Chhattisgarh chief minister Bhupesh Baghel will present the budget for the year 2023 on March 6.
On the prior eve of the budget, while giving a message to the people of the state, Baghel has assured that this will be a budget of 'trust'. He further said that this is the budget of the trust of the general public which has given Chhattisgarh the strength to become 'Nava Chhattisgarh'.
"This is the same trust that you have expressed on our manifesto, on our working style, and on the public welfare ideology of our state government," he added.
"We had started giving shape to Mahatma Gandhi's resolution of 'Gram Swaraj' and the policy of 'Nyay' as soon as the government was formed. Everyone is also familiar with the challenges faced in the past years. Whether it is the challenge of a global disaster like Corona or other challenges, we are proud to say that we have come out even stronger after facing all these challenges, and at present, we are one of the best economically managed states," the CM said in his address.
"It is the result of the 'confidence' of the citizens of the state that even after the recession in the country, the markets of Chhattisgarh are in a good position. Chhattisgarh has the lowest unemployment rate and has also broken records in paddy procurement across the country. New schemes have reached the tribals of remote areas in the state. Along with this, governments across the country are adopting the Chhattisgarh model of health and education," he further added.
Baghel further said that earlier people used to remember Chhattisgarh only for the incidents of Naxalite violence. "There used to be question marks regarding Chhattisgarh in the mind of tourists. Suddenly so much has changed that the people of the country are now eager to come to Chhattisgarh."
You must have seen that Bollywood actors are continuously coming to the state for shooting of films and web series, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of tourists. All this has been possible with public participation. People's perspective has towards Chhattisgarh has changed positively. Times have changed, There have been 2 big-season cricket matches in Chhattisgarh, and for the first time an international match has increased the pride of all of us. Celebrity Cricket League has also been completed successfully recently."
"Chhattisgarh's budget of trust( 'Bharose ka' budget,)which will be presented in the Vidhansabha on Monday, this will be a budget that will give a new reality to the dreams of our state," Baghel added.
"On this occasion, I thank all of you for keeping the trust in the state government. Along with this, I would also like to put this responsibility on the shoulders of all of you to identify those who have filled Chhattisgarh with 'negativity' and we shall together speed up this journey of new Chhattisgarh," Baghel further said.
