From fragile 5 to aspiring USD 5 tn economy, govt changed country: Modi


Mumbai, Feb 18 (PTI): The BJP-led government's budget reforms have created a new work culture and are transforming the socio-economic landscape of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Mumbai on Sunday.

The government, he said, is working in the times of disruption and discontent.

"Our budget is not limited to outlay, its focus is on outcome. Our reforms in budget making and presentation have created a new work culture and are transforming the socio-economic landscape," the Prime Minister said.

Modi was speaking after inaugurating the 'Magnetic Maharashtra' Global Investors Summit in suburban Bandra.

"We are moving in a direction where the state is policy driven, governance is performance driven, government is accountable and democracy is participative," he said.

"We are working in times of disruptions and discontent," Modi added.

In the last three and half years, the government has transformed the country from being a ‘fragile five' nation to one now aspiring USD 5 trillion GDP, he said.

"I am sure that Maharashtra will become the first trillion dollar economy in the country. Maharashtra's development is representative of changes in the country," Modi added.

He further said that a country progresses only when it has a vision and works for inclusiveness.

"Potential, policy, planning and performance leads to progress," the Prime Minister added.

He said the government in the last three years has repealed 1,400 laws and the new ones are being written with the intent of simplification, not to complicate (things).

On investments, Modi said there is a healthy competition among states to attract investments as per their strengths.

"What started with Gujarat is visible all across the country now. I congratulate Maharashtra government for the work on ease of doing business and making it easier for investors," he said.

He further said that the 'Samruddhi corridor' (between Mumbai and Nagpur) will help boost agriculture and agriculture-based industries.

On the Centre's development initiatives, Modi said, "We will create 1.5 lakh wellness centres in bigger gram panchayats".

Besides, Modi said, 10.5 crore people have been accepted under MUDRA scheme and Rs 4.60 lakh crore has been disbursed to small businesses.

    When poor farmers who cannot repay loans of Rs 100-500 are forced to commit suicides after losing their lands, industrialists who commit dacoity of thousands of crores of rupees are allowed to escape from the country with the blessings of the government.
    Prime Minister election slogan of “Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga” stood exposed following the escape of Nirav Modi from India. If only Nirav Modi’s Aadhar Card had been linked with his bank accounts it would have been clear how he showed up in Davos".
    Over Rs 61,360 crore worth bank frauds had taken place in the last five years of which NDA has been in the government for the last four years.
    “The PM won’t tell us which private people are travelling with him because it’s a state secret. The Defence Minister won’t tell the price of Rafale, because that’s a state secret. The Finance Minister won’t disclose the health of the economy as it’s too a state secret. The Information and Broadcasting minister won’t disclose her educational qualification as that too is a state secret".
    After 'demonetisation' GDP is in free fall. Is this figures USD 5 trillion imaginary figures? This astonishing figures is nothing but 'raincoat' bath to divert attention from more than Rs 60,000 crores scam.
