regional bias and favouritism in jobs while corruption was rampant in all spheres when the party was in power in the state. At a poll rally in Bahadurgarh under the Rohtak parliamentary constituency, he claimed the Narendra Modi government initiated many schemes in the last 10 years for the benefit of the poor and farmers, bringing smiles to their faces. On the other hand, the Congress in the six decades it was in power did nothing for poverty alleviation in the country other than raising the «garibi hathao» slogan, he alleged.
In a veiled jibe at Rahul Gandhi, the senior BJP leader said, «Now, the Congress' 'yuvraj' says he will eradicate poverty in one stroke. Which 'Aladdin Ka Chirag' (magic lamp) has he got now?»
Asserting the Modi government's schemes benefitted all sections of the society, Saini said that across the country there is a consensus that «Ab ki baar 400 paar». Leaders of the ruling BJP have time and again exuded confidence that the NDA would win more than 400 seats in the Lok Sabha polls with the BJP alone winning 370 seats.
