Modi government should know that poverty is real curse. India can become clean if bring people above poverty line,” he said. "I had started this cleanness drive way back in 1990 after becoming CM for the first time. But poverty became the hurdle in implementation of this programme," he said. He, however, supported the PM on his current foreign policy by visiting different countries. "India should make friendly ties with big nations and I think Modi is doing the right thing. But in the parliament I will ask the PM to give the details of his foreign visit and its outcome," he said. But he also criticised the Centre in failing to curb corruption and inflation. "People of the country are aware of every thing and they will not allow anyone to do a drama in front of them and doing nothing for the country," Yadav stated.
