He said according to reports from the United Nations and others, the poverty which was 22 per cent has dipped to 10 per cent in India under the leadership of Modi. The number of very poor people has come down to less than one per cent, he added.
“The Congress does not have much knowledge. Its leaders keep shouting inflation, inflation, inflation and inflation. They don’t know that the Morgan and Stanley report reveals that India was the strongest economy in the world,” Nadda said.
The BJP chief arrived a day before PM Modi’s scheduled visit to Bhopal on 27 June.
The PM is scheduled to flag off new Vande Bharat trains from Bhopal and also engage in a dialogue with party workers from 34 states at the Motilal Nehru police stadium.
