New Delhi, Aug 6 (IBNS): Prime Minister Naredra Modi, launching the PMO App, and said participative democracy is crucial for the country.

"The spirit of a democracy is incomplete if one thinks the citizen's role stops at voting. Participative democracy is essential," Modi said.

He said the benefits of policies must reach the 'intended beneficiaries'.

"Often, Governments think only about winning the next election and then their policies are also shaped accordingly," he said.

"Grievance redressal systems are the biggest strengths of a democracy," he said.

"Good governance means those processes that are redundant do not exist," Modi said.
