Defense minister praises BJP government

New Delhi, January 13: Central ruling Party BJP has already started the campaigning for upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman asked BJP workers to create awareness about the government s achievements. While speaking about BJP government she said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has provided "corruption-free" five years and that no major terror attack has taken place during this period.

Speaking on the party s political resolution on the last day of the two-day Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National Convention here, she also accused the Congress of seeking help from Pakistan to remove Modi as the Prime Minister and said it was possible only under Modi s leadership that the country could foresee a bright future. "BJP workers should highlight two things. First, that there has been no major terrorist attack after 2014. All attempts to wreak havoc in the country have been eliminated at the border itself and this government has ensured that there are no opportunities for terrorists to disturb the peace. "And second, that we have had corruption-free five years.

"Pakistan is today isolated in the world arena due to Prime Minister s diplomacy and his ability to maintain relations with all countries. He has built relations with the leaders of the world. Pakistan is feeling the heat today and unofficial (terror) groups supported by Pakistan wreaking havoc in the country are being stopped right at the border," she said. Sitharaman added that under Modi s leadership, "the defense forces conducted surgical strikes across the border and instead of commanding them, the opposition wanted proof". "We showed them the proof. And it was the same opposition -- some leaders of the Congress -- who went to Pakistan seeking help to remove Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This is the kind of dirty politics that the Congress plays." She said India was at a "historically important juncture" and the BJP workers should create awareness about reforms being undertaken by the government and work in that direction till Lok Sabha election results are declared.
