Under the Swachh Bharat Mission, we have constructed 85 lakh toilets in the state. While the ruling party deprived the poor of their basic livelihood, we extended a helping hand to small traders and entrepreneurs through loans worth Rs 282 crore. Through Atal Pension Yojana, we have helped 5.6 million senior citizens achieve financial security in old age. Under Ujjwala Yojana, we have provided cooking gas connections to over 10 million households, freeing mothers and sisters from the misery of smoky kitchens. At a time when food providers are struggling to survive, we consider ourselves lucky to be able to directly support over 5.2 million farmers through the Prime Minister Kisan Samman Nidhi Scheme,” the letter further reads.if bjp After taking power in West Bengal, Prime Minister Modi claimed to build a country where women feel safe, young people do not have to leave home to work, and Bengali culture regains its glory.“I make a sincere appeal to the people of West Bengal: join this journey of development.
