Bhopal, 15th Aug. To ensure housing for all in the state, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced the ‘Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana’ on Tuesday for the needy people left out of other government housing schemes, to ensure housing for all in the state.

”We have resolved that no poor person should be without a roof in the state. We have constructed 44 lakh houses under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana. Besides, 22 lakh more houses are to be constructed under Awas plus,” he said.

Chouhan stated that his government is committed to providing housing to all residents of the state.

“Several poor people come to me saying they have mud houses and also not having their name in Awas plus. We have decided to launch Mukhyamantri Jan Awas Yojana for those left in the Awas plus to provide free houses,” he said.

Chouhan stated that Madhya Pradesh was once a BIMARU (category) state.

“There were lack of amenities like roads, water and electricity. There is a huge difference between the situation at that time and now,” he said.

In 2003, the terror of dacoits ruled in north MP, the CM said, adding the government decided to eliminate them and did it within six months.

”Earlier, Naxalites cut the throat of a minister (under Congress government), but we have eliminated them, besides demolishing the network SIMI (Students’ Islamic Movement of India) in the state,” he said.

While comparing the BJP’s governance in the state to the former Congress government, Chouhan stated that per capita income has increased from Rs 12,000 in 2003 to Rs 1.40 lakh currently.

India is guiding the world under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said.
