Previous govt deprived people of basics: Modi at Ujjwala-2 launch

LUCKNOW: PM Narendra Modi accused the previous Congress government of pursuing a lackadaisical approach that forced people to spend their entire energy on fulfilling basic needs while being deprived of achieving bigger goals.

Speaking virtually at the launch of the second phase of Ujjwala scheme from Mahoba in Bundelkhand on Tuesday, Modi said it was “unfortunate” that the brunt of this callous approach was borne by poor women. “People can turn their dreams into reality only when they are confident of getting basic amenities like LPG, roads, electricity, water and toilets, which was not the case for the past many decades,” he said.
