Imphal, November 18 2021:
Union Minister of State for Education and External Affairs Dr RK Ranjan has stated that many benefits given to the poor people of Manipur might not have been actualised had the Congress retained power after the 2017 election.
The Union MoS said this during an e-SHRAM cards distribution ceremony held at Kongba Laishram Leikai.
At the function, Dr Ranjan continued that the BJP is the only political party that genuinely works to uplift the poor populace of the country.
Continuing that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had also launched over 180 social welfare schemes in the country, he added that beneficiaries in Manipur, however, could not take the benefit fully during the period of 2014 to 2017 as there was Congress Government at that time.

Had there been a Congress Government after the 11th State Assembly election, many beneficiaries still could be deprived of the benefit of welfare schemes, he claimed.
The Union MoS also spoke about other schemes that provide free healthcare facilities and distribute ration to the people.
Dr Ranjan further stated that e-SHRAM is a Central Government scheme that aims to make social security schemes more accessible to workers in the unorganised sector.
Kshetrigao AC MLA Nahakpam Indrajit also attended the programme.
