BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said on Thursday that his economic knowledge was limited just one word - trusteeship. "And this is enough for me."

The remark came in reply to Finance Minister P. Chidambaram's jibe in January that Modi's knowledge of economics could be written on the back of a postage stamp.

"My knowledge is so small that you do not even need a postal stamp to write it. It is encapsulated in just one word - trustee, like Gandhi-ji talked of trusteeship. You are the trustee of the country's resources, not its owner. For me, this much knowledge is enough," the Gujarat Chief Minister said at International Conference on Indian Economy in New Delhi.

Outlining the BJP's economic agenda for the Lok Sabha elections, Modi said: "We must build an agenda for speedy yet sustainable economic growth that is inclusive of all, respectful of individuals, responsive to innovation and responsible towards the future generations. We must build an economic agenda that leads to increased standards of living and social justice."

Modi said development should be made a 'jan andolan" (mass movement).

"Development should be a mass movement. Gandhi-ji made freedom struggle a mass movement. He linked every word and act to freedom struggle. Like this, development should also be linked to mass movement. Even a bus driver should say 'I'm working for the country's development and say I will not waste diesel'," he said.

Modi said the push for growth has to come from states.

"We need to strengthen our federal structure. The prime minister and all the chief ministers are a team that has to run the country. The PM and his Cabinet is not a complete team. The team will be complete if the PM and the CMs work together and bring change," he said.
