He said the poor were deceived all these years but his government managed to break through this "deception" and improved their lot, and asked the NDA MPs to similarly smash through the deception around minorities. With speculation rife over who will join his Council of Ministers, Modi said he was yet to go through the details of NDA MPs and asked them to not trust media reports, adding they are aimed at creating confusion and often put out with "bad intentions".
