The Narendra Modi government celebrated two years in office with a gala event, which was well-attended by Bollywood actors, including megastar Amitabh Bachchan. The Prime Minister vowed to root out corruption and make life easier for the people who had been “looted” for years.
Many Union Ministers dwelt at length on the “achievements” of the BJP-led NDA dispensation at the centrepiece event which was held at India Gate.
Without naming the Congress, Modi accused the opposition party of pursuing the agenda of “obstructionism” and recalled the scams and scandals that took place under the UPA governments, including in coal block allocation.
The Prime Minister said checking the menace of corruption was the focus of his government.
As long as we do not remember the work done during the days of the previous government, we will not be able to realize that what a big task has been accomplished.I am standing before people of the country with satisfaction. We have been able to to get the trust and enthusiasm of people despite a very minute examination of our work. The trust of people is growing day by day. This also increases our confidence.
Speaking at the “Ek Nayi Subah”event, Modi said that the government’s agenda was development.
On one hand there is the agenda of development (vikaswaad) and on the other hand is the agenda of obstructionsism (virodhvaad)
