BJP eradicates corruption, Congress survives on it: GVL Narsimha Rao

New Delhi [India], Mar. 13 (ANI): Lauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's efforts in the Bharatiya Janata Party's astounding victory in the recent Uttar Pradesh Assembly Elections, party spokesperson GVL Narsimha Rao on Monday said that under his leadership, India now has a new face. "The Prime Minister is committed to development and eradication of corruption in the country. Owing to this, India is now on at a significant position globally. By 2022, the vision is to provide basic amenities to all citizens across the country," Rao told ANI. With regards to the alliance that was formed for a possible government in Goa under Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, Rao said that the alliance has been proposed envisioning stability and good governance in the state. "In Goa and Manipur, Congress has not been able to form a government.
