Modi also said that data suggested that an increasing number of people are paying taxes, which further shows their trust that the government is putting their money to good use. Citing a Niti Aayog report, he said 135 million Indians came out of below poverty line in five years.
Modi made the statements while virtually addressing a Rozgar Mela, during which he distributed 5,580 appointment letters to primary school teachers in Madhya Pradesh.
