Bengaluru: “Prime Minister Narendra Modi, before the 2014 elections, had given a false assurance to everyone of Rs.15 lakh in their kitty. However, through Congress’ Nyuntam Aay Yojana (NYAY) scheme, nearly 20 per cent of the poor will get Rs. 72,000 per year in their bank account. This scheme will benefit nearly 5 lakh beneficiaries. In the next five years we have schemes that will completely eradicate poverty in the country,” promised All India Congress Committee (AICC) President Rahul Gandhi.
In the last five years no schemes have been provided to the small traders, businessman and farmers that would benefit them. The BJP government at the Centre has worked for the development of only 15 industrialists. In the Rafael deal violating all norms, Rs. 30,000 crore has been put into the pocket of Anil Ambani. The loans of 15 industrialists amounting to Rs. three lakh crore have been written off. However, when it comes to farmers’ loans, Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley say that they do not have money to waive off their loans thus advocating a dual policy, he said.
