There was immense distrust in the Congress government. The then UPA government had become a symbol of corruption and misgovernance. India’s credibility in the global order was weakening steadily. In that situation, people trusted me and elected himto serve them. In 2014, the NDA government was formed, marking the first time in three decades that a party won an absolute majority.”
