Amid ongoing Lok Sabha elections 2024, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said on Saturday that the pro-poor policies of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre lifted 25 crore people from poverty.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi has grown up in poverty. Therefore, he knows the problems of the poor very well. Before 2014, schemes were for special people, but after 2014, every scheme under the leadership of the Prime Minister comes for the welfare of the poor. As a result of these schemes, today 25 crore people have come out of the poverty line," Dhami said while addressing an election rally in support of BJP candidate Krishan Pal Gurjar from Faridabad Lok Sabha constituency.
