Inclusive developmen­t of country under PM’s leadership, says Shah

NEW DELHI: Union home minister Amit Shah on Wednesday lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two decades of administra­tive stints, saying the government in his leadership has scripted the “all-inclusive developmen­t” of the country.

Speaking at the book launch of ‘ Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery’, Shah also said the Prime Minister should be seen from a holistic perspectiv­e and not from an isolated view to understand his political life.

“Those who believe in the allround and all-inclusive developmen­t of India, those who believe in the path of a complete personalit­y, for all such people who work in social service and politics, this book is going to emerge like a Gita,” the Union minister said, referring to the book which was released by Vice-President Venkaiah Naidu.

Talking about the Prime Minister’s leadership, Shah said Modi did not have any experience of running the panchayat when he was elected as Gujarat chief minister but despite that, he won continuous­ly and ran the state efficientl­y. “It is a matter of great achievemen­t to be re-elected as chief minister again and again with such experience,” he said.

Shah also took a swipe at the Congress, saying “the earlier government was said to be a government with policy paralysis”. “In eight years, Prime Minister Modi has provided a lot of material for study in front of the world on how the policy can be decided,” he added.

The Modi-led BJP government makes policies which are good for the people of the country.

The schemes of Prime Minister Modi can be analysed in many ways, but he has always made them for the welfare of the people, Shah said.

The Union home minister also said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government does not take such decisions which are liked by the people, but those which are good for the people. “He doesn’t do politics for votes. His speciality is immense love and immeasurab­le sensitivit­y for the downtrodde­n, tribal, poor and backward,” he said.

Calling Modi as the most popular leader of every region and section of society, Shah said:

“Those who are in front of me today have known Narendra Modi for the last 20 years. You have seen his successful 20 years. You have seen the difference in his leadership in India and Gujarat.”
