Lucknow. Deputy Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh government Keshav Prasad Maurya said that if there were opposition governments, then the development plans would have been ruined by corruption.
Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya while talking to reporters at the BJP state headquarters said that the double engine government of Modi-Yogi is dedicated to the welfare of the poor. Sharing the figures of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the state, he said that the BJP government has spent about three lakh crore rupees on this. If there was a government of SP, BSP or Congress in place of BJP, then out of this about 2.5 lakh crore rupees would have been lost due to corruption. Keshav Prasad Maurya also taunted that former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi had said in Parliament that if the Congress government sends one rupee from Delhi to the states, only 15 paise reaches the beneficiary.
He said that people all over the country are getting the benefit of Garib Kalyan Yojana. Between 2017 and 2022, 44 lakh houses were given to the people in the state. At the same time, more than 14 crore people are getting free ration in the state.
The Deputy Chief Minister said that before 2017, a total of 18,000 houses were allotted in the SP government, but when the SP government was removed, the houses could not be constructed. When our government came, 44 lakh houses were provided to the people in five years. A total of 3 crore people in the country have got housing facility under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. He said that women empowerment was also taken care of in this scheme. Ownership certificates of houses are given in the name of women or in joint name. Along with this, people are being given toilets, free electricity connections, free gas connections and water pipelines are being delivered to people’s homes.
Recalling his childhood, the Deputy CM said that when it rained at night and water was dripping from the roof, he had to go with a bamboo ladder and cover his head with a sack of manure without an umbrella. Prime Minister Modi ji liberated 3 crore people of the country from this suffering, which is a big deal.
Keshav Maurya said that during the Corona epidemic, people had a crisis of livelihood. Keeping this in mind, distribution of free ration was started. Through this, 244 lakh metric tonnes of food grains have been allocated to the states across the country, which are being distributed to the people. 80 crore people across the country and more than 14 crore people in Uttar Pradesh are getting its benefits. In Uttar Pradesh, people are getting double dose of ration. Along with this, oil, pulses and salt are also being given. One kg of sugar is also being given free to Antyodaya card holders. Under the One Nation One Ration Card scheme, 10% of the people across the country have taken ration from another place.
He expressed grief over the killing of five people in Prayagraj and consoled the family. He said the guilty would not be spared and strict action would be taken.
