The upcoming Lok Sabha election is all about meeting the hopes and aspirations of every Indian, BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi said Sunday.
Speaking at the Bharatiya Janata Party's national council meeting here, Modi said India had never seen the kind of corruption and poor governance witnessed in the last decade.
"The 2014 polls are different because never before did the people of this country see so much corruption.
