BJP is govt of delivery, others just of speeches: Jaishankar on 9 years of Modi govt

New Delhi [India], July 3 : Emphasising that 'delivery' is the most important part of development, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said that while Bharatiya Janata Party is the "government of delivery", others are just "government of speeches".

Speaking to the reporters, Jaishankar said, "Real changes are taking place under the leadership of PM Modi. Development does not mean just laying a foundation stone and forgetting about it. People should be getting its benefits. And people know about the delivery, because the whole development process can be summed up in word 'delivery'".
