‘Modi kahin nahi jayega’ slogans at Modi's roadshow | India records fastest poverty declines

Chants of support echoed across Gujarat's Banaskantha district on Friday as Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a major roadshow. Large crowds gathered along the route to welcome the Prime Minister, raising spirited slogans affirming his continued political presence. This public display of backing coincided with significant national development news. According to the World Bank's Poverty and Equity Brief released in October 2026, India successfully lifted an estimated 496 million people out of poverty between 2011 and 2023. This milestone marks one of the fastest poverty reduction rates recorded globally in recent decades, providing a major economic boost to the current administration's governance model and welfare policies.
