TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ PM Narendra Modi takes part in the celebrations of the Foundation Day of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana on the occasion of his birth anniversary, via video conferencing. He used this occasion to address the recently passed farm bills which is seeing widespread protests in Punjab and UP. “The contribution of Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyaya ji to make India better as a country and society has inspired generations. The path he has shown to every BJP worker instils confidence in us.
“Previous govts used to make a complicated web of promises and laws which farmers or labourers could never understand. But BJP-led NDA govt, has constantly tried to change this situation and has introduced reforms for the welfare of farmers. “In last few years, NDA govt made full efforts to connect farmers with banks. Over Rs 1 lakh crore was transferred to over 10 crore farmers under PM Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojana. Our effort was to provide KISAN credit cards to more and more farmers so they can avail loans easily.
“All BJP Karyakartas should reach out to farmers on the ground and inform them in a very simplified language about the importance and intricacies of the new farm reforms and how these will empower them. Our ground connect will bust the lies and rumours being spread in virtual world. “The new labour reforms will transform the lives of our labour force. Till now, only 30% of the workers across the country were covered under the minimum wage guarantee scheme. Now, it will expand to workers of all the industries in the unorganised sector.”
