Let there be contest to assess performance of ‘family’ and ‘chaiwala’: PM

SHAHDOL (MP) Nov 16: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said he was ready for a contest between the performance of “four generations” of the Nehru-Gandhi family and that of “four years of a chaiwala”, and asserted his Government provided the poor people with amenities like access to banks, power and LPG which the Congress was unable to do during its 55-year rule.

Addressing a rally here ahead of the November 28 polls in Madhya Pradesh, Modi said the Congress, which was seeking an account of the BJP Government’s performance, should explain what it did for the State during its over five-decade rule.

“It is clear before you, 15 years (of the BJP rule in Madhya Pradesh) versus 55 years (of the Congress rule). And I am surprised! You should also seek an account of (the performance of) Modi. I insist on it.

“What have the Governments of four generations of a family given to the nation and what has a chaiwala given in four years. Come on, let there be a contest,” he added.

Modi said his Government has ensured that every poor in the country has a bank account and it was done in just four years, while the Congress gave the slogan of ‘garibi hatao’ (eradicate poverty) in early 1970s, but did nothing. (AGENCIES)
