"The BJP alleged that the government would fail to fulfill the promises given. We have allocated funds in the budget for five guarantees. We have given equal plans to all, regardless of caste, religion and party. We have given plans for girls to gain economic power. The central government did not cooperate with us for the distribution of 10 kg of free rice. We have paid for instead of five kg", he said.
