"Governments After Independence Destroyed Panchayat Raj System": PM Modi | Read

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the Bharatiya Janata Party government ended "injustice" done to the villages by the previous administrations which "ignored and avoided spending money in the rural areas". The Prime Minister said that the political parties in the past indulged in "dividing the people of the village". Addressing the Panchayati Raj Diwas celebrations in Madhya Pradesh's Rewa, PM Modi said, "Earlier governments used to avoid spending money for the village... so they were ignored. Many political parties were running their shops by dividing the people of the village. BJP has also ended this injustice being done to the villages. Our government has opened the coffers for the development of villages."
