Won’t let nation go on wrong path even if some things remain undone: PM

DAVANGERE (KARNATAKA): In an apparent reply those questioning his Government’s performance, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said his two-year dispensation had initiated over 700 schemes and even if some tasks remain undone, “I will not let the nation go on the wrong path”.

Addressing a public meeting here as part of ‘vikas parv’ (development festival) on completion of two years of his Government, he asserted that he would “never go on the path of sins” as he charged that the previous Government had “yielded” to pressure from various lobbies, including diesel and petrol ones.

Slamming the critics who “started questioning his work” even when he had not seen my office properly, Modi said his Government’s programmes are mostly for the benefit of farmers and poor people, besides ending the role of middlemen, including in jobs.

“My Government had not completed even one week in office and some people started questioning its work. We were asked to give account. There are some people in this country who talk of democracy but don’t believe in the Government elected by the people. They cannot digest (NDA coming to power). They wonder where from I came. I have come from this land, from among you,” he said.

“Whatever I have done during the last two years has been for the welfare of the people only. Some people say Modi does not do big things,” he said. (AGENCIES)
