LUCKNOW, Dec 12 : Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday called ‘Modiji’s Guarantee Van’, which is reaching every village and city under the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’, as the carrier of security, prosperity and happiness in the life of every citizen.
Interacting virtually with more than 4 lakh people simultaneously under the ‘Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’, the CM urged the people to give a grand welcome to “Modiji’s Guarantee Van’ which ever village or town it reaches. The ‘Vikas Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ has been conducted in 490 rural and 18 urban areas.
He said, “If any needy person in the village has not got the benefit of schemes like housing, toilet, LPG cylinder, free ration, Kisan Samman Nidhi, Ayushman Insurance, then bring him to the van and get him benefited from the scheme immediately.”
Yogi appealed to the people to listen to the PM’s message on Guarantee Van and get benefited by getting acquainted with the government’s schemes. He said that the aim of the government is to saturate the entire state with the public welfare schemes of the double engine government.
He said that for PM Modi, ‘Sabka Saath-Sabka Vikas’ is not just a slogan, but rather a resolution, a work culture. “In the last nine and a half years, the entire country has seen, known and accepted this resolution and seen it changing into reality, he added. Before the year 2014, the benefits of government schemes were given on a face to face basis, but during the rule of Modi ji, the poor, women and deprived sections are getting the benefits of every scheme without any discrimination,” he said.
Discussing the importance of ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’, the CM said that merely running schemes for public welfare is not enough, it is necessary that the benefits of the scheme reach the eligible person easily and on time. “Despite all efforts, there are a large number of people who have not been able to benefit from public welfare schemes,” he said.
He said, “To provide benefits of schemes to such people, ‘Vikasit Bharat Sankalp Yatra’ was started by the PM on Tribal Day (November 15) from the birthplace of Lord Birsa Munda.”
Addressing the people who have benefited from various public welfare schemes, Yogi said, “In this special yatra, an important programme on the theme ‘Meri Kahani Meri Zubaani’ is for you only. Narrate your experiences to the people gathered in Modi’s Guarantee Van. It will be inspiring for others.”
He said that joining the government schemes means bringing happiness to one’s life. Discussing the situation during the time of previous governments, he said that when the SC list was made, there were no BJP governments in the center and the state therefore a large number of people were deprived of housing and other schemes.
The CM pointed out that a fresh selection of beneficiaries in the Modi government was made and as a result, in the last 09 and a half years, toilets have been built in the houses of 12 crore people in the country, out of which 03 and a half crore are in UP alone.
He said, “Earlier, no one thought that toilets should be built in the homes of the poor. The dream of giving MSP to farmers at one and a half times the cost is being fulfilled under the Modi government. Twelve crore farmers are getting Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi. 2.63 crore farmers of UP alone are benefiting from this. As many as 4 crore people in the country and 55 lakh people in the state have got housing facilities while 50 crore people in the country have got a guarantee of health insurance of Rs 5 lakh annually under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. A total of 10 crore people in the state are connected to this scheme while 80 crore people are getting the benefit of free ration.” (UNI)
