Lucknow, (PTI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said the governments before 2014 did not have the poor, women and the youth on their agenda and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for bringing a change in the image of the country.
“Before 2014, schemes were formulated in the country by looking at faces and often these initiatives involved no rules and regulations. The agenda did not include the poor, common citizens, women and the youth,” he said while speaking at a programme organised in connection with the ‘Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra,’ according to an official release issued here.
However, the current government is extending the benefits of various welfare schemes such as the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Swachh Bharat Mission, PM Jan Dhan Yojana, Ayushman Bharat Yojana, PM-Kisan Samman Nidhi and PM SVAnidhi to the needy, he said.
