India known for scams during Congress reign, image brightened during PM Modi's rule: Himachal BJYM President

Shimla (Himachal Pradesh) [India], April 29 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha's Himachal Pradesh unit President Tilakraj Sharma on Monday said that India was known for scams during the Congress's reign before 2014, but during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rule in the past 10 years it became known for a strong economy and good governance.
"Before 2014, the country was known only for scams, sometimes 2-G scams, sometimes Commonwealth scams, sometimes Bofors scams and sometimes some other scams. But in the last 10 years, the Modi government has worked to make the country's image brighten on the world stage," Sharma told reporters here.
"Today India is the fastest growing major economy in the world and will become the third largest economy in the next 3 years," he added.
He said that the Modi government at the Centre has worked with the basic mantra of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas and the work that has been done in these years could not be done in the total 60 years of Congress, even in a small and hilly state like Himachal Pradesh. AIIMS Hospital, Medical College, PGI Satellite, Central University, two-lane and four-lane highways and roads worth thousands of crores are proof of this, he said.
He claimed that under the BJP government at the Centre, women, farmers and the poor benefited through its policies and schemes.
He said that the previous Jai Ram Thakur government had opened more than 1,000 institutions in the development journey of the state, but the present Congress government closed them as soon as it came to power.
The Jai Ram Thakur government provided self-confidence to the youth and provided employment opportunities to the youth and on the other hand, the directionless government led by Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu of Congress had given false guarantee to the youth of providing 1 lakh jobs in the first cabinet and 5 lakh jobs in 5 years, he said.
"The youth of the state did not get new employment in the last 15 months, but the state government has played a cruel joke on the educated youth of the state by closing the employment recruitment institutes, due to which today every parent and youth of the state is disappointed and frustrated and they are worried about the future," Sharma said.
He said that in order to realize the resolve of the youth of the country for a developed India, Narendra Modi's government should come for the third time. (ANI)
