PM Modi, while attacking the previous governments, said that they delayed all such empowering schemes and had no time to provide basic facilities to the citizens.
He also said that in the 8 years of BJP’s tenure in the Centre, more than 3.5 crore poor families have got new houses under PMAY-G scheme. Hailing his party, PM Modi said that his government is committed to the poor and marginalized.
Over Rs 22,000 Crore have been spent by the government for the construction of the housing societies so far, informed PM. “We are dedicated to constructing homes for all our countrymen,” he added.
Official reports say that 48 lakh houses have been sanctioned in Madhya Pradesh so far under Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana Rural. Out of these, 29 lakh houses have been completed. The Government has spent more than 35 thousand crores on the construction of these houses. Thousands of people like Ram Kishore and Shalini Vishwakarma are very happy to get their pucca house under the Pradhan Mantri Gramin Awas Yojana.
