Black money amounting to almost Rs 1.25 lakh crore has been confiscated by the Modi government, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Monday.

Vaishnaw attributed the removal of corruption in today’s times to the transparency that was brought on by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s good governance.

“One dimension of good governance is transparency. Corruption that was in the system has been removed. All that money is now coming to the government."

"Having a transparent system for real estate has made a huge difference in people’s lives,” the Union Minister added.
