Ten-per cent reservation in education and government jobs for the youth from economically weaker sections will enhance the confidence of ‘New India’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday, asserting that the new arrangement will not encroach upon anyone’s rights.
Addressing the BJP’s National Convention at the Ramlila Maidan here, Modi said for first time in the country’s history, there has not been any charge of corruption against a government.
The BJP rule has proved that the country can be run without corruption, he added.
He said earlier governments saw farmers (annadata) as only ‘matdata’ (voters), while his government was constantly trying to address challenges faced by them.
“We are working day and night to double farmers’ income by 2022,” he said.
“Congress doesn’t want solution to Ayodhya issue, it is creating hurdles through its lawyers”, he said.
“Country should decide if it wants a pradhan sevak who spends months on vacation abroad or one who works tirelessly without taking break,” he said.
“Despite being harassed for 12 years by UPA govt when I was Gujarat CM, we didn’t ban entry of CBI in state,” Modi added.
He also asked why Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh governments have banned CBI in their respective states.
