Highlight government achievements of two years, Modi directs BJP MPs

As the ruling NDA completes two years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday directed his ministers to highlight the government's achievements before the nation and asked BJP MPs to campaign about the ongoing welfare schemes.

The Modi government completes two years on May 26.

"Prime Minister said it is high time that we should work towards taking all the schemes initiated by the government to the people as it is completing a second year in office," Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters after a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) parliamentary party meeting.

"The prime minister also said that it is time to make our countrymen aware about the achievements of the government. People should be aware of schemes that are pro-common man," Rudy quoted Modi as saying.

Modi also asked ministers to prepare a list of the achievements of their ministries so that the good work can be publicised.

Rudy said a review was also done at the meeting of the business in both the Houses of Parliament.

During the past two years, the Modi government has launched programmes like the Jan Dhan Yojna, Deen Dayal Gram Jyoti Yojna, LPG 'Give it Up', Crop Insurance Scheme, Digital India, Swachh Bharat Mission, Mudra Yojna, Start up India and Stand up India.

BJP president Amit Shah also attended the meeting.
