WHAT ELSE PM MODI SAID:

- Cleanliness should have been dealt with in the last 70 years. But the Congress didn't care. So I took it upon me to start the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, which not only cleaned the country, but also generated employment. When I came to power, I didn't promise constructing hotels, instead I promised constructing toilets. In Rajasthan alone, 80 lakh toilets were made so that women don't have to defecate in the open.
