He said providing a home for each poor family, women empowerment, welfare schemes for farmers, empowering lower caste people, skill and employment, schemes for poor families, education, health, cultural and good governance were revolutionary steps taken by his government.
Chouhan announced to provide the ‘Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana’ for the poor people to ensure housing for all in the state.
“We have decided that no poor person should be without a roof in the state. We have constructed 44 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Besides, 22 lakh more houses are to be constructed under Awas plus,” he said.
“Earlier, until 2003, law and order situation was poor. Naxalites had cut the throat of a minister (under Congress government), but we have eliminated them, besides uprooting SIMI (Students’ Islamic Movement of India) in the state,” he added.
Comparing the BJP’s governance in the state to the previous Congress regime, Chouhan said the per capita income has now reached to Rs 1.40 lakh from Rs 12,000 in 2003.
