1. Foundation for a transparent economy

The BJP led Central Government has delivered on its promise made to the people regarding corruption & black money. In this context, the overwhelming public support for demonetization needs to be underscored.

This one major decision has broken the backbone of the black market as well as the black money hoarders. This one major decision has secured unprecedented success in paving the way for strengthening the foundations of a transparent economy, it has also paved the way for honest. Digital cash transfer for schemes such as MNREGA, Gas Subsidies, scholarships, pensions & other social welfare schemes has facilitated transparency in the lives of the beneficiaries. This systemic transformation has led to huge rise in the income tax payers base in the country. Volume of the digital transactions has multiplied, circulation of the high denomination currency notes has reduced considerably.

Central government policies have brought rewards for honesty iin public life, the government deserves rich compliments for bringing in a transparent economic system.

2. GST : One Nation – One Tax

The longstanding demand of the country for “One Nation-One Tax” has been fulfilled by the BJP led government at the Centre.

After demonetization, this is the second historic step in the direction of reforms in the indirect taxes regime. Implementation of GST has increased ease of doing business in the country by resolving the problems faced by the trader community. Besides bringing in ease of business, the burden of taxes on items of day to day use has been considerably reduced. The Government is consistently resolving the difficulties being faced by the people and the traders during the initial period of the implementation of this tax. It is a historic achievement of the central government to take into confidence all the state governments in the true spirit of federalism while implementing the GST. A system of monthly meetings of the GST Council to take people friendly progressive decisions have been put in place. The National Executive wishes to thank Hon’ble Prime Minister & Hon’ble Finance Minister for this great achievement.

3. Tough Stand against Terrorism & Separatism

Right from the beginning, the Central government led by Shri Narendra Modi has adopted the tough policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism & separatism. Following this policy, the government has taken tough measures in tackling the terrorists & their supporters, the recent actions taken against terrorism along the borders of the country are evident to everyone. In last 6 months, many terrorists have been neutralized, which has led to downfall of the morale of terror establishment. The exemplrary sensitivity demonstrated by security forces worth mention and deserves compliment. People of Jammu & Kashmir have also appreciated the work of the government. Hon’ble Prime Minister has given priority to flood relief and developmental schemes in Jammu & Kashmir. The announcement of Rupees 80 Thousand Crore development package, 2 AIIMS, IIM, IIT, 5 medical colleges & an engineering college for Jammu and Kashmir will give an impetus to fast development of the state. These schemes have led to confidence building in Jammu & Kashmir.

It has achieved a remarkable balancing act between showing no mercy to terrorists while displaying a marked degree of sensitivity towards the common people of the state who are being used by the terrorist forces.

The consistent efforts of the Hon’ble Prime Minister in highlighting the dangers of terrorism on the global platform have had a tremendous impact.
The continuous efforts of the government in taking strict action against sources of foreign funding & hawala traders in aid of separatists is commendable. The actions of the current government have confirmed to the common citizen that this government is willing to take tough measures against terrorism. Simultaneously, the government has been working tirelessly on the development aspect.

The government has given the prominent message of doubling the income of the farmers right up to the grass root level. Schemes like Soil Health card & Crop insurance have successfully improved the agricultural production and brought down the inherent uncertainties in the farming sector. To ensure comprehensive coverage of maximum farmers in distress, the government has kept Crop Insurance premiums very low and more drought prone areas have been covered. Started in 2015, the Prime Minister’s Irrigation scheme has a mandate to invest over 50 thousand crores in five years. The schemes for basic infrastructure in rural areas by the government have improved the lives of farmers.

It is significant that both leaders have reiterated their stand at Astana, Kazakhstan that Good relations between India & China are important for maintaining World Peace.

It is the success of Government’s foreign policy that terrorism was at the forefront in the Resolution passed at BRICS summit 2017. The resolution has named & shamed several active dreaded terrorist’s organizations like Lashkar e Taiba, Jaish e Mohammad, Taliban & Haqqani network active in our neighborhood.

National Executive welcomes the assurance given by the Prime Minister to the public to keep the ideological violence & narrow-mindedness in check.
The violence against our Karyakartas by opposition party workers in Tripura, Kerala & West Bengal is disheartening & against the democratic ethos of the nation.

In this direction there was long pending demand for the constitutional recognistion of Socially & educationally backward classes. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi took up this matter with all seriousness and decided to extend the constitutional status to the OBC commission. The constitutional amendment bill was passed by Lok Sabha, but due to obstructionist behaviour of Congress in Rajya Sabha, it could not become a reality. BJP is committed in getting constitutional status to OBC Commission and also condemns Congress for taking Anti-OBC stand in Rajya Sabha.

To strengthen the party base of the Bharatiya Janata Party at booth level, these vistaraks were commissioned to encourage people from across society to join the party, booth committee formation and converting 6 booth level activities into permanent features.
