"He brings schemes that we had not imagined": Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria applauds PM Modi - World News Network

Chandigarh [India], June 12 (ANI): Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria, applauding Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stated that the schemes he had brought in 11 years of governance had laid the foundation for progress.
“Every person experiences what PM Modi has done for the poor in 11 years. He brings such schemes that we had not imagined. When Swachh Bharat Abhiyan started, people used to make fun of it, saying it wouldn’t happen. But look at today, it has progressed,” Kataria told ANI.
The Punjab Governor also stated how the PM’s schemes had brought people in the country above the poverty line, further stating that it was a big achievement for the country.
“We had never thought that every household would get water, but now it is happening. 50 crore people have got food grains, every household has got electricity, and Mudra Yojana- every kind of business has benefited from it. In the last few years, about 24-35 crore people have come out of the poverty line. This is a big achievement for the country,” he further added.
BJP MP Manoj Tiwari emphasised that whatever happened in the 11 years under the PM’s governance was a “sanjeevani.”
Speaking to the media, Tiwari emphasised that they are not going to stop now.
“Whatever has happened in these eleven years is a ‘Sanjeevani’, but we are not going to stop now. We are planning for at least Rs 8000 crores more in the next five years, and we are fully confident that there will be no shortage of it as long as Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister,” he said.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta credited the Central Government for significant development and relief initiatives in Delhi over the past 11 years on Tuesday, citing achievements in healthcare, infrastructure, and welfare schemes.
Speaking to media reporters, Delhi CM said, “The situation in Delhi was different during the 11 years of the Central Government’s tenure.”
Citing developments in healthcare, she pointed to the performance of AIIMS. “Just look at the hospitals today. AIIMS handles 5 lakh OPD cases annually, which helps reduce the burden on Delhi’s hospitals,” she added.
Delhi CM also highlighted the infrastructure growth, “The central government approved a road project worth RS 1.25 lakh crore.”
She further said, “The credit for the metro goes to the central government. The Centre has launched one phase after another of the metro.”
She listed various schemes implemented by the central government. “Under the Mudra Yojana, loans were distributed to the people of Delhi. Under the Garib Kalyan Yojana, free ration was provided.”
“1,731 colonies were regularised. Loans worth Rs 300 crore were given to 2 lakh street vendors. Rs 6,000 was provided as Kisan Samman Nidhi to 12,000 farmers,” CM Gupta added. (ANI)
