Improving quality of life of 60 crore poor people biggest achievement of Modi govt: Shah
Ahmedabad, Dec 16 (PTI) Improving the quality of life of 60 crore poor people in the country has been the biggest achievement of the Narendra Modi government, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday.
Addressing the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ organised at Sanand in Ahmedabad district, Shah also urged everyone to take a pledge to make India a developed country, and strive to realise the dream of those who sacrificed their lives for the country’s freedom.
“PM Narendra Modi worked to secure India by carrying out surgical strikes on Pakistan, realised the incomplete dream of abrogation of Article 370, undertook the work of constructing Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya, took India to the Moon through Chandrayaan mission, improved economic parameters to their best since independence, and led to the highest industrial development since independence,” Shah said.
“Several times, journalists ask me as to which of Narendra Modi’s achievements will get my highest marks. I say this without any controversy, confusion or dilemma that if I have to give the highest marks, then it will be Modi’s work to improve the quality of life of 60 crore poor,” he said in his address.
These 60 crore poor get their own houses with tap water connection, gas cylinder, toilets, and also get medicines worth up to Rs 5 lakh, undergo operation and hospitalisation for free, and receive 5 kg food grains. There cannot be a bigger work than this, the Union Cooperation Minister said.
