Rahul Gandhi had said at an election rally that if Congress is voted to power in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, it would ensure that “poverty is erased in one stroke”.
Lok Sabha Elections 2024: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (April 14) took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and termed him a “royal magician” over his remark to eradicate poverty “with a single stroke” and said the country doesn’t take him seriously. The Prime Minister said that what the Congress leader said was “laughable” and reminded that his grandmother had given the slogan of ‘Garibi Hatao’ decades ago. Addressing a rally at Pipariya town in Madhya Pradesh’s Hoshangabad Lok Sabha constituency, Modi also targeted the opposition I.N.D.I.A bloc over one of its constituents being in favour of nuclear disarmament and said they cannot protect the country.
