Prime Minister and Senior BJP leader Narendra Modi today said that people are witnessing the difference between 10 years of Modi government and 60 years of Congress rule. Addressing a public meeting at Madha in Maharashtra, he said that while Prime Ministers during the Congress rule chanted the phrase gareebi hatayenge, but it is the NDA Government that lifted 25 crore people out of poverty in the last ten years.
Mr. Modi said that in 2014, there were about 100 irrigation projects that were stuck for decades and the NDA Government has already executed 63 of them. Attacking NCP(SP) chief Sharad Pawar, Mr. Modi said that when Mr. Pawar was the Agriculture Minister in the Centre, the Fair and Remunerative Price, FRP of sugarcane was 200 rupees but during the 10 years of NDA rule, the FRP of sugarcane has been increased to 340 rupees per quintal. Later in the day, Mr. Modi will address rallies in Osmanabad and Latur.
