He further claimed that there were around 50 million bogus ration cards in the country, which the Centre has "removed from the system".

 

 

The recent Budget announcement to provide income tax exemption to those earning up to Rs 12 lakh has been widely appreciated. PM Modi, speaking about it in his rally, said that the income tax exemption will "benefit" the salaried class, small businesspersons, and workers. 

  Apart from that, PM Modi mocked the Opposition in the Surat rally by saying that loans worth Rs 32 trillion are given under the MUDRA scheme but "those who got zero seats won't know how many zeros are there in this figure".
