Prime Minister Narendra Modi is now addressing a rally in Madhya Pradesh's Dhar.
Rashtriya Lok Dal joins the BSP-SP alliance in Uttar Pradesh. Our workers will work hard to ensure victory of the alliance on all seats of the state, says Jayant Chaudhary.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on the second day of his two-day tour of his home state Gujarat, visited the Annapurna Dham Trust in Gandhinagar's Adalaj. PM Modi laid the foundation stone of Shikshan Bhavan and Vidhyarthi Bhavan. He also addressed the gathering there. After that, PM Modi launched the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan Yojana or PM-SYM. At Gujarat's Vastral, PM Modi marked the launch of the pension scheme for the unorganized sector workers, the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan, through the online fund transfer to beneficiaries.
PM Modi also distributed the PM-SYM pension cards to select beneficiaries.
The PM-SYM along with the health coverage provided under 'Ayushman Bharat' and life & disability coverage provided under 'Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana' and 'Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, will ensure comprehensive social security coverage for the workers in the unorganized sector at their old age.
After his Gujarat tour ends, PM Modi will head to Madhya Pradesh's Dhar, where he will address a mega-rally of tribals. The event was slated for February 15, but was postponed in wake of the Pulwama terror attack.
BJP chief Amit Shah will also be addressing today the launch and inauguration of schemes and booth workers program at Godda, Jharkhand.
In other political developments today, Congress' Sheila Dikshit said there would be no alliance with AAP, after Rahul Gandhi met with party leaders.
