Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani on Friday announced that the National Democratic Alliance government had completed six years in power.

Addressing a press conference at a guest house of Raymonds in Yavatmal before beginning the 10th day of his Bharat Uday Yatra, the senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader expressed satisfaction with the achievements of the government and the path it has set India on.

India had entered the 21st Century with the burden of expectations after decades of despair and wasted opportunities. The NDA, he said, had infused fresh life and soul into the people, tapped the country's unrealised potential and got rid of the prevalent negative mindset.
