'Will give ₹3K cr seized by ED to poor'

A DAY after speaking to ‘shakti swaroopa’ Rekha Patra, the Basirhat’s BJP Lok Sabha candidate, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a phone conversation with Krishnanagar candidate Amrita Roy on Wednesday.

The PM told her to inform the people of West Bengal that he was exploring legal options to ensure that around ₹3,000 crore seized by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was “returned to the poor people” when he comes back to power for a third term. Roy is pitted against TMC’s Mahua Moitra.

The BJP expects a catalytic impact on the voters belonging to the poor sections after Modi’s assertion about “returning the money to the poor through proper legal provisions.”
