Let me repeat it again, that there will be no change in subsidy given for any particular socio-economic purpose. We will expand fiscal for the (justice) plan


Significantly, on March 25, Congress President Rahul Gandhi had declared 'Justice' scheme for 20 per cent of the poorest of the country. Under this, such families will be given Rs 72,000 per year or Rs 6,000 per month as help. The Congress President said that on the formation of his party's government this plan will be brought to 'eliminate the poor'. At the same time, in response to questions arising out of justice, the Congress Party has said that this scheme will not be implemented as NDA government's note-taking and GST. The party also rejected claims that according to the judiciary, the country's annual fiscal deficit would be more than Rs. 3 lakh crore
