Annapurna Divas: PM Modi lauds West Bengal women for driving 'path of change', outlines welfare schemes Read @ANI Story | #AnnapurnaDivas# #PMModi# #WestBengal#

#WATCH# | On Annapurna Divas being celebrated in West Bengal today, PM Modi says, "A major grievance of the people of Bengal has been that over the past twelve years, the benefits of many central schemes did not reach them on time. Poor families suffered the most because of this. Now, under the BJP government, these stalled schemes are being fast-tracked. Take the PM Awas Yojana, for instance; since the BJP government came to power in Bengal, more than 50 lakh poor families have been identified to receive permanent houses under this scheme. The PM Vishwakarma Yojana has also been implemented here. Every pending scheme and stalled project in Bengal is now gaining new momentum, and the BJP enjoys the blessings of the women and the people of Bengal in this endeavor." (Video source: DD)
