Fourth poorest, largest contributor of poverty: Kapil Sibal’s dig at Amit Shah over his ‘atma nirbhar MP’ remarks

Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal on Monday took a swipe at Home Minister Amit Shah over his remarks that the BJP government laid the foundation for making Madhya Pradesh self-reliant, claiming the state was the fourth poorest and largest contributor of poverty in the country. At a function in Bhopal on Sunday to release the BJP government’s ‘report card’ of 20 years in Madhya Pradesh, Shah had said the BJP dispensation in these years successfully removed the BIMARU (laggard) category tag from the state, which he claimed was a legacy of the Congress regime.
