"There was an atmosphere of disappointment in the country. Our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has removed that gloom... There was policy paralysis and no decisions were being taken," Goel said at the 'Modi Tea and Exhibition' held at his residence here.
Enumerating the schemes launched by the Modi government in its first year, Goel said, "Modi Government's one year achievements were so numerous that even Modi will find 365 hours inadequate to count them."
BJP's national organisation secretary Ramlal said that in its first year, the Modi Government has laid down a strong foundation of an "educated, healthy, rich and respected" India.
"A foundation of the vision of India Modi strives to achieve in the five years, has been laid in the first year of the government," he added.
The party leaders and workers later took out a "Vikas March" that was scheduled up to India Gate but the marchers returned to the venue, 10, Ashoka Road, from the halfway mark.
