Atmanirbhar Bharat isn't exclusivist India: Union Minister

HYDERABAD:'Atmanirbhar Bharat' is not an exclusivist India, but about a self-reliant India and being attached with the world, said senior BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar on Saturday.
Delivering a talk on 'Towards Building Atmanirbhar Bharat- the Role of Graduates' organised by here by the party's Telangana unit, the Information and Broadcasting Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi is inviting all from the world to invest in India, manufacture in India and sell with pride as 'Made in India.' This is the vision of ''Atmanirbhar Bharat,'' he said.

"It is not about isolation. It is not Indias thinking," he further said. ''Atmanirbhar Bharat'' is a self-reliant India and being attached with the world, he said adding ''Atmanirbhar Bharat'' is about more exports and less imports.

Javadekar said no corruption charges have been levelled against a single Minister in the Narendra Modi government "It is seven years of our government being in place. There has not been a single corruption allegation against any one Minister and we have made it possible and this is what people wanted," Javadekar said.

He further said under the previous UPA dispensation, there were news on bomb explosions in different states. There is no such news (of bomb explosions) in the last seven years (under BJP), he said adding the middle-class wants law and order and peace only then progress can happen.

He said the Modi government has launched several welfare schemes and they have been benefiting all sections of society. He expressed hope that prices of petroleum would come down.
