One country, One tax, One ration card to be a reality soon: PM Modi

@narendramodi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that One country, One tax and One ration card will be a reality soon. Addressing an election rally in Delhi today, Mr. Modi said, the Government is committed towards introducing one ration card system in the national capital as well which will benefit lakhs of migrants who have relocated to Delhi in search of better jobs and opportunities. Prime Minister said that people in many states are already using this facility but due to the non-cooperation of the AAP government in Delhi many Government schemes cannot be implemented in the National Capital.

Speaking in the rally, Prime Minister Modi said that a government in Delhi should be such that it can support the Central Government's strong decisions in matters of national security. He said that criticism of landmark and crucial decisions on matters of national security only strengthens the divisive forces and undermines national image. He also said that since the enactment of CAA, people in the country have been witnessing the falsehood which is being propagated by a few people. He also accused the current Delhi government of indulging in the use of abusive language against the police personnel.

Mr. Modi said that where on one hand the nation is witnessing such behaviour of disrespect, on the other the BJP Government has dedicated National Police Memorial and National War Memorial in Delhi marking respect for the heroes safeguarding the country.

Raising a concern about non-implementation of core central government schemes in Delhi like Ayushman Bharat, PM-Awas and PM-Kisan Samman, Prime Minister Modi said that the people in other states are already utilizing benefits of such social schemes.
