Era of 'corruption and scams' before 2014, but now every penny reaching into accounts of poor people: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said there was an era of “corruption and scams” before 2014 and the rights of the poor and their money were robbed, but now every penny is reaching into their accounts directly.

The data shows an increasing number of people are paying taxes, which shows their faith in the government that their money is being put to good use, Modi said.

He was virtually addressing the training-cum-orientation programme of newly appointed teachers at the CM Rise Government Mahatma Gandhi Higher Secondary School in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal.
