The BJP is now reaching out to intellectuals, professionals creating awareness about the Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government’s decisions along with various welfare schemes launched by the NDA Government. The party in this connection on Wednesday organised a meet, which was attended by Capital’s eminent doctors, university professors, chartered accountants, company secretaries, advocates, including other dignitaries.
The chief guest of the function was BJP leader from Karnataka and party national general secretary C.T Ravi. Addressing the gathering, Ravi heaped praise on Narendra Modi government and highlighted tough decisions taken by the government. He said, earlier, the Country was known for various scams and scandals in the news, but today the nation's picture has changed and it is known as a country with numerous schemes. Targeting the Congress party, he said during the UPA I and II, scams were newspaper headlines.
“The UPA government headed by the Congress party looted Country’s wealth as scams were in land, air and even space. The Country was plunged into deep financial paralysis, but in 2014 when the Modi Government came to power there was transformation in all sectors,” he said.
To realise the dreams of Antyodaya, schemes dedicated to villages, poor and farmers were made. Jan Dhan accounts were opened for crores of poor and benefits of schemes started reaching through DBT. The middlemen were eliminated.
He said that many schemes like housing for the poor, toilets, free gas cylinders, electricity in homes, funds for farmers, arrangement of neem coated urea fertilizer, soil health card, crop insurance scheme, one nation-one ration card, etc. have been started.
Ravi said that it is the PM's love and affection towards the poor that even during the pandemic, he cared for the poor as the government announced free food grains to 80 crore population for 20 months along with unprecedented increase in medical facilities.
Highlighting Modi’s government commitment in fighting pandemic, he said the Country’s death toll is much less than in America and Europe, while at the same time India developed two indigenous vaccines for fighting coronavirus. Ravi also talked about abolition of article 370, construction of Ram temple and granting citizenship to refugees through CAA law among others.
Addressing the seminar, BJP Legislature Party leader and former Chief Minister Babulal Marandi said that the Atal Bihari Vajpayee government in 1998 for the first time focused on the development of the village. The distance of villages from cities was reduced through Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. He said that today around 6 lakh kilometers of rural roads have been constructed along with thousands of bridges, culverts.
