For the first time since Independence, the Modi government removed 25 crore people out of poverty, said Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Wednesday. He also accused the INDIA bloc leaders of misleading the nation, reported news agency ANI.
Addressing a public meeting in Patna, Rajnath Singh said, "I have seen the period of rule of Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. They all claimed to end poverty once they came to power, but poverty never came to an end," reported ANI.
