30 lakh beneficiaries of TMC government’s direct cash transfer scheme for women ineligible: Suvendu
West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced that approximately 30 lakh beneficiaries of the previous TMC government's 'Lakshmir Bhandar' scheme are ineligible for assistance. The ineligibility is due to reasons such as being non-Indians or having their names deleted from the voter list. The BJP government has introduced a new scheme called 'Annapurna Bhandar' to provide financial aid to eligible women, while current beneficiaries will continue to receive support until the verification process is completed.
