Four and half years ago only 20% families had a gas connection, now it has crossed 70%: PM Modi in Odisha #UjjwalaYojana

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi addressed a public meeting in Khurda, Odisha. Addressing a rally, PM Modi said that the BJP government’s motto in Odisha is to ensure all round development of the state.

The PM remembered former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and said that when Atal Ji was heading the government at the Centre, he had undertaken the task to connect every village via roads. In this context, he shed light on how the BJP-led NDA government at Centre was sparing no efforts to enhance connectivity across the state.

Speaking at length about the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, PM Modi cited how the initiative had benefited lakhs of people but since it was not implemented in Odisha, people of the state could not benefit. “Today people of Odisha are asking why the state government has not accepted Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana. If Odisha had implemented this scheme, people would have gotten free medical care across the country,” said PM Modi. 

PM Modi highlighted the benefits of several central schemes. He said that under Ujjwala Yojana 35 lakh gas connections were given to women in Odisha. “Four and half years ago only 20 per cent families had a gas connection, now it has crossed 70 per cent. In near future everyone should have a gas connection and we’re working in that direction”, said PM Modi.

The Prime Minister said that the NDA Government was giving special priority to the Odisha and it was making efforts to further prosperity in the region. “The central government is committed to the overall development of Odisha. All steps are being taken from infrastructure to the common man’s development and I assure you that this work will continue,” PM Modi said addressing the gathering.
