Jaipur : The Modi government has put an ‘effective control on middlemen and power brokers’ and has ‘stopped’ leakage (of money) to them, Union minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said on Friday.

  “The government has eliminated the role of around 80 per cent middlemen. It has resulted in a system where each and every penny of money sent by the government is being spent on the welfare of farmers, poor and weaker section of society,” the MoS for Minority Affairs told a press conference here.

He said the government has established a ‘corruption-free and development-oriented system’. “Congress leaders are unable to see the good governance because they are in a habit of living in corruption. Congress is doing ‘Bhangda of Brastachar’ wearing ‘Ghotale ka Ghungru’,” the minister said.

“The two years of the Modi government is full of confidence. Congress’ rule was of corruption but we talk of connection – of LPG, of electricity, of broadband, and of road,” he said.

He also said the government has taken a tough stand on the issue of terrorism and terrorism-related incidents have ‘reduced by around 80 per cent’ in the country.
