PM Narendra Modi in his most explosive election interview with Republic Media Network's Editor-in-chief on Friday shot down Congress' NYAY Minimum Income Guarantee promise highlighting that 'Garibi Hatao' and Rahul Gandhi's 'final assault on poverty' is something the Congress has assured multiple times across multiple generations:
"Their track record should be seen. One family for four generations - Nehruji spoke about poverty, Indiraji also spoke about poverty, Rajiv Gandhi also spoke about poverty, Sonia Gandhi also spoke about poverty and now the fifth generation is also talking about poverty. And these are the people who have ruled the country for 55 years. It has been only them ruling for 55 years. Despite that, their track record shows that the poor have become poorer. Who will trust them? The issue is not that...This is not about the economy..," PM Modi said.
Meanwhile, the 17th Lok Sabha election will be held in seven phases beginning April 11. The final phase of voting will take place on May 19. The counting of votes will be done on May 23.
