Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday (May 2, 2022) took an apparent dig at the Congress and said that now no PM will have to lament that he sends one rupee, but only 15 paise reaches the intended beneficiary.
Addressing the Indian community in Berlin during his three-day visit to Europe, PM Modi also said that before 2014, India was a “work in progress”, but over the past eight years the country has been making rapid strides in every sector.
“Woh kaunsa panja tha jo 85 paise ghis leta tha (which palm was it that used to take away 85 paise),” he said while attacking the Congress party.
During his hour-long address to the Indian diaspore, which was peppered with slogans of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’, ‘Modi hai toh mumkin hai’ and ‘2024, Modi Once More’ by the ecstatic crowd, the Prime Minister said that a new resurgent India had made up its mind to move forward with determination and urged the Indian diaspora to help the country take big strides globally.
More than 1600 members of the Indian community in Germany comprising students, researchers and professionals are said to have participated in the event.
