'PM ended politics of nepotism': HM Shah at launch of book ‘Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery’

At the launch event of book 'Modi@20: Dreams Meet Delivery' in Odisha on August 8, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said politics of the country was afflicted by three factors and  "a gap started to arise between many sections of society" due to "appeasement".

While addressing the audience at the book launch event in Bhubaneswar,  Union Home Minister Amit Shah said, “The politics of the country was afflicted by three factors. Because of nepotism, no matter how much capacity someone had, he never got a chance. Due to appeasement, a gap started to arise between many sections of society.”

Amit Shah further said, “Due to corruption, the economy of the society and the campaigns for social welfare were becoming hollow. In these 20 years, Modi Ji has done the work of ending nepotism from within democracy.”

Further, Amit Shah lauded Prime Minister Narendra Modi and stated that the Prime Minister has brought politics of performance in India, where politics of nepotism was a dominant practice for years.

Shah said the book Modi@20 depicts how PM Modi strengthened the democracy of this country for 20 years. 

Amit Shah added, “As soon as Modi took over as the Prime Minister of the country, he worked to find solutions to the country's problems and successfully established the country's pride in the whole world, that saga is Modi@ 20.”
