Everyone can make promises to people but the Modi government's "strong point" is that it delivers services and projects in a given timeframe, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar said on June 17.

Mr. Jaishankar was speaking during a function held at Badarpur as part of the BJP’s mega outreach campaign, ‘Sampark se Samarthan’, to mark the completion of the nine years of the Narendra Modi’s government.

"After elections, they forget [the promises made to the people] but in Modi 'sarkar', people today are seeing the delivery [of services and projects]," the Union Minister told reporters after attending the function at the site of an Eco Park being developed at NTPC's (National Thermal Power Corporation Limited) thermal power plant area in Badarpur.

The Eco Park project is currently underway, and South Delhi MP and BJP leader Ramesh Bidhuri said the park is planned to be inaugurated in December.

Mr. Jaishankar praised the NTPC for the project and the party MP and other local leadership for working on such a green project.

"This Eco Park will become a new lung of Delhi. I congratulate all who are part of this project, and it will not only help in mitigating pollution, but enhance ease of living of people and ease of doing business too by promoting economic activities around it. Modi 'sarkar' doesn't just offer promises. It completes what work it starts in a given timeframe, and delivers it, shows it to people," he said.

Later, interacting with the media, the Union Minister said, the "strong point" of the Modi government is "delivery", as everyone can make promises.
