PM Narendra Modi on Budget 2022: we turned women into 'malkins', poor into 'lakhpatis'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the house provided under the PM’s scheme has turned the poor into “lakhpatis”.

“In the last seven years, we have given 3 crore poor people pucca houses, and made them lakhpatis. Those who lived in slums, have their own houses. Our government has increased the price and size of these houses. Out of this, most of the houses are in the name of women. We have made women “maalkins” (owners),” he said.
