Taking a jibe at Congress, Modi said the BJP will make a clean sweep by winning all 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh. “Madhya Pradesh has been a 'BIMARU' state, but the double-engine government of the BJP has uplifted it from that tag with developments in the past 10 years. The process of uplifting tribals was started when the former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee led the BJP government. Tribals are not vote banks for the BJP,” he added.
During his visit to Jhabua, a tribal-dominated region in Madhya Pradesh, PM Modi transferred an amount of around Rs 90 crore into the accounts of beneficiaries under the various government schemes such as Aahar Anudan and Pradhan Mantri Adarsh Gram Yojana.
