Local MP Kangana Ranaut today claimed that it was Prime Minister Narinder Modi, who had rewritten the history of India to change the face of the nation in the past 10 years of the NDA regime. She was speaking at a function “Honouring Vishwakarma in New India” organised at the ITI here today.

Kangana said that the Prime Minister was known to be the architect of modern India. “There is no second thought that if anyone is re-scripting history it is Prime Minister Modi, who in the past 10 years has changed the face of the nation. Modi has led India from having an uncertain future to being a flourishing economy,” she added.

She said that the Prime Minister was concerned about the uplift and progress of every section of society to ensure all round development. “The Prime Minister understood the plight of the Vishwakarma community and took initiatives like giving them an identity and extending the benefits of various schemes to them,” she added.

The Mandi MP said that Indian craftsmen had created some of the best architectural marvels in the world for which the Mughals and the British chopped off their hands. “The entire world is researching as to how the Kailash temple in Maharashtra was made. People still cannot believe how craftsmen could have created such a grand temple out of one stone,” she added.

She said, “The Prime Minister understands the talent of this community, which comprises master artisans, and efforts are being made to use modern technology like digitisation to benefit them and promote their talent, which is on the verge of extinction.” She added that several handicrafts like Chamba Rumal, Kangra miniature paintings and many other art forms were there in Himachal, which must also be promoted.

Kangana said that three ministries had been set up to provide easy loans for the Vishwakarma community so that it could purchase modern equipment. “The Prime Minister wants that his birthday should be remembered as the day for Vishwakarmas,” she claimed.
