PM Narendra Modi said,” “Today is a very special day in my life. I am privileged that I was given a chance to honour my motherland. I am thankful to you all who have come in such a large number to bestow their blessings.” The Prime Minister further said that in the last eight years of his government, he had never thought of himself as the PM – but as the ‘pradhan sevak’ of the country.
Speaking at the rally, Hitting out at the Congress which was in power at the Centre before BJP, PM Modi said the government before 2014 considered “corruption as an essential part of the system”. “The country was watching that the money of the schemes was looted before reaching the needy,” he said, adding, “Before 2014, the headlines in newspapers were dominated by cases of scam, corruption…the time has changed now.”
According to the report,” The prime minister also released the 11th instalment of cash under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) scheme. This will enable the transfer of around Rs. 21,000 crore to more than 10 crore beneficiary farmer families.”
