BJP works for welfare of people while Congress treats them as ‘vote bank’: Chouhan

BUDHNI (MP): Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Wednesday said his party BJP works for the welfare of people by framing schemes for them, while the Congress has nothing to do with development and treats citizens just as a “vote bank”.

Citing an example, Chouhan said “The Madhya Pradesh government sends every month Rs 1,250 into bank accounts of nearly 1.25 crore women covered under the Ladli Behna Yojana.”

“The BJP works by framing schemes for the welfare of people, while the Congress has nothing to do with development and treats people merely as a vote bank,” the former CM noted while addressing a rally in the bypoll-bound Budhni assembly constituency in Sehore district, his home turf.
