"In his 15 years of rule Narendra Modi has become the envy of every other CM. Fate and hard work combined to make the turnaround possible. Gujarat did it and later Rajasthan also made that possible (during BJP rule)," Raje said at an interactive session 'empowering women' organised by Ficci's Ladies Organisation.
"During my 5-year old tenure Rajasthan attracted mou to the tune of Rs 1,70,000-1,80,000 crore," she said.
Without naming anyone, she said "If you wish to do it really, reforms are just not words to be bandied around.
"You go out and industrialists say there is so much negativity about the government. Corruption has affected everybody and we have to start doing things differently," Raje said.
Stating that in the event of her return, the government would honour any decision taken by previous regimes, Raje said "We created the situation where the diaspora promised to come back. The momentum should be there."
