I saw complete control of the election Giving.” In the hands of the people,” said the Prime Minister.

Attempt. His confession is self-evident that if anyone works, it is a double engine government and does it without any discrimination. Modi said it is the work of the BJP government that has benefited the people of the region, with “highways being improved and railway projects happening” as the party is ruling both at the Center and in the state.

Modi said that in nine years, the BJP government transferred Rs 29 lakh crore to the bank accounts of poor and middle class families and the money reached the people without stealing a single paisa.
He alleged that if there was a Congress government, the party leaders would have looted Rs 24 lakh crore.
The Prime Minister said that India has become one of the largest mobile phone manufacturing countries. He said that there was a time when there were only two factories manufacturing cell phones in India, but now there are more than 200 factories in the country.
Elaborating further, he said that before 2014, when Congress was in power at the Centre, one gigabyte (GB) of mobile internet data cost Rs 300, but under the BJP government, now one GB data costs only Rs 10. .
