New Delhi:

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah on Tuesday said the NDA government's first year in power has restored the pride of the Prime Minister's Office and removed the trust deficit that was earlier prevalent in the country.

 

"This has been a visible government, earlier the government needed to be found. I believe that the major achievement of the government is to remove the trust deficit (vishwas ka sankat) this country had," Shah said at a press conference at the BJP headquarters here.

 

"The world is acknowledging India's progress in every field. This government has restored the pride of the Prime Minister's Office," he added.

 

The BJP chief further said that every ministry today is working freely without interference from a Group of Ministers and the government has "come out of policy paralysis".

 

Shah also lauded the absence of any corruption allegations against the current government, saying more than Rs 2 lakh crore has been added to the nation's treasury by transparent auction of 20 coal mines.

 

"I'm glad to inform you that even opposition could not impose any allegation of corruption on this government in the past one year. By just transparent auction of 20 coal mines, more than Rs 2 lakh crore has been added to the nation's treasury," he added.

 

He added that no government had worked to improve the federal structure of India more than the Modi government.

 

"Despite the BJP not having power in several states in eastern India, we worked for the development of the region as we had promised. Modi ji has put forth a new idea of Team India where the Centre and the states are part of the same team," Shah said.

 

The BJP chief also claimed that the country's growth rate falls whenever there is a Congress government and increases whenever the BJP comes to power.

 

"The fiscal deficit is under control, trade has grown, foreign investments are at their highest in 10 years and prices have been brought under control," he further added.

 

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi had stated that his government's one year in power had been characterised by full transparency, quick reforms and strengthening of the Federal Structure.

 

The Prime Minister also expressed his happiness to see India on "the fast path of development", and added that the country's environment since the NDA government came to power last May is "suffused with a new enthusiasm".
