We launched a nationwide campaign for a drug-free India. From 2004 to 2014, the Congress was in power; in those 10 years, 26 lakh kilograms of narcotics were seized nationwide. Then came Modi ji's government; between 2014 and 2024, PM Modi's government seized Rs 1.2 crore kilograms of drugs. The Congress party had seized narcotics worth Rs 40,000 crore; in contrast, the BJP seized drugs worth Rs 1,90,000 crore," Shah said.
