Mangalore Today News Network

New Delhi, May 26, 2015:  In an open letter to the people of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the last year has been characterised by full transparency, quick reforms and strengthening of our federal structure. The letter, which was put as an ad in newspapers today, the PM said now the world is optimistic about India and is enthusiastic about exploring the opportunities India has to offer.

"One year ago, you had entrusted me with the responsibility and honour of serving you as your Pradhan Sevak . I have devoted every moment of every day, and every element of my body and spirit, in fulfilling the same with fullest sincerity and honesty," said PM Modi .

"We assumed office at a time when confidence in the India story was waning. Un-abated corruption and indecisiveness had paralyzed the government. People had been left helpless against ever climbing inflation and economic insecurity. Urgent and decisive action was needed."

"The languishing economy was rejuvenated, building on stable, policy-driven proactive governance. Discretionary allotment of our precious natural resources to a chosen few was replaced with transparent auctions," the letter further says.

On the issue of corruption and black money the letter says, "Firm steps were taken against Black Money, from setting up a SIT and passing a stringent black money law, to generating international consensus against the same. Uncompromising adherence to the principle of purity, in action as well as intent, ensured a corruption-free government. Significant changes have been brought about in work culture, nurturing a combination of empathy as well as professionalism, systems as well breaking of silos."

Narendra Modi, who took charge as the country’s prime minister on May 26, 2014, completes one year in power today. In the series of tweets today, Modi appealed people of the country to share their views on twitter about the government’s performance in the last one year.
