Noida (UP): The Narendra Modi government has worked for national security, country's development and public welfare during its tenure, Union Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Sunday. Addressing a 'Vijay Sankalp Sabha' (victory pledge meeting) of the BJP here ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, Swaraj also listed out the achievements of Cabinet colleague and party's Gautam Buddh Nagar candidate Mahesh Sharma.

"There is a principle of accountability in a democracy. It means, when you first reach out to people for votes, you make some promises to them. When you reach out to them again, you give them an account of your promises," the external affairs minister said. Swaraj said to evaluate the work of any government, one should look at its commitment towards three important aspects -- national security, country's development and public welfare. "On all these three accounts, I would say, our government has proved itself and these are the factors by which voters judge any government," she said.
