Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday said there was lack of work culture in the past and India lagged behind in development despite "big surnames" running the country.
He said since the BJP came to power in 2014, change can be witnessed.
Addressing the 'Jagran Forum' organised by the Dainik Jagran media group, he said, "People with big surnames came to power and went but no solution could be found to the problems."
He said today, the government has the courage to aim high and take big decisions because it is a strong government which has the full mandate of the electorate. "For a new India, the focus of the government is on ability, resources, culture and security."
