Addressing a poll rally in Sikar, he also attacked UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi for claiming to have made laws in favour of the poor but not implementing them on ground.
"When Babashaeb Bhim Rao Ambedkar made the Indian constitution, was it to keep the people of the nation poor or to keep them illiterate. The Congress has not fulfilled its constitutional duties and responsibilities and has destroyed the country in the last 60 years," Mr Modi said.
He took a dig at Sonia Gandhi, saying when she addressed the people here; she claimed that several laws have been made for the poor.
"If a gun licence instead of a gun is shown to a lion, he is not going to get scared and in the same way just making laws for poor was not enough and their implementation was also required," Mr Modi said.
He said the UPA Government humiliated the poor of the country when it did not even listen to the Supreme Court and allowed several thousand tonnes of wheat to rot on railway stations.
"The rotting wheat was given to wine manufacturers at the rate of 80 paise but not given to the farmers," Mr Modi alleged.
