Inclusivity and Direct Benefits
The Chief Minister further highlighted the extensive array of 39 schemes initiated by Prime Minister Modi for the welfare of the underprivileged. Emphasizing direct benefits, he assured that the subsidized amounts for women would directly reflect in their accounts, ensuring accessibility and transparency.
Accountability and Warning
Addressing the issue of malpractice and leaks in official announcements, CM Bhajanlal Sharma sternly warned those involved in deceitful activities. He assured that the government will uphold accountability, promising an investigation into any discrepancies or scams, aligning with Prime Minister Modi’s zero-tolerance stance against corruption.
Clearing Confusion and Upholding Promises
Following recent queries in Parliament regarding the promise of ₹450 gas cylinders during elections, the Central Government clarified that no such commitment was made during the electoral campaign. However, CM Bhajanlal Sharma’s recent announcement has dispelled any confusion, assuring eligible individuals of the availability of subsidized gas cylinders starting January 1.
This significant announcement by CM Bhajanlal Sharma not only fulfills a crucial electoral promise but also underscores the government’s dedication to providing essential resources at affordable rates.
