PM’s focus on uplifting the poor, women, youth and farmers: Kashyap
BJP President and MP Suresh Kashyap said that the Central Government is working with the mantra of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas’ and the whole nation’s vision of ‘Sabka Prayas’. In the interim budget 2024-25 of the Central Government, the Prime Minister’s focus was on upliftment of four major sections i.e. poor, women, youth and farmers (farmers).
‘Welfare of the poor, welfare of the nation’ During the last 10 years, the government helped 25 crore people come out of multidimensional poverty. Direct transfer of Rs 34 lakh crore to bank accounts using PM-Jan Dhan accounts. This saved the government Rs 2.7 lakh crore. Loan assistance to 78 lakh street vendors under PM-Swanidhi. 2.3 lakh hawkers received loans for the third time. Emphasis on development of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) through PM-Janman Yojana. End-to-end help to artisans and craftsmen associated with 18 professions under PM-Vishwakarma Scheme.
He said that under the ‘Annadata’ welfare PM-Kisan Samman Yojana, financial assistance was provided to 11.8 crore farmers. Under PM-Crop Insurance Scheme, crop insurance was provided to four crore farmers. 1,361 mandis have been integrated under the Electronic National Agriculture Market (e-NAM). With this, services are available to 1.8 crore farmers with procurement worth Rs 3 lakh crore. Emphasis on women power: 30 crore Mudra Yojana loans were given to women entrepreneurs. Women’s enrollment in higher education increased by 28 percent. 43 percent enrollment of girl students and women in STEM courses, which is the highest in the world.
Under PM-Awas Yojana, 70 percent houses were given to rural women. PM Awas Yojana (Rural) Despite Covid-related challenges, the target of three crore houses under PM-Awas Yojana (Rural) will soon be achieved. A target of 2 crore additional houses will be taken in the next five years. Rooftop solarization and free electricity • By installing rooftop solar system. Crore families will be able to get up to 300 units of free electricity every month. Every family is expected to save Rs 15,000 to 18,000 annually. All Asha workers, Anganwadi workers and assistants will also be included in healthcare coverage under the Ayushman Bharat scheme.
Kashyap said that the Congress party has only done the work of looting the country. He said that those who looted the country’s money will have to pay the price. The looted money will have to be returned. This is because our resolve is that we will neither eat nor allow anyone to eat. During the UPA government, there used to be an uproar if action was not taken against corruption. There was a demand for action. While action is being taken today, the opposition is adopting every trick to save the corrupt leaders. After all, why are the leaders who have been jailed in corruption cases, who have been punished, who have been chargesheeted, being glorified? If they are innocent or victims of political action, then why are they not getting bail from the courts? Now there will be no loot of widow pension like Congress did. Looting of government schemes in crores of fake names will not be allowed. We have removed ten crore fake names from government records.
