“I will not let the country down. The country is in safe hands,” PM Modi said while addressing a public rally at Churu in Rajasthan.

The prime minister also said that Rs 7.5 Lakh Crore will be deposited in the accounts of farmers within next 10 years.

“They will not have to do anything for it. They will directly get a notification on their mobile phones, saying that they have received the amount,” he said.
