Amit Shah Exclusive Interview: Before the voting for the third phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has given an exclusive interview to the country’s largest news network ‘Network18’. In this interview given to Rahul Joshi, Group Editor in Chief of Network18, Amit Shah talked about many issues. He also talked about the problem of Naxalism in the country.
Rahul Joshi: Amit ji starts with the issues first. What are the issues on which Bharatiya Janata Party is going among the people for the third time today? Briefly tell about which achievements you are presenting among the public?
Amit Shah: See, first of all terrorism and Naxalism were two such problems in this country, which had been a bane for the development of the country for many decades. Narendra Modi ji has almost got 100 percent relief from terrorism within 10 years and for Naxalism you can say that it has been eliminated up to 95 percent.
The Home Minister further said, “Today Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra. Naxalism has been completely eradicated from these 7 states. Left only in 4 districts of Chhattisgarh. Now the Bharatiya Janata Party government has been formed there too and within the last 3 months, about 100 Naxalites have been killed. I have full confidence that after Modi ji becomes the Prime Minister for the third time, the country will get freedom from Naxalism within one-half to two years.
Amit Shah said that the second big issue is the country’s economy, which was in ruins from every aspect. Policies were not made and production activities had slowed down. Exports were falling flat. The balance sheets of all the public banks of the country were not even prepared. Such was the situation, inflation was touching the sky and overall sixteen out of sixteen parameters of the budget were showing negative. In just 10 years, Modi ji has completely changed this scenario.
Home Minister Amit Shah further said, “The stock market is touching the sky today. Even after the selling of FFIs, Indian mutual funds have given strength to the market. Due to PLI scheme and a strong eco system, India has become the number one preferred destination in the world for manufacturing. Our children are registering startups every day. Our companies are registering patents every day. Many self-employment opportunities have been created. Today the balance sheets of all the banks have become very good.”
Home Minister Shah further said that all the parameters of industrial growth are at the top most marking in 25 years. The export continues to break records and continues to grow. Similarly, there are some sectors which are going to drive the world’s economy for the next 25 years. India has today become a pioneer in all those fields. Like green hydrogen manufacturing, they are a little late, but semi-conductors, electrical motor vehicles, battery production, space sector, despite being late, I would like to say again defence. Within many such sectors, which are going to decide the direction and condition of the world economy for the coming 25 years. Today India has laid a strong foundation there and a big building is to be built on it. So the economy has also improved, the country has also become safe. Earlier the country was the 11th largest economy in the world, today it is the 5th largest economy.
Amit Shah said that infrastructure development work is being done everywhere. Be it village or city, forest or desert, sea shore or city. Today, infrastructure expenditure of Rs 10 lakh crore is a common thing in India’s budget. GST collection and direct tax collection are breaking all their own records. Narendra Modi ji has also done the work of strengthening the borders within the country in a very good manner. India’s future is bright. It is the responsibility of the leadership to build this kind of trust among the public, Narendra Modi ji has succeeded very well in this. Today, all 130 crore people are moving forward with the confidence that we can become the first in the world. Be it higher education, new economic policy or Ram Janmabhoomi, removal of Article 370, ending triple talaq, UCC or making radical changes in the criminal law of the country. These 10 years are 10 years written in golden letters in every field. The public is also feeling that the pandemic like Corona could be fought so well, it is only because of the leadership of Narendra Modi ji.
