Want to fight poverty, not Gogoi: PM Modi

Tinsukia (Assam), Mar 26 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who kicked off the BJP's campaign in poll-bound Assam on Saturday, said that he wanted to fight corruption in the state and not Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. Addressing a rally in Tinsukia district, Prime Minister Modi lashed out at the Congress Party and said Assam, which was one of the most prosperous states at the time of independence, is one of the poorest today. Prime Minister Modi assured that if the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came to power then the poorest of poor would have access to basic amenities which they were presently lacking. Highlighting his agenda for development of Assam, he said that the situation in the state would change if three things were done that is education to poor, provision of income to youth and medicines to the old. Prime Minister Modi also used the occasion to highlight his party's chief ministerial candidate Sarbananda Sonowal.
