The Congress party has done little to eradicate poverty in the country despite forming the government several times at the Centre, Defence Minister and BJP leader Rajnath Singh said.
“For the first time in independent India, the Narendra Modi government has succeeded in bringing 25 crore people out of poverty,” Mr. Singh said while addressing a roadshow held as part of a Lok Sabha election campaign in Khammam on Friday.
“The Narendra Modi government has delivered on its promises, including abrogation of Article 370 and construction of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya. The BJP is committed to implementing Uniform Civil Code (UCC) as promised in the BJP Lok Sabha manifesto,” Mr Singh asserted.
