The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has begun a nationwide public outreach programme to mark the 9th year of the Modi Sarkar. Designed around a three-point agenda of ‘service, good governance and welfare of the poor,’ Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman launched it here on Monday, to be taken to all Lok Sabha and Assembly constituencies of the state ahead of the next year’s elections.
“Under Narendra Modi’s leadership, the country has achieved all inclusive development. It has set a new parameter of development by bringing the poor into the mainstream,” she said, adding that 80 crore people were given food security, 2.5 crore housing units distributed and 11.72 crore toilets constructed. She highlighted the COVID-19 vaccination programme, in which 220 cr doses were administered, as one of the global successes of the government.
