Highlighting the scams that unfolded during the Congress-led UPA regime, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Saturday hailed his party's transparent governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the past 11 months.
"Every party worker can proudly say that even the opposition cannot accuse us of corruption in these 11 months. The BJP has given a transparent governance...The government under the leadership of Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has done immense work in the last 11 months," Shah said at a rally here.
"The people were doubtful about the country's future during the UPA regime. There was no safety for women, there was rampant inflation, the industries were getting closed and growth had come to a
halt...There were all kinds of scams during their regime be it the 2G scam, CWG scam, VVIP chopper scam," he added.
The BJP president also thanked the party workers for making BJP the world's largest political party.
"It is because of the efforts of the party workers that Jan Sangh, which started with a few people, has now emerged as the biggest party in the world," he said.
Shah further said the year 2014-15 will be known as golden years in the history of the country and BJP.
"People of the country wrote a new chapter in the history of the country during this period. After 30 years, a single party got absolute majority. The decision taken by the people after 68 years
will go a long way in making India a powerful country in the future,"
he said.
