Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Chhattisgarh has announced a groundbreaking initiative to provide free rice to impoverished families for the next five years, starting January 2024. The decision, mirroring Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment to extending welfare schemes, particularly the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojana, is expected to benefit more than 67 lakh beneficiaries. The Chhattisgarh State Food Security Act will serve as the legal framework for this initiative, ensuring that eligible ration card holders from various categories, including Antyodaya, priority, differently-abled, and single destitute individuals, receive free rice through fair price shops. This bold step, taken under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, seeks to provide sustained relief to those grappling with economic hardships. The Food and Civil Supplies Department, acting on the Chief Minister’s directive, has issued instructions to all district collectors for the seamless implementation of the program. Ration card holders falling under the Antyodaya and priority categories, in line with the National Food Security Act guidelines, will be entitled to the monthly distribution of food grains at no cost. The coverage period spans from January 2024 to December 2028, ensuring a consistent support system for the state’s most vulnerable populations. This initiative underscores the government’s commitment to social welfare and poverty alleviation, addressing the basic nutritional needs of citizens facing economic challenges. As Chhattisgarh takes a pioneering step in providing sustained assistance to its underprivileged communities, the move is expected to garner support and appreciation from various quarters.

News on Government

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) officially announced Bhajan Lal Sharma as the new Chief Minister of Rajasthan, following a conclusive BJP Legislature Party meeting held in Jaipur yesterday. The meeting, which commenced at 4 pm, saw the presence of all 115 BJP MLAs at the party office, marking a crucial moment in Rajasthan’s political landscape. The selection process was overseen by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Rajya Sabha member Saroj Pandey, and BJP National General Secretary Vinod Tawde, appointed as observers by the BJP to ensure a smooth and transparent selection of the Rajasthan Chief Minister. The saffron party emerged victorious in the Rajasthan Assembly polls on December 3, securing a clear majority and displacing the Congress party. Notably, the BJP’s strategy in selecting chief ministers has taken an interesting turn in states like Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh, where the party also claimed victory. In Chhattisgarh, tribal leader Vishnu Deo Sai was chosen, while in Madhya Pradesh, Mohan Yadav, the party’s OBC face and former education minister, secured the chief ministerial position. Both choices surprised many as the BJP opted for fresh faces over seasoned leaders. Mohan Yadav, a three-time MLA from Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain South, is set to take the oath as the chief minister at Bhopal’s Lal Parade Ground. In Chhattisgarh, Vishnu Deo Sai, a four-time Lok Sabha MP and three-time state BJP chief, will be sworn in as the CM at the Science College ground in Raipur. In Madhya Pradesh, Rajendra Shukla and Jagdish Devda are expected to be sworn in as deputies of Mohan Yadav. However, in Chhattisgarh, the BJP is yet to make an official announcement regarding the deputy CMs. Speculations suggest that Arun Sao and Vijay Sharma might assume these roles alongside Sai. The swearing-in ceremonies in Bhopal and Raipur are anticipated to witness the presence of political heavyweights, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath. The BJP’s choices for chief ministers in these states reflect a strategic shift, opting for fresh and dynamic leadership over experienced veterans.
