Asserting that the Modi government had infused hope across all sectors with its "decisive" rule, BJP President Amit Shah today said it had laid a strong foundation in its two years and will fulfil all its promises before the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.


"In two years it has laid a strong foundation. In next three years a strong building of development will be raised. I am sure when we go the people again for votes in 2019, we would have fulfilled all our promises," he said.

Presenting the government's two-year report card at a press conference here, Shah also pitched the party's "good" performance in the Assembly polls as the people's mandate on rows over Rohith Vemula suicide and JNU issue and took on Congress, saying those who raised them are "nowhere". Asked if the party had decided to put a stop to controversial issues like ones seen weeks ago over Rohith Vehumla's death and the JNU incident, he said, "People have already done it".

He noted that the assembly polls were held in the wake of these rows and targeted Congress. "Those who raised these issues are nowhere," he said, a reference to its poor show. Referring to a number of assembly polls the party fought under him since it came to power, Shah said people put their stamp of approval on the central government's performance whenever they got a chance as he noted that it formed governments in five states for the first time and preformed better than earlier everywhere.

The Modi government had infused hope across all sectors after, he alleged, the UPA's 10-year-rule left behind empty treasury, policy paralysis, demoralised bureaucracy, despondent masses and a state of hopelessness.

The government has struck a balance between reforms and public welfare and got success, he said. He cited a string of figures, including the highest ever urea and power production, highways construction, FDI inflow, forex reserve in 2015-16, besides pro-poor and farmers schemes to underline his point. Starting tomorrow, 30 BJP teams, comprising ministers and party office-bearers, will travel across more than 200 destinations to hold events to publicise the government's "achievements".
