Chhattisgarh, November 2
Accusing Congress of “nepotism and corruption”, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said that the Congress and development can not go hand in hand. “BJP’s resolve is to strengthen Chhattisgarh identity. BJP’s resolve is to protect the interests of every poor, tribal and backward people. BJP’s resolve is to bring Chhattisgarh among the top states of the country. Development cannot take place wherever there is Congress.” said the Prime Minister while addressing the ‘Vijay Sankalp Maharally’ in Chhattisgarh’s Kanker.
“Over the past 5 years, you have witnessed the shortcomings of the Congress government. During this time, the residences, bungalows, and vehicles of Congress leaders have seen significant growth. Unfortunately, only the children of Congress leaders and their relatives reaped the benefits during this period.” Modi said.
Talking about the development schemes initiated by the centre, Modi emphasized that the BJP government’s foremost concern is the well-being of the poor. We are committed to safeguarding both your current and future interests. Therefore, whatever schemes the BJP government at the Center has implemented during the last 9 years, their aim remains the same – the welfare of the poor.”
“It is decided to build lakhs of houses for lakhs of poor families of Chhattisgarh. But the Congress government here is not allowing them to be built. BJP government made a scheme to provide free ration for you. But Congress made a scam in this scheme also in Chhattisgarh” the Prime Minister said.
Modi highlighted that he launched the initiative to establish quality hospitals in every village through the Ayushman Bharat scheme right from Bastar. “Today, these healthcare facilities are commonly referred to as Ayushman Arogya Mandirs by people across the nation. Thousands of such Ayushman Arogya Mandirs have also been established in Chhattisgarh,” he said.
