Ashok

Jaipur | Welcoming Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s announcement of minimum income guarantee to poor, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Tuesday said he has already started preparations about the scheme.

Gehlot said that the country is capable of providing such a guarantee to its citizens.

“This is a historic announcement. I have started preparations from today that how this scheme can be implemented, how this should be implemented and what model should be there for the implementation,” Gehlot told reporters here.

He said that the governments formed by the Congress in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are fulfilling the promises made by Gandhi ahead of the state polls.

“Whatever promises he made during assembly elections in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, we are fulfilling them, be it farm loan waiver or allowance to unemployed youths. The announcement of minimum income by Gandhi is historic,” he said.

“Everything is possible if a government has willpower,” he added.

Gandhi Monday promised his party would ensure minimum income guarantee for every poor person if it comes to power at the Centre, echoing the ‘Garibi Hatao’ (‘Remove Poverty’) slogan coined by his grandmother Indira Gandhi during the 1971 general elections that she won.

Government run by a dynasty cannot serve the people: BJP Chief Shah

TestHostEntry

Kanthi (West Bengal) | BJP president Amit Shah on Tuesday mocked Priyanka Gandhi’s decision to join politics and said a government run by a dynasty could not serve the people but could only provide a “majboor (helpless) government”.

He also criticised the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress (TMC) government in West Bengal and said the upcoming Lok Sabha polls would be about restoring democracy in the state.

“Narendra Modi will get elected as prime minister again after the Lok Sabha election. But in West Bengal, the polls will be about restoring democracy,” Shah told a rally here.

Mocking the entry of Priyanka Gandhi into active politics, he said a government run by a dynasty could not serve the people but could only provide a “majboor government”.

“During the UPA rule, we had witnessed huge scams such as 2G. Now the third G has jumped on the bandwagon…. Now we have Priyanka G (Gandhi). What will be the amount of the scam?

“So now, they (the Congress) want to add 2G and the third G and indulge in more corruption,” Shah said.
