Despite Pandemic crisis, we did not let anyone sleep hungry: Union Minister

I pray to Goddess Mansa Devi that the expected third wave of COVID-19 does not hit the Country, says Union Finance Minister

Chandigarh, September 24: Union Finance Minister, Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman, who was in Panchkula today to attend a seminar ‘Economic Improvement and prosperity’ organized as a part of  ‘Seva Samarpan Parv’ being celebrated across the country to mark the birthday celebrations of the Prime Minister said that despite COVID-19, which can be said to be one of the biggest crisis of century, Prime Minister, Sh. Narendra Modi led government did not let anyone sleep hungry.

“Today I feel pleased to visit Panchkula. Seva bhav is the main motto of the BJP even during the Pandemic, no stone left unturned by the Prime Minister in encouraging everyone to keep working for the society at not only state level but at block and booth level as well,” said the Finance Minister.

She said that even during the lockdown period, Prime Minister took regular meetings with high-level officers to ensure empowering of every sector, poor, labourers, and migrants. Five major Atamnirbhar Bharat announcements are the result of the direct interaction, dedication and timely directions given by the Prime Minister even during the COVID-19 Pandemic, added Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.

The Union Minister said that for the past 70 years, India was working in a socialized manner.  However, since 2014, major reforms were brought to take the country out of this socialism.  Since 2014, relentless reforms are brought by the Center Government. From legislative corrections to administrative corrections, every possible effort was made to take India on the Atamnirbharta track and shifting the country’s economy from being fragile to fastest growing economy,” said Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.

She said that various digital and economical reforms have been brought in every sector. While introducing digital reforms during Pandemic, money was transferred to the Jan Dhan accounts of the eligible families through a single click. Today everyone in India has bank accounts, said the Union Minister.

“Even under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, three cylinders were given free of cost along with free ration and food during Pandemic.  DBT system was introduced for the complete eradication of  ‘ghost accounts’. Besides this, major reforms are brought in even in the Power sector,” said Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.

The Finance Minister said that transformational change of economy is our target. Skilling and making youth employment is the utmost priority of the Centre Government.

Taking a jibe at the Congress, she said that Congress has left the economy in such a dire state that the present Government is paying the price of the economic burden which Congress has left on the Country.

“Whatever we are earning, all that is being used in the development of India, from borders to oceans multimodal transport, defence corridor are being made from the revenue the government is earning. Unlike past government’s this money is not going into bank accounts of any particular family,”  said Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman.

While praying to  Goddess Mansa Devi, the Finance Minister said that she hopes that the expected third wave of COVID-19 does not hit the Country, but even it does, the Nation’s health infrastructure is geared up for tackling the same. Under the massive vaccination, drives are being launched to ensure the vaccination of each person.
