PM praises Jan Dhan Yojana on 10th anniversary; Congress says ‘rebranding of initiatives’

Hindustan Times  

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated the beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, a scheme aimed at enhancing financial inclusion across India, as it celebrated its 10th anniversary on Wednesday, expressing gratitude to everyone who contributed to the mission’s success. The Jan Dhan Yojana has also assisted other government schemes such as the MUDRA Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, and Atal Pension Yojana, all of which rely on access to banking services. The Congress, meanwhile, criticised the Modi government’s handling of the Jan Dhan Yojana and accused the BJP-led Centre of exploiting the scheme for political gains while “neglecting the needs of the poor”. The Congress said the Jan Dhan Yojana was merely “a rebranding of initiatives” originally launched by the Congress-led UPA government.
