Union Minister of Finance Nirmala Sitharaman said on Thursday that Madhya Pradesh came out of its “bimaru (ill)“ status only because of the “5G mantra” of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Addressing a press conference in the poll-bound State’s Bhopal, Ms. Sitharaman said, “The credit of turning M.P. from a bimaru State to a bemisal (incomparable) State goes to the governance of the BJP government. And this governance has five sutras (principles), which I am calling 5G.” She added: “They are growth, good governance, goodwill, guarantee of Modi ji, and gareeb kalyan (welfare of the poor). These are the five sutras because of which the bimaru M.P. has today become bemisal M.P.,” the Minister added.
