time Executive Directorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday that the government's determination of „zero tolerance“ against corruption had brought great achievements to the agency, which was not allowed to work independently until 2014. .
The prime minister was active even on the day the election was announced. A mass-distributed letter from the Prime Minister addressed to „my family“ reached hundreds of thousands of recipients on WhatsApp. The letter talked about the „transformation“ of people's lives over the past decade and detailed the government's various schemes and how it is working towards the upliftment of the people.
„Every government agency (now) is working independently to fight corruption,“ Prime Minister Modi said at a conference organized by the media group. Look at the ED for example. Until 2014, only 1,800 cases were registered under PMLA. As an independent institution, it should have been allowed to operate independently. What was the need to interfere with that? I told them they could do whatever they wanted. In the past 10 years, the ED has registered 4,700 cases. ”
Congress and other opposition leaders have accused the ED of targeting only them, and if any of them joins the BJP, cases against them will be dropped or not pursued.
PM Modi also said that during his 10-year tenure, assets worth Rs 1 billion were given away, compared to just Rs 50 billion till 2014.
He said that in the next five years, infrastructure will reach new heights, Indian railways will be completely transformed and solar power will reach every home.
On Friday, he appealed to the masses in a letter sent through the social media platform WhatsApp, saying, „The changes that have taken place in the lives of our people are the greatest achievements of our government in the past ten years.“
He asserted that these transformative achievements are the result of sincere efforts made by determined governments to improve the quality of life of the poor, farmers, youth and women. He highlighted the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Matru Vandana Yojana and many other schemes.
He sought ideas, suggestions and support to realize the resolve to build a Vikshit Bharat (developed India).
