Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Tuesday said that not even a single allegation of corruption has been leveled against the present Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in last one year. “It is a matter of pride that a transparent Government is operational in the country,” said Amit Shah while addressing ‘Jan Kalyan Parv Maha Rally’ organised in Karnal to mark the completion of one year of Central Government.
He said, “Earlier, there was a scam every month during the UPA rule which accounted for about Rs12 lakh crore. Now, even Opposition could not level any allegation on our Government.” While referring to the previous UPA Government at the Centre, Shah said that there was an atmosphere of disappointment everywhere during last 10 years in the country and besides, inflation and corruption was at its peak .
He also blamed the previous Congress Government, saying that the party did not pay any heed to bring back the black money. On the contrary, Prime Minister had constituted SIT on black money in first Cabinet meeting and had paved the way for stern laws in this direction. Today, borders are safe and Government is also striving hard in this direction. BJP Government has also worked to enhance image of the country abroad, he added.
Targeting the Opposition, he said that some opposition leaders are misleading the innocent people saying that BJP has not done anything for the welfare of farmers. “Many decisions have been taken for welfare of farmers in their hour of crisis including increase in the compensation amount and relaxation in the limit of luster loss grains. The Central Government has decided to launch Pradhan Mantri Irrigation Scheme to increase area under irrigation upto 14 per cent in next five years in the country,” he added.
The BJP chief said that soil health cards on the model of Gujarat and Madhya Pradhesh would be adopted in the country to help the farmers in identification of kind of fertilizers and quantity of water required for their crops. The scheme of soil health cards has been successfully implemented in these two states to better understand the use of nutrients, fertilisers and improve productivity of soil. Both these states have achieved 14 per cent agricultural growth rate.
Shah said that the Centre would provide employment opportunities to youth through ‘Make in India’ and ‘Skill India’, ensuring country’s high growth rate and strengthen the rail and road network. At the rally, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal thanked the Central Government for providing support and many new projects for development of the state including Rs1094 crore projects of railways, declaration of nine State Highways as National Highways and many others.
