Modi Governance model citizen-centric, not voter-centric: Dr Jitendra

New Delhi, Jan 29: Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh on Sunday said that the hallmark of Modi governance model is that it is citizen-centric, not voter-centric.
He said the distinguishing features of this model are courage of conviction to move beyond status quo, capacity to break the taboos of the past and firm decisiveness preceded by due diligence and research. The minister said this while talking to a private news channel.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, PM Modi has the capacity to go beyond status quo after doing due diligence and due study, capacity to take and execute decisions within a fixed timeline.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, Modi provided a Governance Model first in Gujarat as Chief Minister and then as Prime Minister, which is a sustainable Model of Governance and also a model which defies the principle of diminishing returns and which became stronger with every challenge like the earthquake when he was CM and pandemic when he is PM.
In reply to a question, Dr Singh said, the undertone of all the welfare schemes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the last over 8 and half years is that he is trying to change the political culture, where citizen-centric or people-centric measures rather than voter-centric decisions were being taken, which all political parties have to emulate.
The Minister said, Modi is trying to reach out to the last man in the queue in the true spirit of Antyodaya without any consideration of caste, creed, religion or vote bank consideration.
On the question of Bharat Jodo Yatra, Dr Jitendra Singh said, this government does not follow the practice of stopping Yatras as was being done by successive Congress governments.
He recalled that in 1953, Syama Prasad Mukherji was illegally detained, when he was trying to enter Jammu and Kashmir and after a brief detention he died in a mysterious circumstance. “Again in 1992, Modi was the key organizer of the BJP’s Ekta Yatra under leadership of Dr Mulrli Manohar Joshi, when they unfurled the Indian flag Tricolour at Srinagar’s Lal Chowk”.
The Minister recalled that in 2011, top BJP leaders Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and Ananth Kumar were arrested on entry into Jammu and Kashmir .
