Union Minister of State for Environment, Forests and Climate Change Prakash Javadekar has claimed that the Modi-led Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Government at the Centre is working for the poor, the farmers and the labourers and commoners.
Javadekar who was addressing a public meeting in Chhindwara on Thursday said, “In the just concluded Parliament session the central Government one the one hand increased the bonus given to the laborers and increased its lap, made provisions of direct transfer of profit amount in farmers account in the sugar face bill and passed the bill in the lok Sabha but the Congress banking over its majority in the Rajya Sabha stopped them from passing in upper house affecting farmers and laborers interest.”
Javadekar further said that the Congress by creating hurdle since the public welfare schemes is becoming obstacle in progress.
In the coming two years the numbers of BJP would increase in the Rajya Sabha and the bullying of Congress would be contained. Congress’ anti progress face stands exposed before the people of the country, he added.
He said that the intent of the central Government was to pass the Goods and Service Tax bill in the just concluded parliamentary session.
The passage of this bill would increase the growth rate of the country and in the coming two years the GDP would increase from 7.5 to 9.5 per cent. But the growth of country is not acceptable to Congress and that is why it did not allow the bill to get passed, he added.
