“Modi govt instilled confidence among people”

Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Minister Kalraj Mishra on Friday asserted that the Narendra Modi government has not only wiped out the negative image and perception of the country at the global level, but has instilled confidence among the people in its first two years in office.

“The biggest achievement of the Narendra Modi government is, it has been able to instil a sense of confidence among the people in its first two years of rule at the centre,” Mr Mishra said while addressing a ‘Vikas Parv’ function to celebrate the second anniversary of the government.

Wiped out the negative image of India: Kalraj

Not only this, Modi has been able to wipe out the negative image and perception of the country that has been made at the global level within a few months of the NDA government taking over from the UPA, Mr Mishra said, adding, this happened only because of the “Prime Minister’s conduct and hard work.”

When Modi became the Prime Minister two years ago, it was a challenging task as there was a negative image and perception about the country at the global level that it is a country with a weak PM, riddled with scams, corruption and economy in tatters. Modi wiped out this perception, he said.

Citing the initiatives taken by the government in the past two years, he said schemes like Jan Dhan, social security scheme to provide insurance cover at a nominal premium, Atal Pension Yojana, MUDRA, crop insurance for farmers, soil testing, Make In India through skill development, Start Up India, increasing states’ share in divisible pool of central taxes etc have been translated into reality.
