Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday told BJP MPs from Rajasthan that there was unprecedented public support for demonetisation and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, adding that “soft economic policies aimed at winning elections” would not do the country any good.
The meeting with party MPs from Rajasthan was one in a series of interactions that the Prime Minister holds with BJP MPs, State wise, when Parliament is in session. He had met MPs from western and eastern Uttar Pradesh last week in the same series.
“We have received people’s confidence and unprecedented support in historic decisions like demonetisation and GST. People want honesty and the country is moving towards honesty and the people have faith in this government’s intentions,” Mr. Modi told the MPs, according to an official release by the BJP.
