While campaigning for the Lok Sabha Elections 2024, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke at a public event in Palamu, Jharkhand, on May 4, where he accused Rahul Gandhi of seeking happiness in his tears. He emphasized the government`s efforts in eradicating poverty and expressed his satisfaction when meeting beneficiaries of various government schemes. “I have lived in poverty. I know how troublesome the life of a poor is. All the schemes launched in the last 10 years are inspired by my life experiences. When I meet the beneficiaries, I get tears of joy. These tears can only be understood by those who have seen poverty and struggle. The one who never saw his mother coughing due to smoke, cannot understand these tears... The Shehzade of Congress is searching for his happiness in Modi`s tears... These people are disappointed and hopeless,” said PM Modi.
