try to ridicule Yuva Shakti card

A day after TMC launched their second promise to the people of Goa, the ‘Yuva Shakti’ card, an unprecedented initiative for the youth where they can avail a collateral-free credit facility of upto Rs 20 lakh, BJP tried to mock the TMC after the scheme got great response on-ground, Trinamool stated in a press release.
In the press release, TMC said that the BJP took to social media to attack TMC and claimed that an ‘advertising agency’ was trying to rebrand BJP’s earlier schemes. But what’s alarming is that BJP is unaware of the details of their scheme and are in fact trying to fool the Goan electorate.
The TMC in its release further states that in a fact-check done by TMC, it has been found out that BJP’s ‘Chief Minister Rozgar Yojana’ provides credit to youth at an interest rate of 8% and that too only to those with immovable assets of more than Rs 6 lakh. Not just that, a residence certificate of over 15 years is also mandatory. These criteria make it close to impossible to even apply, let alone avail of any benefits. Compare this to Goa TMC’s scheme and you will find that it is a collateral-free credit facility of up to Rs 20 lakh which is given at an interest rate of only 4% to anyone between the age of 18-45 years.
BJP’s attack on the TMC is proof of the fact that the BJP is scared of the overwhelming response that TMC and its schemes are getting. The attack by BJP is also proof of the fact that the BJP is non-serious with regard to the state’s biggest problem “ that of unemployment among the youth. By mocking the TMC, the BJP has mocked the youth of Goa, the TMC said.
