Modi ensured social justice in the country through welfare schemes, says Union Minister L. Murugan
Union Minister of State for Fisheries L. Murugan on Wednesday said the Congress and the DMK only made rhetorical speeches about social justice but it was Prime Minister Narendra Modi who had implemented schemes for the upliftment of the marginalised sections of society.
Speaking at a programme organised by Puducherry unit of the BJP to highlight the achievements of Mr. Modi, the Union Minister contended that the policies of the Prime Minister were aimed at ensuring social justice. “The Congress and the DMK only talk about social justice but it is Mr. Modi who ensured social justice through implementation of various welfare programmes,” he said.
Listing various development works sanctioned by the Centre for Puducherry, he said the territorial administration was given ₹1,500 crore more as Central assistance. The Centre has also agreed to provide financial assistance for constructing a grade separator and a new Assembly complex.
Party president V. Saminathan said the Opposition parties would fail miserably in preventing Mr. Modi from coming back to power. The BJP would come to power with a huge majority and Mr. Modi would be the Prime Minister of the country for the third time.
Home Minister A. Namassivayam, MP (Rajya Sabha), S. Selvaganabathy and party legislators were present.
While residents are worried over deaths due to diarrhoea in Vijayawada, officials still grapple to find the root cause. Contaminated drinking water supplied by VMC officials is the reason, insist people in the affected areas, but officials insist that efforts are on to identify the disease and that those with symptoms other than diarrhoea too are visiting the health camps.
