The job of the opposition is only to criticize, if they had read the budget they would have thanked the government.

Keshav Prasad Maurya ji, while reacting on the state budget today, said that this budget is going to pave the way for overall and balanced development of the state. He said that this budget has resulted in development of the state and will continue to happen in future too. The aim of the government is to connect all sections – villages, poor, farmers, youth, women and businessmen – with the mainstream of development.

Taking aim at the opposition, he said that the job of the opposition is only to criticize the government. If they read the budget seriously and understand its provisions, they will have to appreciate it.

The Deputy Chief Minister also said that the MNREGA campaign has proved to be completely hollow. Prime Minister Shri Modi has done the work of stopping the looting in MNREGA in the name of Mahatma Gandhi. In the previous governments, the schemes were limited to papers only, whereas the present government is working with transparency and accountability. He said that now the benefits of development schemes are reaching the beneficiaries directly.

He said that empowerment of “Ji-Ram-Ji” (poor, soldier, farmer) will ensure all-round development of villages and bring prosperity in the state. Villages are becoming self-reliant through rural roads, housing, drinking water, electricity supply and self-employment schemes.
