‘Country was facing serious policy paralysis before 2014’: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi

BENGALURU: Union Minister Pralhad Joshi on Tuesday said that country was facing a serious policy paralysis due to instability and weak leadership of the UPA government (2004-2014) at the Centre adding that under the 11 years of leadership Prime Minister Narendra Modi nation has witnessed consistent growth across sectors.

“Before 2014, the country was facing serious policy paralysis due to instability and weak leadership. As a result, governance suffered and development stalled. Today, under PM Modi, we have a stable government and strong leadership, which has enabled consistent growth and visible development across sectors. Just to cite an example, the percentage of people living in extreme poverty has drastically reduced, from around 21 per cent to just 5 per cent. More than 26 crore people have come out of multidimensional poverty. This transformation clearly reflects the positive impact of stable governance,” Union Minister Joshi said.

Union Minister further said the Modi government has received the trust of the people for its good governance carried out in the last 11 years.

“Under the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Samman Yojana, we have deposited Rs 3.70 lakh crore directly into the accounts of farmers… Rs 25 crore people have benefited from it… In every such area, the Modi government has moved forward as a decisive government. We have also received the trust of the people,” he added.
