Asking party’s “cyber yoddhas (cyber warriors)” to spread awareness about the Narendra Modi government’s achievements, BJP president Amit Shah on Sunday asserted that the BJP-led Central government had struck a balance between economic reform and public welfare and also between promoting industry and agriculture. With the Modi government completing two years next week, a monograph on the government’s achievements was also released by Mr Shah.
At party’s social media workshop, Mr Shah claimed that the Modi government had ended four confusions that had dragged down previous dispensations which were confused whether to give priority to politicians or bureaucracy, villages or cities, industry or agriculture and economic reform or social welfare.
“The Narendra Modi government has ended all these four confusions. These had dragged down the previous regimes and the country’s future. This is a big achievement,” Mr Shah said while addressing the party’s social media volunteers ahead of a massive public outreach planned to mark the government’s second anniversary. Citing the NDA government’s decision to link oil prices to market, a measure withdrawn by the previous governments under “pressure”, Mr Shah said it was one of the reform credentials of the government.
He also spoke about various social welfare schemes to stress on the Modi dispensation’s commitment to the masses.
Accusing the previous UPA government of engaging in “corruption” to the tune of Rs 12 lakh crore, Mr Shah said no government in the world had caused so much loss to the public exchequer. He added that the Modi government does not believe in “empty populist measures and schemes that remain on paper” and added that it wants to bring in fundamental changes and is working with a vision.
Praising volunteers for publicising the government’s “achievements,” Mr Shah said they had made a “big contribution” to the party’s “historic” win in 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
He also spoke about schemes like Start Up India, Stand Up India and Mudra, saying that while no ruling dispensation can provide jobs to all youths, the Modi government had launched these schemes to make them self-dependent.
Mr Shah said while the Modi government had put the country on the path to development, no corruption charge has been levelled against it in the last two years it has been in office.
After Lal Bahadur Shastri, he said, Mr Modi was the first Prime Minister who had the “moral authority” to ask people to give up (LPG subsidy) and over one crore people did so.
Union ministers V.K. Singh and Piyush Goyal spoke at length about the government’s achievements.
