Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has said that the Modi government's overall emphasis is on faster decision, bolder decisions, cleaner economy, freedom from black money, freedom from corruption and a friendly environment for doing business, the returns of which can be spent on the poor of this country.
Jaitley has stated that during the UPA rule, the major problem was that its Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was not a natural leader of the ruling party or the government that committed two fundamental mistakes in its approach, one in terms of policy and the second in terms of its intention. However, he said that they have now someone who is enthusiastic to take bold decisions in the form of Narendra Modi.
Asserting that after the Modi government came to power, changes were visible in the last two-and- half years as compared to the last 10 years, Finance Minister has said that the first change is that the Prime Minister must also be the natural leader of the country or be the natural leader of the ruling party of the government. He further said that the UPA Prime Minister did not have the last word as far as the government was concerned. He added that countries need an inspirational leadership which leads from the front.
Talking about steps taken towards ease of doing business in India, the Minister said that every move of the government has been to have a convenient environment for business activity. Listing out government's developmental steps, he said that demonetisation has been a big blow to black money and corruption. Supporting a less cash society, he said that cash is the facilitator of crime and he added that quantum of bribery and other things will come down. Jaitley has also noted that electoral reform was possible only because the Prime Minister has been stressing on cleaning up political funding of the world's largest democracy, where funding was only through black money.
