KOLKATA, MAY 13 Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh today accused the opposition ruled States of denying people the benefit of Modi’s schemes. He said, the most striking example of this is West Bengal where many people have not even heard of some of the public welfare schemes of the central government, which have otherwise gained enormous popularity across the country. Speaking to media persons on the sidelines of a series of BJP election meetings in the Lok Sabha constituencies of Howrah and Hooghly today, Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled that even Prime Minister Narendra Modi had in the public rally at Howrah yesterday mentioned that Howrah was at one point of time known to be the hub of industry in India.. He recalled that once upon a time, the common adage was that what Bengal thinks today, India thinks tomorrow, which in other words means that Bengal was always ahead of the other States and other regions of the country. But unfortunately, it is the other way now, he regretted. Dr. Jitendra Singh said, since most of the people- centric schemes like Ujjawala scheme to provide Gas cylinders to needy households or Swatchhta Abhiyan constituting the construction for Toilets for women and other households or PM Awas Yozna for construction of pucca houses for those who cannot afford it have not been implemented on the ground in West Bengal.
