PM Modi also said that there was "vikriti" (distortion) in the system of the previous government.
In a veiled attack on the Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday accused the previous government of indulging in hypocrisy, and said it used to recite the word ''poor'' hundred times a day like a "song", but did not work for their welfare. Speaking during a video interaction with Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY) beneficiaries from Madhya Pradesh, he also said that there was "vikriti" (distortion) in the system of the previous government. Asserting that with the change in the functioning of the government now, the schemes were reaching the beneficiaries, PM Modi also said work was on to mitigate the problems being faced on the employment front. "The schemes of the government are reaching the ground and are being implemented at a fast pace because of change in the functioning of the government. There was ''vikriti'' in the previous government's system. They used to ask questions about the poor and also give answers themselves," he said.More Related News
