PM sets example of good governance: Nadda

‘Fadnavis changed Maharashtr­a’

-

The Narendra Modi government has shown how a good governance can be delivered, Maharashtr­a Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has changed the Maharashtr­a and its political culture, said Bharatiya Janata party National Executive President JP Nadda.

Nadda was addressing opinion makers meet organised at YB Chavan centre in Mumbai on Tuesday evening.

“Modi ji is keenly reviewing the implementa­tion of various schemes. He presides over meetings of secretarie­s of various ministries and follow up the implementa­tion. The ministers see these meetings from their own cabins through video conferenci­ng and get to know what is happening in their department,” Nadda said while showering praise on Modi as an excellent administra­tor.

“The good governance is a spirit and to have a good governance you should be committed to it. Discretion has no place in good governance and you have to follow the rules and laws. Narendra Modi is running this country on these principles of good governance. Modi government is now known for its transparen­cy and accountabi­lity,” said Nadda. “When Modi ji was chief minister of Gujarat, he showed how good governance can help equitable distributi­on of resources. When the water from Narmada reached Sabarmati river, he gave power of water allocation to women groups. This ensured participat­ion and ownership of these women on water,” he added.

“Though UPA introduced and distribute­d Aadhaar card, it did not accord them a legal status. We did this and used for distributi­on of benefit transfer to the beneficiar­ies of various schemes and deposited money directly in the accounts of beneficiar­ies. The 14.5 crore farmers get 90,000 crore from central government directly in their account. In Aayushman Bharat scheme, 46 lakh beneficiar­ies medical bill amounting to Rs 7,400 crore were reimbursed to hospitals directly,” he said.

Give one more chance to Fadnavis

“Devendra Fadnavis has changed Maharashtr­a and its political culture through his good governance. Maharashtr­a was on 6th number in the sector of education at national level and he brought state to 3rd. If he gets one more chance, he will make Maharashtr­a number one in the field of education. Therefore, there is need to just renew the licence of Fadnavis government,” he said.

People of Kashmir are very happy

While defending the abrogation of article 370, he claimed that the people of Jammu and Kashmir are very much happy. “The Bakarwals and Gujjar community who are Muslim and are nationalis­t help our Army to protect the border of the country. But despite being tribals, they do not get benefits of Scheduled Tribe as there was no reservatio­n to Scheduled Tribes, he said.

“The 104 Acts enacted by Parliament were not implemente­d in the Jammu and Kashmir. Prevention of Corruption Act, Domestic Violence Act, The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) acts are also not implemente­d in this state,” Nadda said.

“Modi ji is keenly reviewing the implementa­tion of various schemes. He presides over meetings of secretarie­s of various ministries
