Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s reply to Yediyurappa’s blatant lies:

Dr.Thomas (Special Correspondent)

Our Government is committed to deliver the Gruha Lakshmi scheme to every eligible family:

The allegations against our government by former Chief Minister Yeddyurappa are far from the truth.It is not true that the Gruha Lakshmi scheme has not reached half of the women of the state,in fact 1.08 crore women of the state had successfully registered for the Gruha Lakshmi scheme in the month of October.

Among these,only 9.44 lakh women were not credited with money due to reasons such as mismatch of beneficiary’s Aadhaar number with bank account, difference in applicant’s name and address,etc.

88% of the first month’s installment have been credited to the account of the registered beneficiaries.The department has already undertaken the task of identifying the eligible beneficiaries who have not been given the money,and we will successfully deliver the biggest women empowerment project in the country by transferring money to the accounts of 100% of the applicants.
