New Delhi, Aug 15 (IBNS) Delivering his Independence Day speech from the ramparts of Red Fort, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he would make the country free of corruption and bring transparency.
 
"There has not been any charge of corruption against the 15 month old government and I will make it a corruption free India," he said referring the countrymen as Team India.
 
He said he brought transparency and efforts like coal auction fetched Rs 3 lakh crore in the coffer of the nation.
 
Modi said Rs 20,000 crore was deposited in bank by people of the country in the Jan-Dhan Yojna and growth has to be inclusive.
 
"We deliver," he said, claiming that his government is not making schemes only but also executing them.
 
"We have tried to change the system," he said. He said strong medicine is required to fight black money. 
 
Modi claimed that he brought inflation down and it is no longer double digit. "It is three to four percent now only," he said. 
 
"We introduced Shrameva Jayate Yojana. It is an effort to chage the way we look at the workers of India," said the PM
 
He said children of India have given maximum strength to the "Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan" to make a clean India.
 
He said "we need to increase agricultural productivity and we are working in that direction."
 
He said efforts are on to develop eastern India.
