JAMMU, July 28: The Modi Government has achieved remarkable success in curbing corruption and ensuring the efficient implementation of Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT) schemes. This notable accomplishment highlighted the transformative efforts made by the present Government in eradicating pilferage and establishing transparency in benefit distribution.
This was stated by Kavinder Gupta, senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister while addressing a joining programme at the party Headquarters here, today. Baldev Singh Billawaria, Deputy Mayor Jammu and Vinay Gupta former president Jammu district were also present.
The BJP leader highlighted that the previous Congress Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi himself admitted that only a small fraction of the funds meant for beneficiaries actually reached them, with the rest being siphoned off. However, the Modi Government has successfully put an end to this practice and ensured that the benefits reach the intended recipients promptly and transparently, he said.
In a scathing criticism of the previous Congress regime, Kavinder highlighted how corruption flourished under their governance. He asserted that the Congress-led Government failed to take decisive action against corruption, leading to a lack of accountability and transparency in various sectors. “Under the Congress regime, corruption thrived and went unchecked. The lack of accountability and transparency in their governance eroded public trust in the system,” he stated.
Kavinder emphasised the contrasting approach of the present BJP-led Government, led by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, in tackling corruption. He commended the Government’s unwavering commitment to clean governance and its efforts to bring about systemic changes to curb corruption.
Kavinder asserted that today the effective implementation of DBT has not only minimized leakages and pilferage but has also increased the accountability of welfare schemes. This has resulted in significant progress in reaching out to the most vulnerable sections of society and uplifting their lives through various social welfare initiatives, he added.
Earlier, Kavinder Gupta also welcomed Congress workers, including five Panchs, along with their supporters of Village Dharap, into the BJP fold during the event.
