Here are the 10 big developments in this story:
- Mr Shah trashed the Congress-led UPA government that preceded the Narendra Modi government at the Centre, as he listed the latter's achievements in the last one year.
- "This is a visible government, the earlier the government needed to be found," Mr Shah said, and also, "This government has restored the pride of the Prime Minister's Office." In the Congress regime, the BJP chief alleged, "The PM was no PM."
- Mr Shah counted the "rooting out of corruption," an uplift of the economy and strengthening of the federal structure as key achievements of the Modi government in its first year. "Modiji has put forth a new idea of team India where the Centre and the states are part of the same team," he said.
- Mr Shah's press conference is part of a massive outreach that the BJP has planned to showcase its governments achievements. Ministers and top leaders will address rallies and press conferences in many cities all this week.
- Over the next one month, 350 specially designed mobile vans will tour all 643 districts of the country to showcase the government's initiatives through audio-visual clips.
