The year-old Narendra Modi-led government says its schemes won’t leave any sector untouched as it flicks aside a Congress charge that it was repackaging the UPA dispensation’s programmes.
With banking schemes like Jan Dhan Yojana, mass movement programmes like Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, and social movements like Beti Bachao, the government says no sector has been left untouched in its commitment for inclusive development.
“We have a very strong commitment to ensuring social security, national security and economic security,” Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi told IANS.
“No sector will be left untouched, whether it is environment, financial inclusion, or social equality,” he said.
Naqvi strongly refuted the charge that the government was repackaging the schemes of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government.
“UPA schemes cannot be repackaged because their schemes were only for corruption and scams,” he said.
“Congress must see ground realities and avoid such statements. The problems are old, and they did not solve them…,” he added.
