Khandwa (Madhya Pradesh) [India], September 6 : Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has slammed the Congress and said that they did not give roads and electricity to the state.
CM Chouhan made the remark while addressing at Jan Ashirwad Yatra program in Khandwa district on Wednesday.
"What did Congress give? They didn't give roads and electricity. Who gave water to the people of Khandwa district? Our government made the policy and connected 80 percent of the state's farms with irrigation facilities. Irrigation is being done not only by canals but also by pipes. Jawar Micro Lift Scheme, Chhaigaon-Makhan, Khalwa Micro Lift have an important role in enhancing the irrigation facility of the area,” CM Chouhan said.
He added that soon the foundation stone of Rs 1385.73 crore Jhirniya scheme and Bhoomi Pujan of Rs 3,715 crore Morand-Ganjal project will be performed.
“I salute the people of Khandwa, you have sacrificed a lot, Indira Sagar Dam was built here and today I am proud to say that if there's a hub of electricity in MP and in the country now, it is Khandwa. Electricity is being generated from water, coal and Sun," Chouhan said.
The chief minister also said that in Burhanpur, relief amount was made available to the farmers at the rate of Rs 2 lakh a hectare during the crisis facing banana crop. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the state government would do everything to drive away miseries.
“Loan waiver to the farmers, assistance and guidance to the youth for employment, providing many facilities to the students is continuously paving the way for their progress. Those who have not got a house under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana in the state, will be provided housing facility under the Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana. The aim of our government is to change the life of the poor,” the CM said.
Madhya Pradesh should progress continuously with the double engine government and India should become a world leader under the leadership of PM Modi, he added.
