A couple of days ago, while divulging details about 'Seva Saptah', BJP National Secretary Arun Singh said, "Modi government is dedicated to the poor people of the country. Ever since Narendra Modi Ji has taken charge as Prime Minister, he has dedicated his life to the poor of the nation."

“Many of the Modi government schemes like Ujjwala Yojna, PM Awas Yojna, Aayushman Yojna, and many others are successful schemes that have benefitted the poor. The Modi government is dedicated to the poor, as the PM Modi himself comes from a poor background, he understands the problems and difficulties faced by the poor in the country,” he added.
