Mumbai
\n\u201cFour years ago, nobody thought Congress leaders would get convicted for the massacre of Sikhs in 1984 . No one believed that people would get justice,\u201d Prime Minister Narendra Modi said at an event in Mumbai today.<\/p>\n
Insisting that his was a government with a difference, Modi went on to say that the Rafale aircraft deal was done transparently. \u201cFor the first time, India\u2019s biggest court had given a verdict that work has been done honestly. No one thought this would take place four years ago,\u201d the PM said.<\/p>\n
He further hit out at the Congress by dwelling on the AugustaWestland defence deal. \u201cNobody thought four years ago that Christian Michel, the main man in the helicopter scam, would be brought to India,\u201d Modi said.<\/p>\n
He went on to hit out at those accusing the government of corruption. \u201cWe have a tendency to believe all corruption allegations against the government. Whether it is malpractice or corruption charges, the psychology has remained the same,\u201d Modi said. The PM also said the government was committed to eradicate corruption. \u201cCorruption was taken for granted in India. \u2018Chalta hai\u2019 This is how things work in India,\u2019 people used to say. Why should it be like this?\u201d Modi asked rhetorically.<\/p>\n
He further said in the past nothing used to happen to companies who did not repay loans. \u201cThey have always been given protection by some special people,\u201d Modi said. The PM went on to say that the government was in the process of simplifying the goods and services tax . \u201cThis government was trying to bring 99 per cent of things below the 18 per cent GST slab,\u201d Modi said. He claimed that the GST regime has added another 55 lakh registered enterprises to existing 65 lakh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
