PM says NDA has replaced hesitation with hope, obstacles with optimism
New Delhi, Feb 23 (UNI/IBNS) :Into the election season and more often under attack for not delivering, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday sought to show mirror to the enemy camp and claimed that his government has been able to replace UPA's corruption with high growth rate and hesitation in governance with hope.
“After 2014, hesitations have been replaced by hope, obstacles have been replaced by optimism, and issues have been replaced by initiatives,” the Prime Minister said while addressing the fifth edition of the two-day Global Business Summit here.
“Today, there is a competition as to whether India will get 100 per cent sanitation first or 100 per cent electrification first. There is competition as to whether all habitations will be connected by road first or all homes will get gas connection first,” he said.
Mr Modi said earlier regimes have been working on a competition who can do maximum corruption among themselves.
“There was competition on who can do maximum corruption, there was competition on who can do fastest corruption,” he said mocking at the erstwhile Congress-led regime, adding, “There was competition as to whether coal will get more money or spectrum. There was competition as to whether CWG would get more money or defence deals.”
“We all saw that and we also know who were the main players involved in this competition. I will leave it to you to decide which form of competition you would prefer,” he said taking a dig at Congress president Rahul Gandhi without taking any names.
