New Delhi: The Congress is not against giving free ration to the poor people of the country. However, the country’s oldest political party objected to the way the Prime Minister announced the government scheme in violation of the election rules. The country’s largest opposition party is also questioning the rights under which the Prime Minister announced the scheme before the approval of the Union Cabinet. They claim that this decision has once again proved the Prime Minister’s ‘Jumla’. In the recent past, Modi and the BJP have repeatedly claimed that economic inequality in the country is declining. The purchasing power of the lower class, the lower middle class is increasing. “If this is indeed the case, then why is there a reference to providing free ration for five years?
While campaigning in Chhattisgarh’s Durg on Saturday, the Prime Minister announced that 80 crore people of the country will be given 5 kg of foodgrains per capita free of cost every month for the next five years. How to campaign in an election The Congress has already approached the Election Commission alleging that the Prime Minister may announce central schemes. Tmc MP Saket Gokhale has also written the letter. In retaliation, the BJP is trying to spread that the opposition is anti-poor. Therefore, they are opposing the prime minister’s decision for the poor. In this context, the Congress has made its stand clear.
They say it’s not a decision. They are against the process. Rajya Sabha MP and chief spokesperson Jairam Ramesh asked, “How can the Prime Minister make this announcement before it is passed by the Union Cabinet? That too during the election campaign,” he said, adding that rs 11 lakh crore is required to implement the scheme. Jayaram also posted the report on his social media profile. The Congress has long protested against the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojona for a different reason.
