“The country will not progress unless the poor are uplifted. The BJP is claiming to end poverty, but the situation is worse than before. Their manifesto is still silent, while the Congress has given 10 guarantees to eliminate poverty in its manifesto,” said Chaudhary, while addressing a meet organised by the District Bar Association, Panchkula.
