Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The question asks to identify which statement contradicts or negates the Prime Minister's claim that there has been "not even one taint or blot" on his government regarding corruption.

2. Statement (I) talks about technology bringing transparency and achievements under Modi's government, which supports the claim rather than negates it.

3. Statement (II) highlights rapid development and infrastructure growth under Modi’s tenure, again supporting the claim of progress and good governance.

4. Statement (III) points out that a billion Indians are still below the poverty line and are struggling with corruption, which directly contradicts the claim of a spotless government record on corruption.
