PM Modi Slams Past Corruption, Highlights 5G Rollout And Economic Growth

Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a scathing critique of past governance during a recent address, highlighting the damaging impact of widespread corruption and policy stagnation on India’s development. In his speech, Modi lamented a period he described as marked by rampant corruption, where only a fraction of allocated funds reached their intended beneficiaries.

“There was a period of scams when it was shamelessly accepted publicly that if 1 rupee is sent from Delhi, only 15 paise reaches. In 1 rupee, there is a scam of 85 paise,” PM Modi stated, underscoring the pervasive nature of corruption that he claimed had engulfed the nation in despair.
