Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said their government contained the inflation below 5 per cent while it had reached double-digit growth during the Congress-led UPA regime.
Before 2014, the Indian economy was fragile, inflation was high and fiscal deficit was beyond control, Shah said at the India Global Forum`s annual investment summit NXT10 in Mumbai.
Today, India has emerged as a policy-driven state, he said.
“We are approaching elections with our government`s performance of last 10 years and roadmap of next 25 years,” the Union minister said ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a visionary PM, Shah said that by 2047, when the country celebrates its centenary of independence, Bharat will be completely developed, atmanirbhar (self-reliant) and among the top three economies in the world.
“Bharat is a self-confident and self-reliant country, which has transformed itself from a dormant to a dynamic government, from regressive to progressive growth, and from a fragile economy to a top economy,” Shah said.
The progress made in the last 10 years should be compared with the previous UPA government`s decade, he said.
“Unless you do not know how deep the pothole was, you cannot understand the progress we achieved,” the senior BJP said.
“Inflation reached double-digit growth during the Congress-led UPA regime; our government has contained it below 5 per cent. The country`s confidence was shaken due to various scams of Rs 12 lakh crore during the UPA`s tenure, crony capitalism was at its peak,” he said.
