Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya claimed today that unlike the Congress regime, when only 15 paise out of a rupee reached the intended beneficiary, corrupt elements have been kept in check by the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.
Maurya also said "those born with silver and golden spoons" had given poverty to the poor.
Addressing a 'Samajik Pratinidhi Baithak' organised by UP BJP's Backward Cell, Maurya said, "During the Congress government's stint, only 15 paise out of one rupee used to reach the beneficiary. But, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the shops of the intermediaries and corrupt elements have shut down, and the entire one rupee reaches the beneficiary."
