experts feel that an invitation to Nawaz Sharif was a political master stroke of Modi. It had the dual purpose of rolling the communication between the two countries and also a signal to Muslims in India that Modi was their PM as well.
