Modi Govt: BJP leader Chishti claims, minority communities benefit the most from welfare schemes in Modi government

Sufi MK Chishti, national general secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s minority cell, has claimed that Muslims and people from other minority communities have benefited the most from welfare schemes during the last nine years of the Narendra Modi government. A rally was organized in Bhiwandi city of Thane district of Maharashtra on Saturday to highlight the work done by the Modi government. Addressing the rally, Chishti criticized the Congress and claimed that during its 50 years of rule, it only gave assurances to the people but did no work on the ground.

Chishti said people from Muslims and other minority communities have benefited from various schemes of the Modi government, including schemes related to housing, health benefits and farmers’ welfare. He said, till 2014 only 4.5 per cent Muslims were government employees and in the last nine years this figure has gone up to 10.5 per cent.

He said that the BJP and the Modi government do not discriminate among people on the basis of caste, creed and religion. Chishti said, Modi is the only Prime Minister who has been given the maximum number of awards by Muslim countries. He said, our motto is ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas’.
