BJP Govt Doesn’t Calculate Electoral Benefits Before Public Welfare: Piyush Goyal

Mumbai: Union Minister Piyush Goyal said the BJP government never calculates electoral benefits before public welfare. There is an environment of “pro-incumbency” in the country, unlike during the earlier regimes, Goyal added.

While holding a press conference here, Goyal discussed the work being done by the government under the ‘Social Justice Pakhwada’ of the BJP.

“The welfare of the poor is our priority. We do not consider election figures while working for the welfare of the poor. During the situation of Kovid, the Center spent 3.40 lakh crores, in which about one thousand lakh tonnes of food grains have been provided to 80 crore people at free of cost,” said the Union Minister.

Referring to the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, he said that the country runs the world’s largest food security program apart from the foodgrains provided under the National Food Security Act.

Goyal said, ‘The vision of the Prime Minister was to connect the poor with technology through One Nation One Ration Card to provide free ration to 80 crore people.

“People are happy with the government’s welfare work and the recent results of the Assembly elections in several states indicate that. Earlier, the country always felt anti-incumbency, now there is a pro incumbency witnessed in the country,” added the Union Minister.
