Amit Shah Addresses a Press Conference at the BJP Headquarters in Delhi Marking 1 Year of Modi Government: Highlights

New Delhi:  Amit Shah addressed a press conference at the BJP headquarters in Delhi marking one year of the Narendra Modi government in power.

Here are the highlights of his press conference:

• The elections in 2014 were record-breaking for the BJP and for the Indian democracy.


• After 30 years, a single party was given a mandate and for the first time after independence a non-Congress party was given a full majority.


• This has been a visible government, earlier the government needed to be found.


• There are many ways to evaluate the government’s work. I believe that the major achievement of the government is to remove the trust deficit (vishwas ka sankat) this country had.


• The world is acknowledging India’s progress in every field.


• This government has restored the pride of the Prime Minister’s Office.


• Every ministry is today working freely without interference from a Group of Ministers.


• This government has come out of policy paralysis.


• Under Modi ji’s leadership, we had promised that we will root out corruption. We have been able to do that… even our political opponents have not been able to point fingers at us for any scam.


• The people who propounded the zero-loss  theory should face the people of India.


• There is a limit in trying to fool the people. I dare the Congress to bring up the ‘zero loss’ theory again.


• What has the Congress done in its 60 years in power for recovering black money?


• We have enacted a law on black money and we are determined to get ‘black money’ back.


• If the BJP government announces the name of those who have black money, then according to international treaties, we will not get further information.


• What is your interest? To make headlines or to protect those on whom we still have no information.


• No government has worked to improve the federal structure of India more than the Modi government.
