Major Achievements and Political Initiatives
In Parliament, an MP advocated for restoring travel exemptions for persons with disabilities and senior citizens on Indian Railways, a benefit previously available but recently discontinued. This demand had been formally raised with the Railway Minister in an earlier statement, highlighting the importance of these concessions in easing travel for vulnerable groups. The MP emphasized that restoring these exemptions would support inclusivity and affordability in public transportation.
An MP has urged for improvements in the travel conditions of ordinary citizens on Indian Railways, particularly those using general coaches. Emphasizing the need to understand the challenges faced by these travelers, the MP called for an increase in the number of general coaches to better accommodate the demand. This initiative aims to enhance the comfort and accessibility of train travel for the general population, addressing overcrowding and improving the overall travel experience.
An MP has criticized the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY), stating that its policies have benefited crop insurance companies with over ₹9,186 crores in profit over the past eight years, while many farmers struggle to access their insurance payouts. To address this, the MP demanded that the government deposit the premium amount of ₹18,000 per hectare directly into farmers’ accounts, rather than routing it through insurance companies. Additionally, the MP called for the cancellation of a restrictive circular and urged support for farmers in Ausa and Nilanga talukas who have been unable to claim their crop insurance due to administrative obstacles.
