PM Modi: 25 Crore Lifted from Poverty in Last Decade, Focuses on Development, Dismisses Election Speculations

PM Modi further says, "In the last 10 years of our government, 25 crore people have been alleviated from poverty. Aapka sapna hi mera sankalp hai. I saw that some media channels were saying that Modi is set to sound the poll bugle (for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections) today. Modi sounds bugle of development. Modi doesn't need to sound the poll bugle, the public does this for Modi. After independence for a long time people raised slogans of Garibi Hatao & some kept lying in the name of social justice. But the poor saw that only some people got rich & it benefitted their politics. But the situation in the country is changing (PM) Modi is serving you with all honesty."
