“Prime Minister Narendra Modi has brought many reforms in the four-and-a-half year of his rule. This is really unprecedented. One must have guts to bring about such reforms in such a short span,” Shah said while inaugurating the book ‘Narendra Modi: Creative Disruptor, The Maker of New India’, authored by veteran journalist and BJP ideologue R Balashankar. “Earlier, one needed 30 years to find out the five reforms. But, I can list 30 reforms brought by PM Modi during his span of five years,” Shah said.

“The Modi government had inherited a very weak Indian economy from the Congress government. The economic parameters were at their abysmal low. But in just four-and-a-half years, the economy turned around,” the BJP president said.
