NEW DELHI: Two major achievements of the Narendra Modi government during last four-and-half years have been no major terror strike and not a single case of corruption, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said here on Saturday.
“All BJP karyakartas of BJP should highlight two important things….we have not had one major terrorist attack in this country after 2014,” Ms Sitharaman said at the BJP National Convention speaking in support of the political resolution moved by the Union Minister Nitin Gadkari.
“We should remind our people that this country has lived a peaceful five years,” she said although admitting about the disturbances in the border. However, she said, Indian army has made sure that ‘every efforts’ made by inimical forces to come to the country are foiled and “eliminated even at the border”.
“This government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has ensured one thing pucca…..that there shall not be any opportunity for the terrorists to disturb peace in the country,” Defence Minister said. Second issue which is of equal importance and that needs to be highlighted by the BJP workers, she said is “corruption free five years”. “Absolutely there has been no corruption in this country…..not even whisper of corruption in this country under the leadership of PM Modi,” she said adding, “Therefore, if an ordinary man wants to live in peace and bereft of corruption; that is the life PM Modi has brought in”. She recounted that one of the early decisions of the Modi government in 2014 after coming to power was to ensure that there would be no necessity for attestation of certificates by gazetted officers.
The government has focused on ‘Good Governance’ as the Prime Minister specifically gave importance to both small as well big reforms strategies. “Therefore, we can take pride in our selves to say Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas. We have to have the reforms continue, ,” said Ms Sitharaman. (UNI)
