BJP supporters and BJP leaders have taken this notion that Congress has not done anything for the development of the nation in the last 67 years, has taken a propgandic proportions after Modi took over as PM. So today I would like to jog the memories of BJP leaders and supporters. They try to create an impression that in the last seven decades Congress did nothing, and in their speeches, they give an impression as if India has evolved as leading democratic power only in these last 4 years. And as if only Modi has to be credited for India's economic, financial and infrastructural development.
India got its freedom 3 years before Modiji was born. In 1948 immediately after partition, a war took place between Pakistan and India, and we won. About 500 princely states, including Hyderabad, got merged in the Indian Union, due to untiring efforts by Patel, Dy PM. Indian Constitution, one of the best in the world was prepared and executed W.E.F 26th Jan 1950. Indian Govt under Panditji had hosted Asian games in New Delhi in1951 (4th to11th March). Govt under Nehru introduced India’s first five-year plan which defined the model of centralised economic planning and Development. By the time Modiji was 2years Old, First general elections were held in1952. PM Nehru being a great visionary, he could establish Atomic Energy Establishment at Trombay on 3rd Jan1954, which was later renamed as Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. Several very important Public sector undertakings like Bharat petroleum, BEL, Hindustan Antibiotics, Hindustan shipyard were made operational, but unfortunately, now if you see many of the PSUs Navarathna companies are ready for privatisation and reasons for it, I want you to comprehend.
Indian Army once again moved into action to liberate Goa, from Portuguese, which was made a Union Territory in Indian Union. This was all done by the Congress government when Modi was not even 11 years old and a year later Pondicherry ruled by French, got merged in Indian Union. In1961 Govt Established, IIMs, in Calcutta, and Ahmedabad and Later IITs at Kharagpur, Bombay, Madras, Kanpur, and Delhi were established and they are all one of the world’s best Institutes, and you know these institutions and Dozens of Indian Universities, have produced top-notch professionals in few thousands since then. We have built BhakraDam on Sutlej, which was the third largest reservoir, and it was described as "New Temple Of Resurgent India” Rihand Dam In UP was also constructed which is India’s largest artificial lake.
When Modi was just 14, HAL was formed in 1964, which was a consortium of Hindustan Aircraft Ltd, and IAF Aircraft Manufacturing Depot, Kanpur, which has already started manufacturing Aircraft’s and Helicopters and if you remember, the same HAL was to be given the Rafale, but who snatched away, and how it happened, is anybody’s guess. Remember, when Modi was 15 years Old, India fought another war with Pakistan 1965, and Indian Army reached Lahore outskirts. Just for crossing the border we are doing a lot of chest thumping in the name of so-called surgical strikes now, and it was 65, our army reached Lahore. In1967, by the time Modiji was 17, the foundation for the Green Revolution was laid, farmers harvested the first crop of high-yielding wheat. From the era of hand to mouth we became self-sufficient, in production of wheat. If you remember it was Indira who released a special stamp in 1968. The Govt of India created ISRO in 1969 and in the same year, Indira nationalised 14 major scheduled commercial banks for the nation’s development, the same year Tarapur Atomic power station was made operational, which produced 210MW of power.
In 1971 we fought a 3rd war with Pakistan(Our Modiji must have been 21 years old), and Bangladesh was created as an Independent Nation.1974 Pokhran Nuclear tests were conducted much before our Modiji entered politics. We got our super computer and Application of Information Technology was completed, and when he became 41years, Narasimha Raoji As PM liberated the economy while Manmohansingh was FM then, who was made PM subsequently, in 2004-2014.
Much before Modi became PM Indian government took initiatives for “Chandrayan, Mangalyaan, GSLV, Mono-rail, Nuclear sub-marine, Agni missile, Chetak, Arjun tank, Sukhoi, Dhanesh, etc. Therefore, what I want to reiterate here is, that India as such a very powerful nation with a robust economy and with all this, it is proved beyond doubt, that lot of efforts have gone into building this great nation, now our great people will blame Nehru for anything and everything very unfairly, which really pains. I had to collect a lot of information, to answer those who say “kuch bhi nahi hua sattar sal me.” Even after all this history, which they may hesitate to read, as they think, it’s only surgical strikes that are great, they forget that our forces, are capable of attacking enemy at any point in time, because they do their job, but taking credit by ruling dispensation, was never done by either Nehru or Mrs. Gandhi. And infact credit was given to the forces only.
