Union Textile Minister Santosh Gangawar claimed that people across the country are happy since Narendra Modi took over as Prime Minister two years ago, as it has been scam free and corruption free on one hand, and on the other helped the economy develop in leaps and bounds.
Schemes such as Jan Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bhima Yojana, and Suraksha Yojana introduced by the BJP-led NDA government proved to be very useful to the poor and farming community, as they provided not just life insurance but also crop insurance.
Since the Prime Minister came from a humble background, he was aware of the problems of the common people and therefore ensured the sanction of 10 crore LPG connections to do away with firewood chullahs, Mr. Gangawar said.
The Minister, leading a team of BJP leaders, arrived in the district on Wednesday night as part of the BJP’s ‘Vikas Parve’ tour. He was speaking at the public meeting here on Thursday. Among those who addressed the well-attended meetings were Union Minister of State for Food Processing Niranjan Jyoti, former Jharkhand Chief Minister Arjun Munda, and BJP State president K. Lakshman.
Mr. Munda said that the country could register an attractive growth rate in the two-year rule of Mr. Modi. The ancient Indian practice of yoga assumed international importance thanks only to the Prime Minister’s persuasion in the UNO.
Ms. Jyoti said that her Ministry sanctioned four mega food processing parks to Telangana State and they were at different stages. The BJP strengthened the manufacturing sector during its two-year rule.
Mr. Lakshman criticised the State government for its alleged claim of distributing rice and ration at the lowest prices, while making use of the Centre’s assistance. “It (TRS) is afraid of giving credit to the former,” she said.
The BJP leaders held meetings with professionals, students and general public seeking feedback from them on Narendra Modi’s rule late Wednesday night and also at Armoor the next morning.
Party leaders L. Bhoopathi Reddy, Y. Lakshminarayana, Palle Ganga Reddy, B. Lakshma Reddy, Nerella Anjaneyulu, and Aljapur Srinivas were also present.
