Swraj Paul lauds Modi's efforts to eradicate corruption

NRI industrialist Lord Swraj Paul has lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts to eradicate corruption, saying he has managed to put the fear of law in the minds of corrupt people.
Paul, the Chairman of the Caparo Group which has over 20 manufacturing units in India, also said Modi is very committed and he is very clear where he wants to take the country.
"The Prime Minister has managed to put the fear of law in the minds of corrupt people," Paul said here last evening.
Referring to demonetisation, he said, "People have come to believe it is a serious effort and a lot of black money has been unearthed. Now fear of getting involved in black money has increased a lot. People have started realising the consequences of indulging in black money."

Paul, who just returned from India after meetings with President Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Modi and several ministers, said there is a sense of optimism and progress.
