'Bridging trust' biggest achievement of Modi govt: BJP

The country has been pulled out of the red corridor zone with the growth rate rising to 7.4%, says BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra

BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra today congratulated the Modi government for "bridging the trust" and bringing a turnaround of the economy.

Setting up of 'Niti Ayog' in place of Planning Commission, devolution of central kitty to states, a vibrant foreign policy, 'Pradhan Mantri's Jan Dhan Yojana', rejuvenation of relations with minority community are some of the successful planks of the Modi regime, he told reporters here.

"During the UPA government there was breach of trust between the Prime Minister and his ministers, between the PM and UPA Chairperson. The then Prime Minister was found unaware of what was happening in his Coal Ministry. Because of mistrust there was policy paralysis," he said.

But now with Modi acknowledging and trusting the aspirations of people, "The biggest achievement of his government remains bridging of trust," he claimed.

Attacking the UPA government, Patra said, "Corruption had earlier marred governance. While omission of corruption has been one of the major achievements of Modi."

"Modi had said 'I am the chowkidar (watchman) of the country' to keep vigil over the treasury so that not a paisa is wasted by corruption", he said.

Stating that the Prime Minister has been able to effect turnaround of the economy, he said, "The country has been pulled out of the red corridor zone with the growth rate rising to 7.4 per cent from 4 per cent and the high rate of inflation coming down. The common man is relieved today."

Claiming that India has been ranked as a stable economy now, the BJP national spokesperson added, "International economic analysts have asked investors to reach out to India now and seize the opportunity".
