Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday lashed out at previous governments, saying the poor had to bear the brunt of their “wrong” policies and intentions. He also said the poor people never believed in the past that the government will help them get a roof above their heads. 

“Their (previous governments) policies were wrong and the poor had to bear the brunt of their wrong intentions,” he said while releasing financial assistance of rs 2,691 crore to 6.1 lakh beneficiaries in Uttar Pradesh under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.
