The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government of the State would start dedicating the public welfare and poor beneficial ‘Annapurna Yojna’ from June 3. The BJP would organise Antyoday conventions in the poor colonies of all the 230 assembly constituencies of the State from May 27 to 29.
Ten such conventions would be held in all the assembly constituencies for making the scheme popular.
The Annapurna Yojna would be the realisation of Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan’s announcement that the labour class would get one month ration by working just one day.
The common poor of the State would be provided with just Re 1 per kg wheat, Rs 2 per kg rice and Re 1 per kg iodised salt under the scheme.
BJP State general secretary and MP Maya Singh said that the Congress led UPA Government only made lot of hue and cry for bringing free food for all bill, but could not dare pass the legislature in the parliament.
Madhya Pradesh Government would provide the grains to the poor at such cheap rates shows that how sensitive this Government is for the poor and downtrodden.
The State Government would be burdened with additional Rs 700 crore by lauching this scheme, she added.
She said that the BJP stands with its stand for demanding Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s resignation and after struggle in the parliament it would launch massive jail bharo agitation on May 27 across the country in support of its demand.
