are many good works done by Modi government many of
which have not got the required publicity attention.
More
than 2 lakhs of bogus Aadhar cards were cancelled. More than 3.46 lakhs bogus
shell companies have been derecognized and 3.09 lakhs directors associated with
these entities have been disqualified. GST was introduced to prevent the
Pakistan money coming into the hands of Hurriyat.
Nearly three crore fake and duplicate ration
cards have been cancelledduring the three years of the NDA
government. This also saved the country Rs 17,000 crore every year during
this period, he added. Linking the ration card to the holder's Aadhar number
had allowed the government to clean up the system, CR Chaudhary, Minister of
State for Consumer Affairs, Food And Public Distribution said. He was speaking
at the 21st National Conference on e-Governance.
"Out of 23 crore ration cards in the country, 82 per cent (19 crore) are linked with Aadhar. We have removed 2.95 crore fake or duplicate ration cards in the country in the past three years which has resulted in a saving of Rs 17,000 crore annually. It has ensured that food grains are being delivered to the rightful person," he said. As per the latest report, (Jan 16, 2019) the government has saved Rs. 90, 000 crores by weeding out 60 million fake ration cards
The Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with an aim to provide 24×7 uninterrupted electricity supply to each rural household across the country by 2022. India has jumped 73 spots to be ranked 26th in World Bank’s Electricity accessibility list. The country was ranked 99th in 2014. Out of the 18,452 villages, which lacked electricity, over 18,000 villages have been provided access to electricity. In addition, a person applying for new electricity connection within 24 hours in areas where power infrastructure, electricity connection would be given in a week. The government’s rural electrification programme is on track for completion within completion within the targeted 1,000 days.
The Government has established an institution National Financial Reporting Authority (NFRA) to regulate auditors.

The
Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) said it struck off around 2.24 lakh
companies for remaining inactive for a period of two years or more. Several of
these companies are suspected to be shell companies and restrictions have been
imposed on the operation of their bank accounts and sale of movable and
immovable properties until they are restored. The decision was taken based on
data received from 54 banks post demonetization.
A
preliminary examination of 58,000 accounts involving 35,000 companies has revealed
that over Rs 17,000 crore was deposited and withdrawn post demonetization, the
release said. Demonetization was a Central Government order passed on 8
November, 2016, which had invalidated all old notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1,000.
The
Pradhan Mantri Jan-Dhan Yojana started in 2014 “when banking was
just a prerogative of a small section of society, with almost 42 percent of Indiabeing
excluded from it." said Jaitley while delivering the keynote address at
the Conclave on Financial
Inclusion organized by the United
Nations in India.
But
in 2018 Jaitley said 84 crore new accounts have been opened under this scheme
since 2014, with the number of rural-urban women beneficiaries touching 17.6
crores. Zero balance accounts under PM Jan Dhan Yojana have
come down to 20 per cent from 77 per cent in the past 3 years, he added.
However,
volunteers took up a door-to-door approach of encouraging rural dwellers to
open bank accounts, explaining additional incentives like the availability of a
RuPay card, insurance benefits and more. Now 26 crore people have availed the
RuPay Cards.
The
Centre's Pradhan Mantri Mudra Yojana has also assisted 20 crore people under
the scheme by providing small loans and financing small businesses. "Over
a 100 million people have been included in this scheme so far, whereby by
paying a premium of Rs.1 per month, these beneficiaries can avail accident
insurance worth Rs. 2 lakh. Upon paying a slightly higher premium,
beneficiaries can avail full time death insurance as well," said Jaitley.
The
abolition of triple talaq has brought great relief to lakhs of Muslim married
ladies, who were under the perpetual fear of being divorced at any moment without
giving them an opportunity to defend.
The Haj Subsidy has been withdrawn as
per Supreme Court order of 2012. By withdrawing subsidies for Haj pilgrimage, the Modi Government- has
upheld not only the decison of the Hon'ble Supre Court buy also the Islamic law
read with Koranic verses - which states that a as India is a Secular Nation -
taking subsidy for Haj is not as per religious rules of Islam .
Although
most major political parties have been voted to power at the Centre over the
last seven decades, no party or coalition of parties had the courage to touch
this issue, lest it be seen as hurting Muslim sentiment, which actually acted
as an act of aggression on Muslim Religion
Further
to note , Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi announced that the
money spent on Haj subsidy would
be utilized for social welfare. These funds were be used for education
and other welfare measures for Muslim women and girls.
All
Padma awards were not given to film stars or cricket players as was the case
with previous government, but were awarded, for the first time, to those who
have really contributed worthy of making our India great and proud. All the 4
years the awards were given to highly deserving people, who did not have
god-father.
The
petrol dues of $6.5 billion worth of oil borrowed from Iran had not been
cleared by the previous government. But Modi government has cleared it in one
lump sum. Iran has agreed to accept oil payments in Indian rupees, not in US
Dollars. Saudi Arabia has promised to open an oil refinery in Mumbai.
Further, Saudi Arabia has agreed to give petrol in exchange of water!!
The
speed with which Kulbhushn Yadav case was moved to International Court of
Justice prevented the hanging of Yadav. Harish Salve, who argued the case for
India, did not take any money or fees, except a token amount of Rs. 1 mainly
because Modi is a clean handed man!
More
than 1 crore people have voluntarily surrendered cooking gas subsidy. Further, the subsidies are being credited to the
bank account of the customers, thus stopping the leakage of crores of money
which was consumed by the different oil companies. More than 18 lakhs of
villages have been electrified in a record time.
Prime
Minister Narendra Modi launched
the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) under the ministry of petroleum &
natural gas on May 1, 2016, from Uttar Pradesh’s Ballia district. The Rs 8,000
crore scheme aims to provide LPG connections free of cost to 5 crore below poverty
line (BPL) households. For 2016-17, the target was set at 1.5 crore households,
which the ministry achieved in just nine months, and it has been able to cover
2 crore households by the end of calendar year 2016.
The
rapid progress of the PMUY has raised the percentage of Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribe house holds with LPG connections to 37% of the total LPG
coverage in the country. The same has risen to 13% for minorities. Priority is
given to states where LPG penetration is below the national average, such as
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Ujjwala
independently addresses women, mainly from the economically weaker sections, as
it must contribute towards making the lives of women and children easier and
healthier, so that they don’t spend time collecting firewood and other
unhealthy items.
An
oil ministry statement said that, in FY17, the three fuel retailers—Indian Oil,
Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum—issued a total of 3.75 crore new
LPG connections, the highest number given in any year, including
connections under the PMUY scheme. As a result, the LPG coverage in the country
jumped to 72.8%, with 19.88 crore active consumers, as on April 1, 2017. 5
crore people have got free gas connections. Apart from the successes, there are
multiple challenges too, such as inadequacy of authenticated data on BPL
population and identification of poor households, in transferring subsidies as it may involve
leakages.
According
to International Labour Organisation (ILO), India recorded the highest average
real wage growth in South Asia during 2008-17. In South Asia, India led the
average real wage growth in 2008-17 as 5.5 against a regional media of 3.7.
According
to Centre for Digital Financial Inclusion (CDFI), that uses technology for
financial inclusion, says that the government has transferred over Rs. 1600
crore to eligible mothers under Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana.
The
Delhi-Meerut expressway was commissioned in just 500 days! Likewise,
9.15 km long Dhola - Sadiya Bridge, named after Assam singer Bhupen Hazarika
has brought a great relief to the people of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, as
these two states are now connected. This bridge reduces the cost and time of
travel time by 7 to 8 hours and will open new doors to economic development
making the NE region as a top economically developed region. The
Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP).
Around
65 lakhs of new tax-payers have been added in these 4 years. This means to that
black money which was circulating in the economy has been eliminated.
The
Foreign exchange reserves have touched $421.12 billion, which is a historic
high record.
In
a report disclosed by RTI activist Lokesh Batra, it has come to light
that the amount spent by the ex-Vice President Hamid Ansari on his
foreign trips was 7 times higher than PM Modi spent on all his foreign trips.
Modi travels during the night to foreign countries so that he can sleep in the
airplane to avoid expensive hotel bills in foreign countries.
Expressway
in Gurugram, which was recently inaugurated by the Prime Minister Modi, is
expected to relieve the traffic congestion of the National Capital region
(NCR). This is because this Expressway links the National Highways number 1,
10, 8 and 2 running through the districts of Sonepat, Jjajjar, Gurugram, Mewat
and Palwal. Likewise, the Prime Minister Modi also inaugurated the Eastern
Peripheral Expressway or the Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal (KGP) Expressway in
Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh.
To sum up some of the wonderful
things which Narendra Modi has done are –
Modi initiated
was to dismantle the long-standing relic of economic planning, the Planning
Commission, and also eliminate the distinction between planned and non-planned
expenditure in the country’s annual budgets. These changes signalled the
completion of India’s ideological shift in economic thinking, away from the
state-led planning of the Nehruvian era towards a market-oriented approach of
development. A major drawback of the Planning Commission had been that it
created rigid national schemes, which required states to implement them by
setting aside a significant share of funds. This left the states grossly
disempowered.
With the
dismantling of the institution, the states were now left with more discretion
over how to use their funds. The government also accepted a proposal of the
Finance Commission to give state governments 42% of central tax receipts, up
from 32%.
Advancing far
on the reform process, the private sector was given further leeway in sectors
where the state was proving incompetent. A cap on foreign investment in the
defence sector was lifted from 26% to 49%. Similarly, furthering Vajpayee’s
initiative to allow private entry into the insurance sector, the cap for
foreign investment in it was raised to 49% as well.
The World Bank
noted in its 2018 Doing Business report that India had adopted thirty-seven
reforms since 2003 and nearly half of them had been introduced in the last four
years.
A few of the
key reforms that the World Bank alludes to have been game-changing in their
expected long-term impact on the economy. The first arose from a strenuous
legacy of rising non-performing assets (NPA) with public sector banks that the
BJP government had inherited. The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016, was
passed in parliament to address the issue. The code allows either the creditor
or the borrower to approach the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) to
initiate insolvency proceedings. It further lays down provisions for debt
resolution within a span of three to five months.
The second
major reform by the BJP government on the economic front came in the form of
the biggest tax reform in Indian history with the implementation of the goods
and services tax (GST), after well over a decade in the making. The tax, which
aims at simplifying the tax structure of the country by replacing the erstwhile
multilayered complicated tax system, was introduced in 2017
The new tax
system eliminated the maze of check posts at state borders, where lorries
transporting goods typically used to languish for hours. It is expected to
transform into higher ease of doing business in the economy and translate into
facilitation of a high-growth trajectory.
The third
major contrast in the BJP government to the previous one has been in its
approach towards combating corruption. While the second term of the UPA had
been mired in corruption scandals right at the top, the complete absence of any
such cases since then has been refreshing. The government has also been focused
on addressing the problem of black money in the economy. A successful effort
has been made in managing to end the data secrecy of money stashed in Swiss
banks, which has long been perceived as a haven for illicit wealth.
The fifth
major achievement of the
Modi government has been able to control that to a good extent. While the YoY inflation
growth has been negative, the mean inflation rate lies around 4% which is a
good indicator
In short we can conclude by saying that FIIR
EK BAAR Modi SARKAR -- is more likely to provide a
strong & active Government with a much better 'law & order'. In such a
case, minorities would feel much safer. Major community would also feel much
better, as a part of the sense of 'being wronged against' & of
'appeasement' of minorities, would get mitigated, which would reduce their
anger against the minorities. The neighboring countries both having hostile and
friendly relations would have to respectfully treat India, knowing that India
is in the hands of the perfect Prime Minister
