“Socio-economic spectrum led to the crumbling of the age-old vices of casteism, appeasement, and dynastic rule. This is one of India’s biggest achievements in the last nine years. Earlier policies were made on the basis of caste, opportunities were handed out on dynastic considerations and budget allocations were made to appease. PM Modi ended these vices and this was a big paradigm shift for India,” Union Home Minister Amit Shah said on Thursday. “We never took decisions to please people but we did take decisions that were good for people,” he added.
