Use of national security important in polls but Oppn won't understand: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday slammed the opposition for criticising ruling NDA for raking national security issue in election and asserted that rooting out terror is crucial to alleviation of poverty.
 

The PM underlined national security as an important issue since the money spent on internal security could be better utilized for uplifting the conditions of the poor.
 

He rejected the Congress claims of having waived farmers loans in states ruled by it and promise of doing the same across the country if voted to power and alleged that no poor dalit or adivasi gained from the loan waiver
