मुंबई: गृह मंत्री राजनाथ सिंह ने कहा कि पूर्वोत्तर में उग्रवाद को काबू करना गृह मंत्री के तौर पर उनकी सबसे बड़ी उपलब्धि है.

गृह मंत्री ने कहा ने कहा कि 'मोदी जी ने पिछले पांच साल में जिस प्रकार राष्ट्रीय एवं अंतरराष्ट्रीय स्तर पर देश का नेतृत्व किया है. उसे देखकर इस बात को लेकर कतई शक नहीं है कि इस चुनाव में हम तीन-चौथाई बहुमत से जीतेंगे.'

सिंह ने कहा कि गृह मंत्री के तौर पर उन्होंने देश के कई हिस्सों में नक्सलवाद और पूर्वोत्तर में उग्रवाद को काबू करने की दिशा में काम किया.

उन्होंने कहा कि हम 1971 के बाद से सबसे बेहतर स्थिति में हैं, जब नक्सलियों की तुलना में सुरक्षाकर्मी अधिक मारे जाते थे. राजनाथ सिंह ने कहा कि अब हालात बदल गए हैं. पहले नक्सली 126 जिलों में सक्रिय थे और अब उनकी गतिविधियां केवल छह या सात जिलों में सीमित रह गई हैं.

साथ ही उन्होनें पूर्वोत्तर में उग्रवाद को पूरी तरह से खत्म करने की आशा भी जताई.

Curbing insurgency in Northeast my biggest achievement as home minister: Rajnath
(Eds: With additional inputs)
Mumbai, Apr 26 (PTI) Curbing insurgency in the Northeast has been his biggest achievement as home minister, according to Rajnath Singh who says Naxal violence in the country is also on the wane.
The Union home minister asserts that BJP will come back to power with a thumping majority as people want the good governance of the Narendra Modi dispensation to continue.
"The way Modiji has led the country at national and international levels in the last five years, there is not an iota of doubt about our win with three-fourths majority in these polls," he claims.
Singh says as home minister, he worked, among other things, towards curbing insurgency in the Northeast and Naxalism in parts of the country.
"Insurgency in Northeast is almost finished," he told PTI in an interview.
On Naxalism, he says, "We are now in the most favourable position since 1971, when more security personnel used to get killed than Naxals. Now the trend has reversed... Our security forces have been giving a befitting reply and eliminating Naxals."
Earlier Naxals operated in 126 districts, but now their activities are limited to just six-seven districts, he says.
"We are quite sure that in coming days, we will root them out. The elimination of insurgency in the Northeast has been my biggest achievement as home minister...even beyond my expectations," the former chief minister of Uttar Pradesh says.
He also says that as home minister, he made maximum number of visits to Jammu and Kashmir and tried to find a long-term solution to the region's problems, though it could not yield the desired results.
"Now, time has come to review articles 35A and 370 of the Constitution (providing special status and rights to the state and its citizens) and assess what Jammu and Kashmir got and what it lost due to these two provisions," he says.
"My ministry also revoked the registration of 20,000 organisations which used to get money from overseas, under the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, and were involved in activities which were not in the interest of our country," he says.
Singh, who is contesting Lok Sabha polls from Lucknow, says he does not believe that Modi's persona is overshadowing the work of other lawmakers and ministers.
"Whatever ministers or MPs do, they do it after getting the team leader's consent, it is but natural. All policy decisions are taken under the chairmanship of the prime minister. So, saying that the work of other ministers or MPs is overshadowed is not right," he says.
"People are smart enough and politically aware. They have their own parameters to gauge public representatives' records and performances," he adds.
To a query why the BJP's campaign has no mention of demonetisation and GST, Singh, who headed the party's manifesto committee, says they are no longer poll issues.
"Their (positive and expected) results have started surfacing. GST has been simplified several times and we have made it abundantly clear that whenever there is a need, we will come up with more simplifications so that the business class does not suffer," he says.
Asked why the BJP has 'imported' candidates from outside the party, like Bhojpuri film actors Nirahua and Ravi Kishan, Bollywood star Sunny Deol and Pragya Thakur, he says it shows the party's "inclusive and pluralistic" character.
"Let me clarify that the BJP's core cadre is quite strong and we have no dearth of candidates. But there are some people in every society who have a large fan following and have some intrinsic political acumen.
"When we get these people in our party, they become an integral part of the BJP family and by this way, our party becomes more inclusive and pluralistic," he reasons.
Asked about the BJP fielded only a few Muslim candidates, he says though he was not in a position to tell the exact number, but the party has given tickets to members from the community.
"We are very careful about our core principal - 'Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas'. Unfortunately, the opposition parties are unsuccessfully trying to create a fear factor. But we have built a sense of confidence and I am quite sure that we will get their (Muslims) bigger support this time than what we got in the previous Lok Sabha election," he claims.
Singh says North Indians living in Maharashtra always supported the BJP ever since this party came to existence.
He also dubs the BJP-Shiv Sena alliance as an "unbreakable bond".
"The coming together of two parties with same nationalist ideology is very rare. But this is possible only here in Maharashtra. Though we had some differences, but they have been resolved. The BJP-Shiv Sena have an unbreakable bond and we have proved it," he adds. PTI APM GK
