“Three crore new houses have been approved in this period, with 1 crore in urban areas and 2 crore in rural areas. We have plans to provide jobs to 4.1 crore youth and free electricity to 2.5 lakh new houses have been implemented,” he said.
Highlighting tax reforms, Sethi said the Modi government raised the income tax exemption limit to Rs 7 lakh, offering significant relief to the middle class.
Other accomplishments include the investment of Rs 100 crore in space research and the approval of 75,000 new medical seats. “Rs 25,000 crore has been allocated to Self Help Groups (SHGs), and 4.5 lakh families have benefited from Ayushman Bharat, receiving free medical treatment worth up to Rs 5 lakh,” he said.
PM Modi has emerged as a global leader, with nations in conflict zones like Russia and Ukraine inviting him to mediate and resolve their issues, Sethi added.
