Rise in aspirations of people after democracy overthrew vote politics: Dr Jitendra
Jammu, Jan 18: Union Minister of State in PMO Dr Jitendra Singh Thursday stated that there was a rise in aspirations of people with regard to central welfare schemes after democracy overthrew vote politics and brought change in work culture at all levels.
He was speaking to media persons after participating in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s virtual interaction with beneficiaries of VBSY here.
With regard to a query about central government notification about half-day off for its employees on January 22, he said that the central government offices would remain closed for half a day to facilitate them to witness this historic event. “It was announced keeping in view the enthusiasm about “Pran Pratishtha” (consecration) event at Ayodhya on January 22 to facilitate the employees to be part of the epoch-making event,” he said.
The Union Minister said that Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra (VBSY) had raised aspirations and esteem of common citizens and brought about change in the work culture both at the political as well as at the official level.
Dr Jitendra said the VBSY also transformed people’s attitude and behaviour. He explained the change in the work culture, saying the government servants had been now delivering services at the doorsteps of citizens since the launch of the VBSY.
The Union Minister said that earlier, people had to make rounds of government departments to get their work done. "Despite making visit after visit to these departments, their work continued to remain pending,” he added.
