New Delhi: The Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday came heavily on Aam Aadmi Party national convener Arvind Keijriwal and said that his government has consistently strived to uplift the living standards of people as well as enhance their financial power.
Replying to the Motion of Thanks on President’s address, PM Modi cited many public-driven projects and schemes to harness the country’s resources and said that his government used the money to build the nation, and not ‘Sheeshmahal’, a luxurious palace for former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal allegedly built on the taxpayers’ money.
“Earlier, the newspapers were filled with news of scams and corruption. In the past 10 years, we have saved crores of rupees which have been used for the public. We have not used that money to build a ‘Sheeshmahal’, instead we used that to build the nation,” said the Prime Minister, amid vigorous desk thumping by the treasury bench members.
The Prime Minister also took a swipe at a former Congress PM and mocked his obsession for becoming ‘Mr Clean’.
“A former PM used to say that when Rs 1 was sent from Delhi, only 15 paise reached the bottom. Everyone can understand who was getting the 15 paise,” he said while stating that it happened at a time when there was only one party from the panchayat level to the central level. The PM was referring to ex-prime minister Rajiv Gandhi.
PM Modi asserted that his government tried to find a solution and not merely keep the situation lingering for decades.
“Our model is ‘Bhachat bhi Vikas bhi’, ‘Janata ka paisa janata ke liye,” he asserted.
PM Modi listed several schemes like JAM Trinity while talking about ethanol as an alternative to fuel and explained they have proven to be big money-minting projects.
