Madhya Pradesh: The Prime Minister Narender Modi in a no-holds-barred attack on Congress on Wednesday said that Babasaheb Ambedkar guided India’s water conservation efforts but Congress never gave Babasaheb credit for these water conservation initiatives.
Prime Minister Modi while addressing a gathering in Madhya Pradesh on wednesday said that where there is good governance, both current challenges and the future are given attention.
He also said that unfortunately, Congress governments ruled the country for a long time, believing that governance was their birthright, but they were never truly connected to governance. Where Congress is, governance cannot happen.
Modi further in his speech said that congress governments were experts in making announcements, but people never benefited from them. Congress governments neither had intentions nor the seriousness to implement plans.
“Today, we are witnessing the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Farmers in MP are receiving Rs 12,000 through this scheme. In MP, there is the Ladli Behna Yojana, and if we hadn’t opened bank accounts for women, could this scheme have been successful?” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister also pointed out that for generations, farmers in Bundelkhand have struggled for a drop of water.
These conditions arose because Congress never thought about permanent solutions to the water crisis.
After the country gained independence, the first thing that was done was Jal Shakti and who thought about it? The truth was suppressed, was it kept hidden and in the intoxication of giving credit to one person.
Speaking on the 100th birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Prime Minister said that it is an inspiring day for all.
“Today marks the 100th birth anniversary of Bharat Ratna Atal ji. For years, he has taught many activists like me. Atal ji’s contribution to the country’s development will always remain etched in our memories.”
In Madhya Pradesh, the construction of over 1100 Atal Gram Seva Sadans is starting today, and the first instalment for this has already been released.
