New Delhi: Lashing out at the previous United Progressive Alliance government, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that extra-Constitutional authorities were "really wielding" power in UPA. He also rejected the criticism of concentration of power in the Prime Minister's Office saying that the PM and the PMO are "very much part of the
constitutional scheme, not outside it".
Taking a jibe at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi calling the Central government 'suit-boot ki sarkar', Modi said that the Congress has not been able to digest its crushing defeat in Lok Sabha polls even after a year.
He also assured the people that passage of the Goods and Services Tax and (GST) and the proposed Land Acquisition laws is only a matter of time. "Any suggestions on land bill favouring the poor, the farmer and villages will be accepted by the government," Modi said.
Speaking on religious intolerance, he assured that violence or discrimination against any community is not acceptable.
He also added that the Opposition is levelling baseless allegations about his foreign trips. "Our focus is be on pro-active, pro-people good governance reforms," he said.
