When we were back in power we worked to provide water to 67 lakh houses under the tap water scheme.””Congress did not send the list of beneficiaries of Prime Minister’s Samman Nidhi and farmers were deprived of money. When the BJP government returned, they sent a list of 80 lakh people to get the benefits of Kisan Samman Nidhi.
