Giving thumbs up to the BJP-NDA government, IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said that in four years of his government, not a single loan turned into NPA. 

Ravi Shankar Prasad was speaking at the Zee India Conclave in New Delhi. 

Talking about the anti-corruption drive of the Modi government, Prasad also said that in today's time nobody could think now offering a bribe to any government officer. 

He also said the government felt the verdict on 2G was wrong and it would appeal against it. 

To question that BJP cheated TDP after promising to give special status to Andhra Pradesh, Prasad said, "There were no issues with PM Modi, with BJP. The dispute was only about the special status. We said that we will give you special assistance for the development of Andhra Pradesh but they decided to severe ties. We will still stick to our promise to give special assistance to Andhra Pradesh."

Defending the Modi government, the minister said that the BJP never used Ram Mandir issue to win any elections and now is confident of staying in power in 2019 lok sabha polls. 

Earlier joining the event, Uttar Pradesh's former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in an exclusive comversation with Zee News Editor-in-Chief Sudhir Choudhary appeared to be quite happy with newfound bonhomie with BSP and Mayawati.

He said in a video interaction at the Zee India Conclave: “I have always respected her like bua, the relations are much better now. We will visit mandir, masjid and all religious places to maintain our alliance with Mayawati.”

Yadav also said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has done nothing for the development of the state and the people have taught the ruling party a lesson. He said: “The people are asking the BJP today what is it that they have done for them. Be it demonetisation or GST implementation, there is nothing that they have done for the development of the people.”

Questioned about the Noida jinx he said: "I did a lot of work for Noida when SP was in power in the state. Will visit Noida before the elections to see how those plans have been implemented. Whether or not I will visit after becoming the Chief Minister is something that can be decided later.”
