Congress didn't want to end poverty: Modi

November 23, 2013 19:59

Attacking the Congress for "doing nothing for the poor", BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi today said the ruling party never wanted to educate people and eliminate poverty as it was afraid of being stripped of power.

"Congress knows that the moment masses get educated, their chairs will be in danger," Modi said while addressing a poll meeting.

Targeting the Nehru-Gandhi family, he said, "Why are four generations of a family saying the same thing (on poverty) but doing nothing for the people of the country?"
