PM Narendra Modi Presents 1 Year Report Card; Says Destroyed Power Circles

“I did not give guarantee of ‘achche din’ for those who looted the nation for years. We will run the country in a way that there will be more ‘bure din’ for them and their troubles will increase. Your money can’t be looted by anyone,” Modi said.

BJP has planned nearly 200 public rallies by its main leaders across to mark the first year of the NDA government.

However, Modi, who made a very pro-farmer and pro-poor pitch during his hour-long speech, did not mention the contentious land acquisition bill, on which his government is facing tough opposition even from NDA allies.

Noting that thoughts of three leaders “shaped us in the last several years – those of Mahatma Gandhi ji, Lohia ji and Deendayal ji”, the Prime Minister said he therefore picked the “Deen Dyal Dham” to share the one year achievements of his government.

Earlier, the government was run by the remote control and every day a scam or corruption case was coming out, Modi alleged and asked people if “you have heard about any scams, any nepotism, any remote control in the last year?”

“Who brought this change, this miracle that has happened, the wave of enthusiasm is rising. Had elections not happened in 2014 and had they got one more year, how much the country would have sunk deeper? What would have been the situation of the country had you (People) not taken such a big decision?

“As long as we do not decide from where we have come out, we cannot decide where we have reached. What was the situation in the country last year, when UPA was in power,” Modi asked.

With the Opposition targetting Modi government over BJP’s ‘achche din’ slogan, the Prime Minister countered it saying that his government has freed the country of bad days, bad intentions and bad deeds in the past one year.

Under attack from the Opposition for being pro-corporate and anti-poor, Modi sought to project the government as one, which is dedicated to the poor, farmer and deprived.

Putting the blame on previous governments for the poor plight of farmers, he listed a number of measures like Jan Sinchai, Soil Health Card and other measures taken by his government to provide succour to the farming community.
