Union Minister Anurag Thakur said public won't accept INDIA bloc attacking Constitution, suppressing media & destroying Sanatan Dharma. He highlighted Modi govt's Skill India & Vishwakarma Yojana to train & financially assist artisans, & inauguration of 33rd 3-day sports competition in Bilaspur.
The public will never accept the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) of Opposition parties, which is attacking the Constitution, suppressing the voice of the media and thinking of destroying Sanatana Dharma, Union Minister Anurag Thakur said on September 16.
Addressing a public meeting in Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh, Mr. Thakur said the leaders of the INDIA bloc have only changed their attire, but their behaviour and character remain the same.
He described the Opposition alliance as a front of highly opportunistic and anti-people forces.
"The public will never accept the INDIA bloc, which is attacking the Constitution, suppressing the voice of the media and thinking of destroying Sanatana Dharma," the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader said.
He said due to a low income and high expenditure, Punjab takes maximum loan from the Centre, adding that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Government in the state spends ₹600 crore every year on advertising, but does not even spend a penny on sports and has done nothing regarding a de-addiction campaign.
Mr. Thakur said the Narendra Modi Government at the Centre has harnessed the talent of lakhs of youngsters through its Skill India programme.
The Vishwakarma Yojana will be launched on Prime Minister Modi's birthday on Sunday, he said, adding that the objective of the scheme is to train youngsters at the panchayat level and provide financial assistance to artisans.

This tradition had been upheld by the community for over two centuries.
