Besides, over four crore fake ration cards have been withdrawn since 2014 by the present government in the country to stop the theft of food grains worth crores meant for the poor.

They have the policy to guarantee that even the last man in the queue gets the benefit of government schemes. Modi additionally called upon people to take a vow to construct 75 'Amrit Sarovar (ponds)' in every district of the nation over the coming 12 months, as the nation marks 75 years of its independence.
