New Delhi: The Congress on Thursday requested why the prime minister’s announcement on extension of the PM Garib Kalyan Anna Yojna by 5 years just isn’t mirrored within the authorities’s assertion on the scheme.
Congress normal secretary Jairam Ramesh mentioned through the Chhattisgarh election marketing campaign on November 4, the prime minister introduced that the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana (PMGKAY), a rebranding of the Nationwide Meals Safety Act, 2013, is being prolonged for one more 5 years.
“But last evening, an official press release from the Modi government mentions that PMGKAY has been extended for the year beginning Jan 1, 2023, with absolutely no reference to an extension as announced by the prime minister,” he mentioned.
“So what is really happening? Why is the PM’s announcement not reflected in his government’s press note?” Ramesh requested.
The Centre on Wednesday mentioned it’s offering foodgrains freed from price to over 80 crore individuals underneath PMGKAY for a interval of 1 yr beginning January 1, 2023.
