Amta (West Bengal): Union Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said India would be freed from poverty, the day it got rid of the Congress. Referring to late PMs Indira Gandhi and Rajeev Gandhi and the Congress President, Rahul Gandhi, he said while all talked about eradicating poverty and uplifting the poor, the only PM who succeeded in that was Narendra Modi.
“They all talked about saving the poor and eradicating poverty, but in reality poverty kept increasing. Now Rahul is also making such promises.
