Kevadia: 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday virtually addressed a joint conference of the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) at Kevadia in Gujarat, and claimed the previous government lacked the will to tackle corruption.

The PM said that after hard work in the last six to seven years, his government has managed to instil faith among people that it is plausible to fight corruption and that they will be benefitted from several government schemes.

He also underlined that there should be no safe havens anywhere in the world for such people, who commit crimes against any country and its people.

“In the last six-seven years, we have been able to establish faith among people that it is possible to stop corruption in the country. People of the country have faith today that they will get benefits from government schemes without any middlemen,” said the PM. 

“Corruption, big or small, takes away the rights of common people. It is a hindrance in the progress of the country and affects our collective energy,” he added.
