BJP has given a decisive and corruption free govt: Amit Shah
Hitting back at Congress for accusing the Narendra Modi government of doing nothing in the last two years, BJP president Amit Shah today said his party has given a decisive and corruption-free government to the country.
“In the two years of Narendra Modi government, the BJP has given a decisive government to the country. Congress leaders are touring the country and asking what you (BJP) have achieved in last two years…we would like to tell them that we have given a Prime Minister, who speaks, which you did not give in your (UPA’s) ten years rule,” Shah said while addressing party Workers here this evening.
“(Earlier), People would long for the Prime Minister (former PM Manmohan Singh) to speak. But, his (Singh) place to speak was only at 10 Janpath…he remained silent,” Amit Shah said.
“We have given a Prime Minister (Narendra Modi), who not only speaks on each and every problem of the country, but also works on resolving them. That is the decisive government BJP has given to the country,” Shah said to thunderous applause from the party workers.
During the ten years of UPA rule, every month one or the other scam and scandal used to come out and under the UPA government, scams, scandals and corruption to the tune of Rs 12 lakh crore took place. In the whole world, corruption had reached its peak in our country during UPA’s rule. The country’s border was not safe. After independence, the country’s esteem was on the decline, he alleged.
“However, our opponents were not able to level any allegation of corruption against the Modi government. We have been able to give a corruption-free government in the last two years,” he said.
On Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge terming Modi as an “NRI Prime Minister”, Shah said that the PM has worked towards bringing glory to India.
On NDA government completing two years in Office, Kharge had yesterday said, “Neither we are able to understand nor the citizens of this country have been able to understand on what work has been done (in the last two years by NDA government). What is the achievement they have made and they have achieved. We want to ask what you have given to the farmers, to the youths, to women and Dalits.”
In response, Shah said, “Kharge Sahab…you are asking us what we have done…But, I want to ask you for 60 years (Congress ruled the country). You took votes from the poor people and what did your leaders do for them. BJP government under Modi opened more than 21 crore bank accounts in just one year…launched a mega scheme for providing 5 crore LPG connections to poor women, gave loan to poor under Mudra scheme.”
Shah further alleged that the country’s border was not safe during UPA’s 10-year rule. “But now an Indian soldier gives a befitting reply if he is fired at,” he said.
Modi government has taken up several works for farmers and has set a goal to double their income by 2022, he said.
He also called upon the party workers to work towards strengthening the organisation to enable it to form its own government in Telangana in 2019 elections.
