In a significant address during the reply to the Motion of Thanks on the President’s address in the Rajya Sabha, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unequivocally prioritized the ‘fight against poverty’ as the cornerstone of his government’s agenda for its third term within the NDA alliance.
PM Modi articulated a comprehensive roadmap aimed at alleviating poverty, underscoring it as the primary objective over the next five years.
He expressed profound concern over persistent deprivation faced by certain sections of society, even decades after Independence, and vowed to bring about transformative change.
“A determined and decisive fight will happen in the next five years for the betterment of the poor and downtrodden, aimed at uplifting their living standards,” PM Modi affirmed.

He underscored efforts to simplify the lives of persons with disabilities (Divyangs) and ensure their dignified integration into society.
