Jammu:- Attacking the previous Congress-led UPA government, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said it suffered from policy paralysis and credited Narendra Modi of taking the country from inactive to active mode.
“During the UPA rule there was a policy paralysis in the country. Congress government took years to decide on defence deal, whereas, in the last one year Narendra Modi dispensation has cleared 40 defence proposals,” Singh said while addressing reporters here today.
Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi of taking the country from ‘inactive mode’ to ‘active mode’, he said, “in the past one year, the country has come to active mode from inactive mode. Unlike Congress, which was in inactive and silent mode for the past ten years, Narendra Modi government has been in active mode from the very first day it came to power.”
Claiming that there was not a single charge of corruption against the Modi government, Singh said the Congress-led UPA government was marred with large scale corruption.
“Congress government was victim of policy paralysis, our government brought transparency in decision making. While Congress-led UPA was marred with so many charges of corruption there was not a single one against our government since it came to power a year ago,” he said, adding that the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre was committed to provide clean governance to the people of the country.
He said, the defence preparedness, in the past one year, has received a boost with government clearing 40 new projects that were pending for approval during the previous regime for several years.
Singh said several measures taken by the Prime Minister has helped in improving India’s image on the global platform.
“It was because of the new government’s positive outlook that not only domestic but also foreign investors were feeling secure to invest in India.
“Till now the FDI has increased by USD 28 billion.
Investors from outside and within the country are feeling safe to invest in the country,” Singh said.
The Union Home Minister, who was highlighting achievements of one year of NDA rule, also said that the Modi government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative was not only aimed at bringing a manufacturing revolution in the country but also to help eradicate the problem of unemployment.
Elaborating further, he said India will welcome the FDI and also have an upper hand, as the government would control the 51 per cent share in it. .
