AMN / NEW DELHI
Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today called for finding long-term policy solutions to eradicate poverty rather than offering short term waivers or freebies.
He said, government and policymakers have to ensure that the benefits of all programs reach the most deserving sections of society.
Addressing the gathering at a function in New Delhi, Mr Naidu called for plugging loopholes in the anti-defection law to prevent elected representatives from defecting to another party without resigning.
The Vice President said, people have a choice to change parties if they have a difference of opinion on ideology, but not for individual benefits.
