The false political campaign of the ruling Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government against Ujjwala Yojana shows their fear about the rising popularity of the scheme among the poor families in the state, Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan.
“The false political campaign of BJD/Government of Odisha against Ujjwala Scheme shows their fear about the rising popularity of Ujjwala Scheme among the poor families in the State. I will request them to cooperate to make Odisha 100% smoke-free state and not to do politics over a sacred scheme. Let’s not forget that Odisha had 19 lakh LPG connections till May 2014 which has increased to 72.5 lakhs including 41 lakhs BPL gas connections as on today,” he said.
