He further said that everything is available for free, no money is spent, not even a single rupee, it is spent on empty salt. Okay, it is a good plan, the benefit is that we are getting our stomachs filled, it is a good plan.
Deepak present there said that there are four people in my family, I get 20 kg of food grains for every four, 5 kg per person. Whatever is the plan of the government, sometimes 2 kg rice is available and sometimes 1 kg rice is available. We have been taking this since the Corona period, it is available for free, it is good, the general public who is not able to buy it will get something through the government, now they will start getting extra in it, there are benefits for the malnourished children and those who are poor. He has a family and is unable to provide nourishment. It is good for them that extra grains are going to their homes. They are not being allowed to face shortage of food anywhere, whatever is the target of the month, it is very helpful in achieving one month’s food grain, it is very beneficial, it is a very good Modi government scheme.
Woman praised Modi government
Hamida Begum said that we have come to buy wheat and rice, we are five, we get 35 kg, we have yellow permit, we have no means of earning, we get a little support, we get a lot, we get 35 kg, we are five people. It happens that a boy is an earner, no money has to be paid for sure, he is getting it for free, there is no problem, Modi’s plan is very good, thank you very much. Similarly, Shabnam, Rashida and Vinay Kumar, who came to take ration, also praised the government and called the scheme a good scheme.
Minister welcomed the plan
Madhya Pradesh Government Cabinet Minister Vishwas Sarang said about this scheme that it is a very welcome step. Modi ji has once again established that any scheme of the Central Government is not just a matter of formality. Congress always talks negatively about any scheme. If food grains are being given for free then it is not just for ritual purposes but the government is also concerned about whether it is nutritious. Now if we talk about fortified rice, nutrients are definitely added to it. Elements like Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid make it very nutritious which is good for children and also very good for the general public, especially those who are around us all the time.
He further said that Narendra Modi ji does not just rule on the chair, he implements every scheme as the guardian of the family of the people of this country. Giving free food grains and clothing grains is very welcome. Modi ji’s positive attitude towards the public. This is an introduction to the policy of running a sensitive government. The cabinet has taken this decision yesterday, 80 crore people are getting it. Now, in a country of 130 crore people, what can be bigger or less than this by giving free food grains to 80 crore people and this will continue till 2028.
