Union Home Minister Amit Shah took a sarcasm at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.
Pune: Union Minister Amit Shah said on Saturday that under the Prime Minister’s Housing Scheme i.e. PMAY, these families have fulfilled their long time to get their own home due to their acceptance letter to 20 lakh beneficiaries in a single day. Shah said in the presence of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar that this is a rare opportunity when 20 lakh beneficiaries have experienced the joy of being the owner of their homes simultaneously. In this program, the first installment under the scheme was also transferred to the accounts of 10 lakh beneficiaries.
‘Second phase was approved in the first cabinet meeting’
In the program, Shah took a sarcasm at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for negative statements on the initiatives of the central government and asked him to see ‘Modi’s magic’ himself. Appreciating Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that the second phase of PMAY was approved in the first cabinet meeting after the NDA government came to power for the third consecutive term. Shah said, ‘Today is a very important day, because under this scheme, 20 lakh families have got their first house. Although the schemes take time to implement, the Fadnavis government has successfully ensured that 20 lakh beneficiaries got houses under PMAY and 10 lakh beneficiaries received the first installment in their bank accounts.
‘… then Rahul Baba made fun of this scheme’
Shah said, ‘At this time I am missing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. When Modi ji started the Jan Dhan Yojana, Rahul Baba had made fun of this scheme and asked what would be deposited in these accounts. Rahul Baba, see Modi’s magic today. With just one click, the first installment was easily transferred to the accounts of the beneficiaries. He said that when Chief Minister Fadnavis called him and told that under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, 20 lakh beneficiaries would get acceptance letters, they stood up. He said that with the joint efforts of the state and central government, these families have come true for a long time to get their home.
‘A total of 5 crore houses will be built under PMAY by 2029’
The Union Home Minister said, ‘If there is a state that has built the most houses under PMAY, then it is Maharashtra. Apart from the housing, the Prime Minister has ensured that every house has toilets, protecting their self -esteem. Apart from housing, people are getting access to toilets, solar energy and gas cylinders. The Union Minister informed that a total of 5 crore houses will be built under this scheme by 2029, out of which 3.80 crore houses have been allotted. Shah said, ‘Modiji has resolved to make India a developed nation by 2047. A true developed nation means the progress of every citizen. ‘
‘Home Minister Shah thanked the people of Maharashtra’
Shah said, “When a family gets his home, toilet, gas cylinder, health insurance of Rs 5 lakh and 5 kg of grain per person, this is the real definition of a developed nation.” Speaking at the event, Shah thanked the people of Maharashtra that he won the Mahayuti with BJP, Shinde -led Shiv Sena and Ajit Pawar’s NCP in the assembly elections. Shah said, ‘Mahayuti came to power with your blessings and the BJP-Shiv Sena-NCP government was formed. By giving historical mandate, the people of Maharashtra also gave a clear decision of who Shiv Sena and who NCP is real. (Language)
