Rajnath Singh: Narendra Modi government took India from gloom to hope

New Delhi, May 29: Terming the Narendra Modi government’s one year in office as the “year of consolidation”, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Friday said it has changed the general feeling from that of “despair to hope”. ”The country was in despair and gloom during the past ten years of UPA rule but it has been changed to hope within one year of NDA, governance,” the minister said.Addressing a press conference here on the completion of one year of the Modi government in office – ‘Saal Ek, Shuruat Anek’, he said poor governance has been taken over by development and things are improving fast. ”During the UPA rule, poor governance and corruption were in the front seat and good governance and development were in exile,” the minister said.
“We have taken good governance and development back home ‘inki Ghar Vapsi karai hai humne’ (We have brought them back home),” he said. Touching upon various aspects and the work areas of the government, the minister said “Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelling abroad and meeting various world leaders has made a lot of positive change for India”. “There was this non-alignment passive diplomacy during UPA’s rule but now it’s pro-active diplomacy by our government,” he said. ”Be it socio-economic, diplomatic and other areas, things have improved a lot,” Singh said, adding that all economic indicators during the Congress rule were down but now they were looking up.
