Goa Assembly Election 2022: Rahul Gandhi promises Rs 6,000 a month to every poor family in Goa
The BJP is campaigning that their government implemented various schemes for the welfare of the people.
New Delhi: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has promised Rs 6,000 a month to every family in poll-bound coastal state Goa. Congress' assurance for the people of the state comes in response to BJP's campaign on social welfare schemes implemented in the last term.
Addressing a rally in Goa, Rahul Gandhi said, "We're taking a historic decision in Goa. We will implement in Goa, for Goa's poor NYAY scheme, every month Rs 6000, 72,000/year direct benefit transfer."
"Nobody should sleep hungry. No parent must worry about their child’s education. Rs 6,000 a month to every poor family in Goa is our solemn promise! NYAY is a surgical strike against poverty, a much needed scheme for those left behind due to BJP favouring the richest few."
