Castigating the Congress and other Opposition for criticising the Modi regime at the Centre, completing one year at the office, BJP vice-president Prabhat Jha said every Indian should be proud of the achievements of this Government.
He said that in only 365 days, a new image of India emerged in the world.
To a query, Jha said that Kashmir has been the integral part of India and the BJP is not going to make any compromise on it. Though the BJP had made compromise with the party of different ideology in that State but it was necessary for the countrys sake, he pointed out.
Claiming that the people of India are proud of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign tours in 17 countries, Jha said his predecessor Manmohan Singh also visited same number of countries in one year, but it could not be termed as success while Modi received tremendous response from these countries.
Alleging that the Opposition parties were misleading the farmers and common man in the name of the land Acquisition Bill but they were not ready to spell out which clause in the Bill was against the farmers’ interest.
Terming the Bill as historical, the Rajya Sabha Member said that the Bill has provision of acquiring land for irrigation, power, school education, schemes related to health.
Jha said during this one-year, the GDP has touched 7.4 per cent while the Government managed to control spiraling prices of essential commodities and vegetables, on the contrary, the Congress 10 years tenure was marked by scams and corruption. The achievements of the NDA regime will be visible after two years, Jha opined.
