Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Saturday stated that his government's policies were specifically aimed at alleviating poverty and generating employment. He cautioned against forms of economic liberalisation that could potentially lead to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a select few, reported news agency PTI.

"Our objective is to create an economic option that will eliminate poverty, create jobs for youth and lead to creation of wealth," Gadkari said during his address at the National Conference of CA Students-2025, adding, "we need such an economic option." 

He further asserted that previous governments, under P.V. Narasimha Rao and Manmohan Singh, had adopted an economic liberalisation framework.
