THE last nine years have witnessed decisive policies, political stability, democracy and teamwork in the federal structure that led the country out of the “policy paralysis” from 2004 to 2014, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Friday. Addressing the 118th Annual Session of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, he said the period of 2004 to 2014 “shook the country”, which was also the “last period” of political instability. The last nine years have seen the result of performance. The country’s economy has also got a new direction under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Shah said. “The last nine years have been that of political stability and decisive policy-making... Our GDP has grown from USD 2.03 trillion to USD 3.75 trillion during the period, which is almost double. Per capita income has grown from Rs 68,000 in 2013-14... To Rs 1.80 lakh,” he said.

  

Shah said PM Modi has tried to change India in every field in the last nine years and has also been successful. After successfully organising the G20 Summit, a new energy has been infused not only in trade and industries but also in every sector of the country and all people are experiencing a new momentum, the Union home minister said. He said trade and industries are the centre of the country’s economy, from where it gets energy. “Due to the changes brought about by policies, today ‘India’s Moment’ is talked about everywhere and India is known as a vibrant spot all over the world,” he said.

  

Shah said whenever a company wants to shift base around the world, India emerges as the bright spot to relocate. The success of Chandrayaan-3, Mission Aditya L-1 and the passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill, all these events have filled the country with new energy... The country has completed the journey of 75 years and in the past 75 years, we have made several achievements in every sector... We have proved ourselves at the international forum,” Shah said.
