Ahmedabad: A day after showing triumph through an open letter on Supreme Court's order on the 2002 riots, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday welcomed the US panel report praising him for effective governance and impressive development in the state, saying it was another recognition for six crore Gujaratis.
"Another recognition for 6 crore Gujaratis. US report hails Gujarat's effective governance. Jay Jay Garvi Guj (hail Gujarat!)," Modi said on Twitter.
Earlier, an independent and bipartisan wing of the US Congress, CRS, showered praise on Chief Minister Narendra Modi and said that the state under him has become a key driver of national economic growth.
"Perhaps India's best example of effective governance and impressive development is found in Gujarat, where controversial Chief Minister Narendra Modi has streamlined economic processes, removing red tape and curtailing corruption in ways that have made the state a key driver of national economic growth," said the CRS report.
The 94-page report was released by the CRS for US lawmakers on September 1, a copy of which made public by the Federation of American Scientists.
"Seeking to overcome the taint of his alleged complicity in 2002 riots, Modi has overseen heavy investment in modern roads and power infrastructure, and annual growth of more than 11 per cent in recent years," the CRS said.
Gujarat, the CRS said, has attracted major international investors such as General Motors and Mitsubishi and with only five per cent of the country's population, the state now accounts for more than one-fifth of India's exports, it said.
