nirmala sitharaman: ‘poor, middle class benefit from government schemes, don’t go’

New Delhi: Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman responded to the discussion on the budget in the Rajya Sabha. Our government is doing a lot for the poor. However, nothing is being done, the opposition has become accustomed to presenting facts in such a way, the finance minister alleged. “We are running the scheme,” Sitharaman said. Sitharaman slammed the Congress for trying to encircle the government on various issues. Our schemes are benefiting the poor and middle class. Tola Sitharaman told the Congress not to go.

Our schemes directly benefit the poor and the middle class and not the capitalists and the Javanese. Who will get the benefit of PM currency scheme, is Javaya getting it? Congress MPs got into a commotion when Sitharaman said that. The son-in-law is in every house. But Jawai is a special name in the Congress, Sitharaman said.

The 2021-22 budget is for a self-reliant India. The government is working for every element of society. The allegations of satanism and capitalism are baseless, said Sitharaman.

He responded to the opposition’s allegations. Whether poor or entrepreneur, the government is working for every class of people. It is baseless to accuse us of capitalism. Under the Saubhagya Yojana, building roads in villages, supplying electricity to every village, depositing money in the accounts of small farmers, is for all the poor. Not for the capitalists, she said. This budget is for a self-reliant India, he reiterated.

“The budget focuses on sustaining medium and long-term sustainable economic growth with immediate assistance,” she said. He clarified that the allocation for -22 has been reduced by Rs 10,000 crore.

The use of funds provided under MGNREGA has increased in our government. The allegation that the government has reduced the provision on protection is not factual. In this budget, more than 18 per cent of the capital expenditure of the defense sector has been allocated. In the previous budget, provision was made to cover the arrears of the One Rank One Pension Scheme. Which was not necessary at this time, said Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
