10-month NDA govt better than 10-year UPA govt:Modi

Days before the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance government is set to complete its first year in office, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday hailed the progress achieved by the government since it assumed power in May 2014.

Addressing the media after the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting, which began at 9:30 am, ended, Union Minister of State for Minorities Affairs Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said the meeting discussed the work the government did in the first year of its inception.

During the meet, the PM said the work done by the NDA government in one year is far better than that of the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance government.

Hailing the government for improving foreign relations, the PM said only the NDA government is capable of developing good relations with Pakistan.

Naqvi said it was the NDA government which solved issues with India’s neighboring countries like Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

The PM also said that India helped Nepal and Maldives during their time of crisis, added Naqvi.

The minister said the government also raised the issue of black money.
