“Now we have also decided that every beneficiary of the Ujjwala scheme will be given one LPG cylinder free of cost as a Diwali gift,” the Chief Minister said in Bulandshahr. Adityanath said getting LPG gas connections was a difficult task before the BJP government came to power at the Center in 2014.
Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana is an initiative of the Central Government which provides financial assistance to BPL (Below Poverty Line) families for LPG connection. Talking about other BJP schemes, the Chief Minister said that 55 lakh women have become home owners under the PM Awas Yojana in UP, while 2.75 lakh toilets have been built in the state under the ‘Swachh Bharat’ initiative.
