Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that under by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, India will not only emerge as an economic power but also as a spiritual power — free from poverty, deprivation and discrimination based on caste, creed and religion.
Addressing a seminar on “Sankalp se Sidhi tak” organised by the BJP in lucknow on Friday, Rajnath said that the Prime Minister has taken up the gauntlet to make a “New India” and transform the country into proverbial sone ki chidiya.
He aserted that a solution would be found to the Kashmir problem as also other problems like terrorism, naxalism and North-East insurgency by 2022.
“India is standing at the cusp of change. It is the commitment of Modi to transform the country by 2022. Now, the nation is plagued with various problems ranging from Kashmir conflict to poverty, where one was working hard to get two square meals a day. Things will change and by 2022 there will be no Kashmir issue and India will once again be the proverbial sone ki chidiya,” Singh said as the audience clapped in approval.
The Union Minister said the Prime Minister has taken a “sankalp” (pledge) to make India stronger and the dream must be translated into reality. “The manifestation of that dream will see the end of terrorism and extremist activities. That will be the sidhi (realisation) of that pledge,” he said.
“Government is able to cap corruption through various steps like demonetisation and implementation of GST. Farmers are getting good remuneration of their produce. The youth is getting training under Skill Development projects and doors have been thrown open for entrepreneurship by providing these skilled people money through Mudra Banking,” he said.
Singh stressed said that borders were safe under the Modi government and the peace and tranquility across the country was a reflection of NDA Government’s success.
