Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said that the state government is providing benefits of welfare schemes to all people without any discrimination.
Reportedly, Yogi has said that the previous governments (now opposition) used a ‘pick and choose’ policy to identify beneficiaries of welfare schemes, on the other hand his government is committed to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s slogan ‘sabka saath, sabka vikas’ mantra.
He added that his government is working to ensure the implementation of government schemes without any discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, religion, region and language when it came to implementation of government schemes.
He added: “The Muslim population in UP is 17-19 per cent, but their share in the benefits of welfare schemes is 30-35 per cent”.
Yogi was interrupted by the opposition while speaking. He said: “Today’s socialism has become a multiform brand—socialism of caste, socialism of family and by the time socialism comes to Shivpal Yadav, it becomes ‘pragatisheel’,".
