Congress led India to state of hopelessness through its misrule: PM Modi at NDA conclave | Top quotes

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday addressed a conclave on completion of 12 years of NDA government and came down heavily on the congress, saying that the grand old party led India to state of hopelessness through its misrule. PM Modi added that the Congress threw India into abyss of corruption. PM Modi said the Congress dragged the country into multi-crore rupee scams but the nation's destiny changed again when the NDA government was formed in 2014. “The country witnessed the pace of development when intent, policy, and decision-making align and work in unison. The nation saw tasks that used to take decades being accomplished in mere months. From 74 airports in 2014 to over 160 airports by 2026; from 1,000 kilometres of expressways in 2014 to 6,700 kilometres by 2026; from metro services in just five cities in 2014 to over twenty cities by 2026; and from 700 crore in defence exports in 2014 to 23,000 crore by 2026, the country has traversed a long journey. In 2014, there were only 25 crore internet users in the country; today, over 100 crore users are connected to the internet. In 2014, digital payments were negligible; today, India ranks number one in digital transactions,” he said.
