New Delhi: Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution said on Thursday that Narendra Modi’s government has always put the welfare of poor people first over the last 11 years. In a tweet, he praised the government’s work and said that several important steps have been taken to support the needy across the country.
The minister said that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership, many poor families have been able to fulfil their dream of owning a house. He also said that the government has been delivering free ration to people’s homes and covering the cost of medical treatment. According to him, these actions have made life easier for the poor and helped bring development to even the remotest parts of India.
He added that the slogan “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas” (Together with all, development for all) is no longer just a phrase—it has become a reality through the government’s work over the past 11 years. He pointed to key schemes such as the PM Awas Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, and the free foodgrain distribution under the Public Distribution System as examples of how the poor have been helped.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi also shared a post on X, calling the government “compassionate and devoted to ‘Garib Kalyan’ (welfare of the poor).” He said that the government has taken big steps to lift people out of poverty by focusing on empowerment, better infrastructure, and inclusion.
