Modi slams UPA on insufficient homes for poor

Prime

Minister Narendra Modi yesterday attacked the previous UPA government for not building sufficient homes for the poor.

“In the final four years of the UPA rule, they built only 2.50 million homes for the poor. In the past four years of the BJP government, we have constructed 1.25 crore (12.5 million) houses for the poor with full amenities, which will empower them,” Modi said. “If that (UPA-II) government had continued, then at their speed it would have taken 20 years to provide 1.25 crore homes.” (IANS)
