Government working for Dalit empowerment: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said his government was working for the empowerment of Dalits.

"Our government is your government. We are working for your empowerment. Financial Inclusion is at the core of our focus. We want to create job-creators, not job-seekers," he said at the Dalit Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

"We all know Babasaheb Ambedkar was the architect of our constitution, but not many know that he was an accomplished economist too.

"Babasaheb rightly said that industrialization will give maximum benefit to our Dalit sisters and brothers," Modi said.
