Modi started on a Rs 16,000-crore scheme, Saubhagya, that he said will deliver free electricity connections by December 2018.

“Rs 16,000 crore will be spent to bring a mammoth change in the lives of the poor,” the PM said.

Modi wanted to explain that he has experienced the many difficulties of the less well-off, doing without electricity as a student.

NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday he will not give in his "fight against corruption.

Modi launched a Rs 16,000-crore scheme, Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana (shortened to Saubhagya, meaning good fate) that he said will bring free electricity connections by December 2018. However, they will have to pay the monthly power bill.

Modi government's focal point on delivering on schemes like housing, power, loans and farm insurance to key sections of the electorate. Alongside electrification, the PM Awas Yojana has sanctioned more than 26 lakh houses for the urban poor and more than 1.76 lakh units have been constructed.

Another 11 lakh are being built while two lakh houses are complete under JNNURM.

Earlier, speaking at the BJP national executive, Modi said, "The battle against corruption will continue without compromise" and took a deliberate swipe at Congress, adding, "I have no relatives." The dig was aimed at controversies surrounding Robert Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress chief Sonia Gandhi.

In spite of the opposition chorus of disapproval over moves like demonetization and implementation of GST, Modi said there would be no let-up in measures against corruption and anyone caught will be punished..
