He also accused the Congress of not taking any step to tackle black money menace despite being in power for 60 years and questioned its right in demanding a reply from the BJP.
"No government took even a single step for last 60 years against black money. Modi government is the only government that has taken steps, be it formation of an SIT or bringing a new law to prevent black money from going abroad.
He said the BJP-led NDA government has laid a strong foundation for the country that will help India achieve a respectable position in the world in the next four years.
Addressing a rally to mark government's first anniversary, Shah said, "This is just a beginning. Modi government has done the work of laying a strong foundation in the country. In the next four years, a grand structure will come up on it.
"I assure you that at the end of five years this government will ensure a respectable place for India on the world map."
Attacking the Congress, he said, they are demanding a reply from BJP which has given its account directly to the people and asked what has Congress done in its 60-year old.
"The people are demanding an answer from you," he said.
