Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in an exclusive chat with Network18 Group Editor-in-Chief Rahul Joshi, said that no Indian Prime Minister has managed “as many feats for the country as Narendra Modi ji in a decade”. Shah said that PM Narendra Modi has increased the pride that every citizen feels for India.
Shah said that the PM made the political slogan of ‘garibi hatao’ a ground reality. “Modi ji has changed both the size and the scale of the country’s economy. He transformed the political slogan of ‘garibi hatao’ into reality on ground,” said Shah.

The Home Minister said that bringing 25 crore people out of poverty is “huge”. “We have given 60 crore people toilets, electricity, cooking gas cylinders in households, 5 kg of food grains per person per month for free, providing treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, delivering clean drinking water to homes. In 11 years, raising the standard of living of 60 crore people, for which they have been waiting for generations, is a major achievement,” said Shah.
“Modernising the armed forces, making the country secure, realising the dream of Make in India, moving the nation from eleventh place to the fourth place in the global economy, to fix a goal for 2047 to make India a great nation, with the highest position in the world, to awaken such resolve in 140 crore people is a great achievement. History will analyse this, but I believe no Indian PM has managed such feats in a decade. I may have missed many things, be it the education policy, or implanting spine in foreign policy, Modi ji has increased the pride that every citizen feels and made their heads higher,” said Shah.
When asked if PM Modi reminded him of any other leader, Shah said, “If we talk of achievements, most have come in Modi ji’s time.”
