BJP lists Modi govt’s ‘achievements’ to counter Cong charges


New Delhi, Jan 1: The BJP has rejected the Congress’s charges that the Modi government’s promises remained unfulfilled. The ruling party of the Centre today claimed that the Narendra Modi government’s 20-month tenure was a story of “promises fulfilled and results delivered” and noted that India had become the “fastest” growing country in the world amid a global slowdown.
After former Finance Minister P Chidambaram attacked the government over the issue of economy and jobs, BJP hit back saying the Manmohan Singh government had passed on a “very weak economy” and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had been able to lift it with his “tireless” work.
“Our government’s action and its results is visible.
There is a slowdown in the world but India has left China behind to become the fastest growing economy. It is a story of promises fulfilled and results delivered,” BJP Secretary Shrikant Sharma said.
FDI had shown an increase of 40 per cent and Foreign Institutional Investment (FII) inflows rose by 717 per cent in 2014-15 compared to the previous year, he claimed.
Giving out figures, he said manufacturing sector had grown by 6.9 per cent and capital goods by 21.8 while the corresponding figures in the UPA were minus 1.1 and minus 10 per cent respectively.
