Answer:
Hey dude ,
Explanation:
On April 6, 2019 Prime Minister Narendra Modi arguably made his first mention of the word “poverty” during the current poll campaign. And in a huge symbolic gesture, he made this mention in a public rally in Sonepur in Odisha, one of India’s poorest districts.
By this time, other political parties — eminently the Indian National Congress — had already mentioned the word.
In 2017, Modi promised to eradicate poverty by 2022, as part of his “New India” agenda. Expectedly, Modi said in this public meeting: "The Congress has all along been reaping political benefits by employing poverty as a major weapon. Poverty cannot be eradicated as long as the Congress exists." And he asked voters to throw away Congress, so poverty would be automatically eradicated.
Some 50 years ago, the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi gave that now famous “Garibi Hatao” call in the neighbouring areas.
On the same day, Modi’s finance minister Arun Jaitley also spoke on poverty eradication while addressing students in a college in Delhi. “India may become the third-largest economy by 2030 and poverty will fall below 10 per cent by 2025,” said Jaitley.
According to the 2011 Census, nearly 22 per cent of India’s population is poor. Jaitley “assumed” that this rate was already 17 per cent in 2019. In 2004-05, this was 37 per cent.
The poverty line for the 2011 figure was Rs 816/capita/month (for rural) expenditure. Or a person earning above Rs 27 per day will be considered above the poverty line.
