If we had worked the old ways, decisive decisions like Article 370 won’t have been possible: PM Modi – Economic Times

Slamming old ways of the previous governments, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that if our government would have continued to work according to "the old ways", decisive and determined decisions like abrogation of Article 370, resolution of Ram Janmabhoomi issue, abolition of Triple Talaq, Chief of Defence Staff would not have been possible.

Prime Minister Modi was replying to the Motion of Thanks on the President's Address in the Lok Sabha.

In a scathing attach on Congress and opposition, he said government sat idle for 70 years. "Some members have asked that why this government is in so much hurry," he said. Replying to this Modi said the government wants to work away from the league. "The Country is not ready to wait forever. The people of India have not only changed the 'Sarkar' (government). They want the 'Sarokar' to be changed as well," he added.

"Our approach helped us in taking big decisions and the decisions were not taken based on vote bank politics," Prime Minister said.

"We have kept the fiscal deficit in check. Price rise is also under check and there is macro-economic stability. Investor confidence should increase, the country's economy should be strengthened, for this we have also taken several steps," he said.

He also took a dig at the Congress' leader of opposition Adheer Ranjan for regular interruptions during his speech. He thanked him for promoting Fit India Movement of the government. "Adheer ji not only give speech in Parliament but also do gymming. I thank him for promoting the government's Fit India movement.
