Insult to women who prepare mid-day meal in MP: Kamal Nath

Bhopal (IANS). Kamal Nath, president of the Madhya Pradesh unit of the Congress, has accused the BJP government of insulting the women who prepare mid-day meals. At the women’s self-help group conference at Bhel Dussehra ground in the capital, Kamal Nath said that in the 18-year-old Bharatiya Janata Party government in the state, not only injustice, but also humiliation has been done to the women who prepare mid-day meals.

Addressing the women of the self-help group, Kamal Nath said, “I do not want to call you cooks. You cook food and take care of children, in this way you are a social worker and build the future of the state. I listened carefully to you guys. You said that honorarium is not given properly, cylinder is not available and there are other problems. I do not go into detail of everything, but I want to make it clear that once the Congress government is formed, the injustice done to you will be removed and justice will be done to you. I am surprised to know how you have been tolerating this humiliation and injustice for so many years.

He said, “More than one crore youth are unemployed in Madhya Pradesh. The Chief Minister promises to provide employment and jobs, I want to tell him that the contract workers and guest teachers who are already working, you should give them employment, that will be a big deal. My government got only 15 months to work, I and our government introduced policy and intention. Loans of 27 lakh farmers were waived off, 1000 Gaushalas were constructed, 100 units of electricity were given for Rs.100 and other development works were also done.

Kamal Nath said that 22 thousand announcements have been made in the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government in 18 years. Seeing the upcoming elections, Shivraj has become an announcement machine and now this announcement machine has turned into a machine of lies. In the government of 18 years, farmers are upset, youth are upset, women are upset, unemployment is at its peak. There is no limit to corruption. The policy of ‘give money, get work’ is going on in the state. The Shivraj government has imposed a debt of Rs 330,000 crore on the state. This loan is not being used to provide jobs to the unemployed or to increase the honorarium of women, but is being used for contracts and commissions.
