Besides these, several crore rupees of benefits were also provided under other schemes, said Sh. Nayab Singh.
Congress misled voters
Criticizing the Opposition Nayab Singh said that Congress leaders claim that if they come to power, they will close the portals started by the present government. When Congress leaders talk about closing these portals, it reminds people of corruption, because during Congress' government, workers did not receive benefits, but the present state government has ensured that benefits reach every section through the portal. He said that over the past decade, our government has provided benefits to workers under the Ayushman and Chirayu Scheme. The Congress government talked about giving plots to people, but neither did they give possession of plots nor did they provide any documents to them, said the CM.
