HOME Minister Amit Shah on Saturday credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi for transforming the vision of a welfare state into a reality, a feat he claimed previous governments before 2014 pursued only in bits and pieces.
Highlighting Modi's approach, Shah noted that the Prime Minister recognized that India's progress hinges on addressing poverty among its 60-crore marginalized population. Over the past decade, Shah said, Modi's efforts have lifted 25 crore people out of poverty. "Prime Minister Modi grasped the mantra that India's development is impossible if 60 crore citizens remain in poverty, lifting 25 crore people out of poverty over the past decade," he said, addressing a gathering at the Gujarat Lok Seva Trust's annual event in Ahmedabad.
