Blaming the UPA for price rise Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that the ten-year rule of the Congress Government has derailed country’s economy which was the main reason for current inflation and rise in the prices of essential commodities.
“We are on repairing job and the economy would be back on tracks very soon. We have made promises to people during election campaign. By the end of five years people will themselves realise that the BJP has fulfilled all the promises,” he said while talking to reporters here on Monday.
He said that effective steps have already been taken to control the prices of vegetables and other essential goods. “Nothing can be changed in a day or even a month. Give us some time, and we promise you “achchhe din,” he said and added: “The Centre has already sought cooperation from the state governments to control prices and to act against the hoarders”.
‘’The Narendra Modi government is just one month old and it has won praises from national and international economists. They are already saying that NDA would do better than the UPA,’’ he said.
The Union Home Minister categorically said that within three years’ time National Population Registration (NPR) would be made compulsory for every citizen. Singh said that after the completion of NPR the Government will consider about the fate of the illegal Bangladeshi residing in the country.
Singh who was in his parliamentary constituency for two days avoided all questions regarding law and order situation in UP. Besides he also parried all controversial issues including resignation of the governor, naming of new BJP president, naxal issue or even the Chinese intrusion.
When asked about the internal security he said the Government will chalk out a comprehensive plan in this regard. When asked about this comprehensive plan he refused to elaborate.
Reacting on the black money issue, the Union Home Minister said that the BJP Government’s first decision was to set up SIT on black money. It was a commendable step. The Government is committed to put up all details obtained from foreign banks on public domain.
He also said that the SIT and other concerned departments are monitoring all the aspects of black money and even the recent report that people are converting money into gold, silver and diamonds.
