CHANDIGARH: The 11years of BJP under Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi has ushered in a period of unprecedented growth for the country. Bharat has become the 4th largest economy in the world . Said State Party President Sunil Jakhar at a press conference here today.
Jakhar while lauding the 6.5 phenomenal growth rate of the country said that our nation has crossed even Japan . This is no coincidence but absolute commitment to work on policies , principles and prioritise to ensure that decisions which usher in change for the county were taken in the last 11 years.
The State Party President while recalling the various achievements in the last 11 years of the Bharatiya Janta Party rule said that it was a great achievement that 81 crore people were being given free rations, 55 crore had been given health insurance advantages, 4 crore houses for the disadvantaged were built, 50 crore households were provided drinking water facilities and crores of toilet’s have been built across the nation.
Mr Jakhar reasoned that 6.5 growth rate has led to Industrial growth which has translated into employment for the citizenry of the nation . “ The infrastructure of the nation be it the extensive construction of Highways , Bridges has changed the entire landscape in the country ushering in progress and prosperity . 55000 kilo metres in Highways and Expressways is a phenomenal achievement. “
Hailing the vision of Prime Minister Mr Narendra Modi Jakhar said that in 2014 there were a meagre 8 AIIMS in the country today we have 24 , 3 times more in 11 years. In Punjab we have a AIIMS in Bhatinda which is a huge medical facility and soon more hospitals of this level will be established in other towns in the state. He said.
Speaking on the significant achievements the State Party President of Bharatiya Janta Party said that making the North East seven sister states as an Integral part of the country was no small achievement . While on Triple Talaq he said that Only Mr Narendra Modi could have the conviction and integrity to implement justice for women. A law which even Islamic states do not apply was being practiced in our country.
Mr Jakhar emphasised that women rights and equality were a keen concern of the Bharatiya Janata Party and the women reservation bill was a historic bill to be passed.
The social fabric of the country in the last 11 years has become more pronouncedly progressive and equality and distribution of wealth and opportunity for all is not a pipe dream but a reality. The ease of living and ease of doing business has improved the lives of millions. The substantial increase in MSP has led to increased income in Punjab as we are primarily an agricultural economy. The food grain purchase this year so far has been 68, 771 crore while in 2014 it was 32, 211 crores.
Answering a query on Rahul Gandhi that the 11 years have not seen any progress Mr Jakhar said “
The 6.5 growth rate, the 4th largest economy in the world, the development in the infrastructure, women empowerment, passing of significant bills are all to see but unfortunately if someone wants to have a “ myopic view” then it is lamentable.
Jakhar while taking a serious note on the economy and law and order situation in the state regretted that unfortunately the AAP lacked vision, commitment and integrity to address the issues.
