Narendra Modi Inaugurates 'Rani Durgavati Memorial And Park,' PM Affirms To Uplift Marginalized Sections
PM Modi: Before 2014, Congress governments were headlines for thousands of crores of rupees worth of scams. The money that was meant for the poor was going into the treasure chests of Congress leaders. The BJP government is a government of the poor. Empowering the deprived is the top priority of the BJP’s double-engine government. These were the words spoken by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Jabalpur. He was here to perform the ground-breaking and inauguration ceremonies of development projects worth over 12,600 crores. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan was also present at the event.
₹1 used to yield only 15 paise: PM Modi
Prime Minister Modi said that in the past, a Congress Prime Minister claimed that if he sent 1 rupee from Delhi, only 15 paise reached the people. In other words, 85 paise would disappear somewhere. The BJP government, through its clean governance, rectified the corrupt systems created by the Congress. PM Modi stated that with the use of technology, the BJP government removed nearly 11 crore fake names from government records. These were names that never existed but had been used to siphon off government funds. This figure is higher than the total population of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Since coming to power in 2014, Modi had cleared the corruption and scams that had plagued the country.
Women liberated from smoke: PM Modi
Prime Minister Modi stated that one of the top priorities of the BJP government is to provide smoke-free kitchens to our sisters.

We provided Ujjwala connections to the sisters of poor families for free.

It gives us the courage to do something for our homeland. Today, I congratulate the entire tribal community and the 140 crore countrymen.
