&lt;em&gt;The prime minister&amp;rsquo;s Independence Day speech was more of a laundry list of achievements, with few new announcements. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;rsquo;s speech on Tuesday was not only his shortest Independence Day address so far, it also had little by way of major announcements. Aside from a few one-liners calling for Indians to change their attitudes and for a different approach to Kashmir, Modi&amp;rsquo;s annual speech from the Red Fort was more of a laundry list of achievements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Excerpts from the speech below feature a number of claims made by the Prime Minister about the achievements of his government over the last three years. Scroll.in checked to find if the claims are backed up by primary data. Read the entire speech here.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Development&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* Claim: &amp;ldquo;The success of GST [Goods and Services Tax] can be attributed to the hard work that has been put in to make it a success. Technology has made it look like a miracle. The global community is surprised how we were able to roll out GST in such a short time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check: Not a miracle but quite an achievement following the efforts of several Union governments collectively. India has taken 17 years to launch the indirect tax regime. It is difficult to make comparisons with other countries about the speed at which the Goods and Services Tax was instituted. The nearest fit would be the case of harmonising indirect taxes across member states of the European Union. It had a principle idea in place in 1963. But a harmonised indirect tax regime was first talked of formally in 1985 and then finalised by 2006. That is 21 years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Claim: &amp;ldquo;New systems are emerging. Today roads are being built at twice the speed.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Check: False. The prime minister did not say what periods he was comparing with. Data of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation shows that since 2001, the roads were built at the highest speed in 2012-&amp;rsquo;13. This includes, national and state highways, rural and urban roads.&lt;br /&gt;

Aside from a few one-liners calling for Indians to change their attitudes and for a different approach to Kashmir, Modi&amp;rsquo;s annual speech from the Red Fort was more of a laundry list of achievements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excerpts from the speech below feature a number of claims made by the Prime Minister about the achievements of his government over the last three years.

Technology has made it look like a miracle. The global community is surprised how we were able to roll out GST in such a short time.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check: Not a miracle but quite an achievement following the efforts of several Union governments collectively. India has taken 17 years to launch the indirect tax regime. It is difficult to make comparisons with other countries about the speed at which the Goods and Services Tax was instituted. The nearest fit would be the case of harmonising indirect taxes across member states of the European Union. It had a principle idea in place in 1963. But a harmonised indirect tax regime was first talked of formally in 1985 and then finalised by 2006. That is 21 years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Claim: &amp;ldquo;New systems are emerging. Today roads are being built at twice the speed.&amp;rdquo;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Check: False. The prime minister did not say what periods he was comparing with. Data of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation shows that since 2001, the roads were built at the highest speed in 2012-&amp;rsquo;13.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi&amp;rsquo;s speech on Tuesday was not only his shortest Independence Day address so far, it also had little by way of major announcements.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi&rsquo;s speech on Tuesday was not only his shortest Independence Day address so far, it also had little by way of major announcements. Aside from a few one-liners calling for Indians to change their attitudes and for a different approach to Kashmir, Modi&rsquo;s annual speech from the Red Fort was more of a laundry list of achievements.<br />
<br />
Excerpts from the speech below feature a number of claims made by the Prime Minister about the achievements of his government over the last three years. Scroll.in checked to find if the claims are backed up by primary data. Read the entire speech here.<br />

<br />
Check: Not a miracle but quite an achievement following the efforts of several Union governments collectively. India has taken 17 years to launch the indirect tax regime. It is difficult to make comparisons with other countries about the speed at which the Goods and Services Tax was instituted. The nearest fit would be the case of harmonising indirect taxes across member states of the European Union. It had a principle idea in place in 1963. But a harmonised indirect tax regime was first talked of formally in 1985 and then finalised by 2006. That is 21 years.<br />

* Claim: &ldquo;New systems are emerging. Today roads are being built at twice the speed.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
Check: False. The prime minister did not say what periods he was comparing with. Data of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation shows that since 2001, the roads were built at the highest speed in 2012-&rsquo;13.

Fact check: From LPG subsidies to maternity leave, comparing Modi's I-Day claims with the data -Nitin Sethi & Nayantara Narayanan

-Scroll.in The prime minister’s Independence Day speech was more of a laundry list of achievements, with few new announcements. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech on Tuesday was not only his shortest Independence Day address so far, it also had little by way of major announcements. Aside from a few one-liners calling for Indians to change their attitudes and for a different approach to Kashmir, Modi’s annual speech from the Red Fort was more of a laundry list of achievements. Excerpts from the speech below feature a number of claims made by the Prime Minister about the achievements of his government over the last three years. Scroll.in checked to find if the claims are backed up by primary data. Read the entire speech here. Development * Claim: “The success of GST [Goods and Services Tax] can be attributed to the hard work that has been put in to make it a success. Technology has made it look like a miracle. The global community is surprised how we were able to roll out GST in such a short time.” Check: Not a miracle but quite an achievement following the efforts of several Union governments collectively. India has taken 17 years to launch the indirect tax regime. It is difficult to make comparisons with other countries about the speed at which the Goods and Services Tax was instituted.

Data of the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation shows that since 2001, the roads were built at the highest speed in 2012-’13.
