Modi underlines his achievements |
India`s Prime Minister Narendra Modi used the trope of contrast to highlight the gains made during his last over four years vis-a-vis the previous achievements to suggest that he has lived up to the promise of hope he had offered to the electorate in 2014. “Hum tod rahe hain zanjeerein, (We are breaking the shackles) and Hum badal rahe hain tasveerein, (We are shaping the picture)” summed up the essence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 80-minute fifth Independence Day address from the ramparts of Red Fort on August 15,2018. Modi used the achievements in the areas like toilet coverage, LPG coverage, electrification, optical fibre networks till 2013 (during previous UPA regime) to suggest that he has marched with pace and purpose during last four years. He has guts to take firm decisions, Modi referred to decision like ‘One Rank, One Pension’ for armed forces and providing one and half times the cost of input as the minimum support price for crops for farmers, GST, Insolvency and Banking reforms, Surgical Strikes among others. This was another attempt to suggest that his government was not suffering from paralysis, but it had a clear resolve and purpose towards issues that hanged fire previously.
