.@RahulGandhi has always lied&made wild allegations about this being a Suit Boot ki Sarkar,that only favours rich industrialists
Well,#PMSVANidhi scheme of @narendramodi gov,launched in May,has been a big success;It aims to provide collateral free loans to hawkers&street vendors
Street vendors suffered during #lockdown;#SVANidhi has made it possible for them to get affordable loans up to Rs10000;They don’t have to go&plead in front of officials&can easily get loans through a portal
While opposition only cries foul,@narendramodi has empowered the poorest
A large number of hawkers from Bihar too,benefitted from #SVANidhi;5 million+ street vendors whose enterprises were operational on or before 24March,will benefit; Scheme valid till March2022
Over 2.71 lakh loans were disbursed,from 3.70 lakh approved applications
My Oped of 4300 words in @eOrganiser analyses post-2005, high growth era,with GSDP@ 11.3%, with the Jungle Raaj in Bihar,in the pre-2005 era,when GSDP was just 3.19%--I dissect Bihar's economic rise from a #Bimaru State,to being an over 7 lakh Cr economy
#RetailInflation in Sep@7.34%,Vs 6.69% in Aug,is due to rise in food price index which rose from 9.05% to 10.68%,MoM
Uptick in #foodinflation is temporary &driven by #COVID related supply disruptions--We had bumper crop last year&FY21,should see bumper agri production,yet again!
By Dec,#CPI should ease& inflationary pressure will abate,due to #BaseEffect& #Kharif arrivals
Note:Kharif sowing was up between 50-88%,for most crops,despite #lockdown
With INR@73.11/$ level,threat of imported inflation is minimal
Banks have sanctioned Rs 1.87 lakh Cr,to 50.7 lakh units under the Rs 3-lakh crore Emergency Credit Line Guarantee Scheme,#ECLGS,of @narendramodi govt💪
Rs 1.36 lakh Cr has been disbursed to over 27 lakh units in #MSME sector,impacted by slowdown caused by #coronavirus pandemic
Ambit of scheme,expanded to include #MSMEs with turnover of up to Rs 250Cr&individuals for business purposes
As of 5thOct2020,Rs 17460Cr of loans to individuals have been sanctioned,of which 5939Cr has been disbursed
As @narendramodi ji completes 20 remarkable yrs of being at the helm,it is time to re-plug my book #TruthandDare,which captures everything--from the #Gujarat model of development,which saw 15% growth in 2005-06,to new age #Modinomics,which has lifted over 75mn people from poverty
Price of #NaturalGas will be determined by market forces,to increase affordability👇
It will debottleneck E&P sector& make e-bidding,competitive &transparent
Another decision by @narendramodi gov is the approval for 16.6km Kolkata East West rail corridor,that will connect Howrah on West Bank of Hoogly river,with Salt Lake City on East bank
Total project cost,8575Cr;will boost mass transit system&be ready by Dec2021 #CabinetDecisions
