As the Narendra Modi-led BJP government completed three years in power, not even the Opposition has been able to accuse it of corruption, said BJP National President Amit Shah. He was speaking in Mumbai on Sunday to launch Hamare Narendrabhai — a Hindi translation of a Gujarati book on PM Narendra Modi.
Shah lauded the Prime Minister for taking politics beyond considerations of caste, family-dominance, appeasement, and vote-banks and “mainstreaming the politics of performance in the country”.
He lambasted the erstwhile Congress-led UPA government for “scams worth Rs 12 lakh crore.” Shah said no one from Modi’s family or extended family has ever misused his position. “There are few leaders who live by such staunch standards of probity in their personal lives,” he added.
“In the Manmohan Singh government, every minister considered himself as the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister was never considered as one… Narendra Modi restored the pride of the Prime Minister’s position,” said Shah, adding that the government was decisive, transparent, speedy, and confident.
“The democratic system was running on the basis of personalities and families. In Gujarat, Narendra Modi gave the word ‘party’ its previous importance,” said Shah, adding that the party’s platform was given to those with capabilities.
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said in over three years, the Modi government has created a situation wherein it is globally accepted that trade ties and diplomacy with India are inevitable.
