There is no Middle Men.

Addressing a rally in Gujarat few months ago, Rahulbaba recalls that Rajiv Gandhi used to say "when government sends 1 rupee for the poor, when it reaches them only 10 paise are left". Today visionary Gujarat CM Narendra Modi has proved that "where there is a will there is a way". Through Garib Kalyan Mela held across Gujarat, NaMo have removed the middle men. Poor people are getting help directly from the Government.
Total 300 Taluka level and 40 district level garib kalyan mela are held so far. Govt of Gujarat will continue this program until September 10, 2010.
