Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that corruption has considerably come down ever since his government came to power in May 2014 as "nuts and bolts" have been tightened. Speaking at an event after distributing special aid equipment to 9,296 differently abled people at DLW grounds in his parliamentary constituency, Modi claimed this has been achieved largely by "tightening the nuts and bolts". By filling up the lacunae and ensuring that the role of middlemen was completely erased in government dealings, the prime minister said welfare schemes are being implemented faster and other projects are being fast-tracked. The prime minister added that his government is committed to assimilating all sections, specially poor, weaker and marginalized sections of the society into the mainstream. Modi said that attempts like the one in Varanasi - distribution of aid equipment in large programmes - have ensured that the role of middlemen is completely done away with. In the same breath, he mused how these middlemen were overworked now as they had the task of attacking him every now and then. "But let me assure all of you that I am not deterred by such criticism as this would distract me and I will not be able to work on my mission for the people of India," he said while assuring that he would, in times to come, "continue to trouble such people".-
