Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has not worked by keeping vote bank in mind but what is good for the country.
Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Wednesday said the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been in an 'attacking mode' since 2014 and the party will contest the 2019 General Elections with the same vigour.
Speaking at Zee Media's India ka DNA Conclave 2019, Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has not worked by keeping vote bank in mind but what is good for the country.
"We have been in attacking mode since 2014 and will be in the same mode till 2019. We have not worked keeping vote bank in mind, we will do everything for the country," he said.
The Olympian-turned-politician said that the NDA government has directly communicated with people and has presented its report card before the country time to time.
Our ministers have always connected with the people and kept in touch with them, he said.
"Delivery and the ability to govern is very high in PM Modi's team. Our government gives a presentation of our report card to the media, as an MP too, we give a report card to our constituency. We may have shortcomings, but our intention is right," he said.
The Minister of State, who also holds independent charge of Information & Broadcasting, said, "As we move towards 2019 polls, we know the attack on us will increase. We will give an assessment of our work with facts and figures. We have taken on new challenges like providing electrification to all. The opposition will do everything to undermine us, the dialogue of the opposition is general, they never keep it specific."
Rathore said the atmosphere before 2014 was frustrating for the common man in terms of leadership. He asked people to keep in mind the atmosphere before 2014 before voting in 2019.
"The atmosphere before 2014 was frustrating for the common man. If you have forgotten how it was 2014, you need to search Google and look for the kind of reports being published," he said.
Now Indian tourists and companies that go out of the country get much more respect because of Prime Minister Modi's leadership, the Union Minister said.
When asked about the difference between working in the Army, in sports and in politics, Rathore said that all ministers in Modi government have to be on their toes.
"Many people say that working in some places is tough, but they should work in PM Modi's team," the minister said.
