Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said while the previous governments used to frame policies to suit vote bank politics, the current dispensation has ensured that people’s faith in the government is restored.
Delivering the keynote address at the HT Leadership Summit, the prime minister said his government is moving forward with the mantra of progress “of the people, by the people and for the people”.
“Our government has set a clear purpose. We are staying away from vote-bank politics and are working with the mantra of ‘progress for the people, by the people.’ We aim to make India a developed nation, and the people of India have entrusted us with their confidence. In this era of social media, where there is misinformation and disinformation, our government stands firm and resolute.
“When in many countries governments change with every election, people in India elected our government for a third time. Earlier, governments were run to win polls and policies were made to suit vote bank politics. But we have ensured that people’s faith in government is restored. Today, India is filled with unprecedented aspirations and we have made these aspirations a cornerstone of our policies,” he added.
