The MLA also shrug off rumours being spread on social media, saying that they (rumours) are not based on facts and asserted that a record has been set by the Henglep constituency as the area with the largest number of beneficiaries with 222 people getting the government scheme cards as compared with others.
He assured that those who are not in the beneficiary list as of now will be included in the next phase after completion of process for the schemes and urged them not to lose heart.
