“Wherever it (Congress) can do it, it will try to loot the claims of the SCs, STs and OBCs and give them to others,” said Modi.

The 106-year-old Kunwar Bai had sold off around ten of her goats, her only assets, to raise money to build toilets at her house, in her village of Kotabharri, in Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh.
She worked towards spreading awareness about using toilets in her village and due to her efforts, the district of Dhamtari became the first to be declared open defecation free in 2016.
“#SheInspiresMe- Kunwar Bai, who died earlier this year at the age of 106. Hailing from Chhattisgarh, she sold her goats in order to build toilets. Her contribution towards a Swachh Bharat can never be forgotten. I am deeply inspired by her noble gesture,” Modi tweeted.
