‘You have a tractor, I do not even have a bicycle’ says PM during interaction with beneficiaries of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra

Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi interacted with beneficiaries of the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra via video conferencing today. Smt Balveer Kaur,  Sarpanch of village Rangpur and a farmer from Arnia in Jammu district informed the Prime Minister that she has availed of the benefits of multiple government schemes namely Kisan Credit Card scheme, Farm Machinery Bank Scheme and Kisan Samman Nidhi Yojna.

During the interaction as someone pushed her way in the seating row where the Sarpanch was sitting, the Prime Minister, in a lighter vein, asked her to be mindful of her chair as people are coming in and new claimants are pushing. “Ab sarpanch wo hi ban jayengi”, he joked.

She further added that her village is located near the border. Shri Modi congratulated her for being the owner of a tractor that was purchased using Kisan Credit Card. The Prime Minister said ‘you have a tractor, I do not even have a bicycle’.

He emphasized the need to create awareness about attaining saturation of government schemes and suggested Smt Kaur reach out to ten neighbouring villages and spread the word. The Prime Minister underlined the belief that all the benefits reach the last person standing in the queue. The Prime Minister complimented her on having data of her area on her tips, she replied ‘Aap se hi seekha hai grassroot par kaam karna. Kaam karti hoon aur bhoolti nahi hoon.” (I Have learnt from you to work at the grassroot and not forget details of the work).

Throwing light on the purpose of Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, the Prime Minister said that it aims to learn from the experiences of the existing beneficiaries and also encompass those who have not yet availed the benefits.

When she said that people from the border area do not tell lies, the Prime Minister quipped “In India not only Border people but all Indians do not tell lies. Truth is in the nature of our nation. Only few stray people who have gone on wrong path resort to lies”
