Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently completed one year in office, has, in an exclusive interview with Smita Prakash, editor, ANI, said the opposition alleging that his government is a "Suit Boot Ki Sarkar' is definitely better and more acceptable than being labelled a "Suitcase' (ki Sarkar), and satirically added, that after ruling for sixty years, the Congress has suddenly remembered the poor. 

On the recovery of black money, Modi said, "My government is fully committed on the issue of black money. We want to crack down severely on tax evasion and black money. I had taken up this issue with world leaders during the G-20 summit."

"In our very first cabinet meeting, we formed an SIT. Then, we presented a new legislation in Parliament which is very stringent. We want to make it more difficult to evade taxes and siphon money abroad. We are also aggressively pursuing cases against those who have stashed funds illegally in foreign banks. Recently the names of some such persons have been revealed," he added.

The complete interview will be published on Rediff.com shortly.
