Raipur. Modi ji’s government never discriminates against anyone. There was no discrimination even with the previous Congress government. But the government here, even Bhupesh Baghel himself did not want the people of Chhattisgarh to get the benefits of the Central schemes. His thinking was that the credit for this would go to BJP and Modi ji. In the last 5 years, 18 lakh poor families were deprived of the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Same was the condition of National Highway and Ayushman Yojana. The previous government could not implement these schemes properly, hence they had to be abandoned by the government.
On the question of working with Atal ji and Modi ji, Shri Sai said that it was my good fortune that I was in the Parliament when Atal ji was the Prime Minister. At the same time, he recognized Chhattisgarh as a new state on 1 November 2000. Even the opposition people listened to Atal ji’s speaking style with enthusiasm. He was a skilled coordinator and took everyone along. He ran the government in collaboration with 23 parties. Did many works in the interest of farmers. The Atal government did the work of providing loans at low interest through Kisan Credit Card to the farmers who were earlier suffering under the burden of loans at high interest rates. Crop insurance, about which earlier only the name was heard, was simplified, which also benefited the farmers.
Sai said that the development works done during the ten years of Modi ji’s tenure – electricity-water to every house, free ration, gas cylinder, opening of bank accounts, construction of toilets, construction of Lord Ram temple connected with the sentiments of crores of people and two signs, On the lines of Do Pradhan, Do Vidhan Nahi Chalega, he is taking many achievements among the people like removal of Article 370. In previous governments, development money was sacrificed for corruption and commission. Self. Rajiv Gandhi himself used to say that he sends ₹1 from Delhi but only 15 paise reaches the people. Modi ji has done a lot of work for the poor and has also increased their respect all over the world.
CM said that ever since our government was formed in Chhattisgarh, work is being done at rocket speed on Modi’s guarantee. Which the public is understanding. This is the reason why we are going to win the elections on all the seats of Chhattisgarh. These election results will be a lesson for Congress.
On the question of frequent meetings in other states, the Chief Minister said that he is going to campaign in Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Orissa. Where the entire environment is in favor of BJP and our resolution of “crossing 400” seems to be coming true.
CM Sai said that earlier he worked as MLA, MP and Union Minister of State, at that time the responsibility was also small. But now being the head of a state, his work area has increased and so has his responsibility. Due to which it is necessary to change the time and routine. So that we can live up to the trust of the people. The 3 crore people of Chhattisgarh have a lot of faith in Modi ji and the Bharatiya Janata Party. We are also trying our best to live up to the expectations of the public. Whatever hard work is done for the welfare of the people of Chhattisgarh is less. That’s why they are working with full energy not by looking at the time but by looking at the people.
On the question of his choice between central or state politics, Vishnu Dev Sai said that the party’s order is paramount for me. Will work wherever the order to work comes. Bharatiya Janata Party is also the one that took me here. On the question of favorite food, Sai said that I do not like anything special, I eat whatever I get like pulses, rice, vegetables, roti. Our wife lives in her own home, she takes care of her family and we are here in Raipur. Earlier too, when we were MPs, we had to stay in Delhi most of the time or among the people, due to which we used to eat food outside. For this reason, we rarely get to eat food prepared by the wife.
Sai expressed hope that if Modi ji becomes the Prime Minister for the third time, his double engine government will be successful in taking Chhattisgarh to the position which Chhattisgarh really deserves.
