PM Modi’s welfare schemes reached neediest without any vote bank consideration, says Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh
Union Minister of State PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh today said that over the last 8 years, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s welfare schemes reached the neediest without any vote bank consideration.
Addressing meetings with Beneficiaries and Municipal Council Chairperson and Members at Mainpuri in Uttar Pradesh, Dr Jitendra Singh said, each of the pro-poor and public welfare schemes were designed in such a manner so as to reach the neediest or the last man in the last queue, regardless of caste, creed, religion or any vote consideration. He said, this is fully in tune with Deen Dayal Upadhyaya’s philosophy of Antyodaya, which means rise of the last person.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, when Modi took over in May, 2014, almost half of the country’s population was deprived of facilities like toilets, housing, vaccination, electricity connection and bank accounts. He said, with Sabka Prayas, the Centre has been able to bring many schemes closer to 100% saturation during the last 8 years, there is a new resolve to make India a frontline state in the world in the next 25 years of Amrit Kaal.
Dr Jitendra Singh said, the citizen-centric schemes like Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PM-GKAY), PM Aawas Yojna, PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana, Har Ghar Jal, Ujjawala, Sauchalaya, Jan Dhan, Ayushman have reached every such household without any political consideration and other considerations and utmost care was taken to target the needy and disadvantaged sections of society by following the principle of “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas”. He said, people are getting the benefits of welfare schemes without any discrimination, unlike in the past, when appeasement policy was rampant. The Minister emphasised that these welfare measures brought crores of people out of the clutches of abject poverty and gave them a life of dignity.
