Ayodhya: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has written a letter and sent gifts for the 10th-crore beneficiary of the Ujjwala scheme, Meera Majhi in Ayodhya. The Prime Minister had visited her house and had tea on December 30 in Ayodhya when he was in the city to inaugurate various development programmes ahead of the Ram Mandir's grand opening on January 22.
Now days after visiting her house, PM Modi has written a letter to Meera Majhi and also sent gifts for her family. The gift includes a tea-set, a drawing book with colours and more.
In his letter in Hindi to Majhi, Modi wished her and her family members on the New Year.
"It was a great pleasure to meet you and your family members in Ayodhya, the holy city of Lord Ram, and drink tea prepared by you," Modi said in his letter dated January 2.
"After coming from Ayodhya, I saw your interview on many TV channels. It was nice to see your confidence and that of other family members, and the simple and easy manner in which you all shared your experiences," he wrote.
"This smile on the faces of crores of my family members like you is my capital, my biggest satisfaction, which gives me new energy to work wholeheartedly for the country," the prime minister said.
Modi said Majhi becoming the 10th-crore beneficiary of Ujjwala Yojana was not just a number, rather it was linked with the fulfilment of big dreams and resolves of crores of people of the country.
"I have full faith that in the Amrit Kaal, the enthusiasm of crores of people of the country, full of aspirations, like you, will play an important role in achieving our goal of building a grand and developed India," he said.
PM Modi, who was in the temple town to unveil a 'new look old' city with an airport, a revamped train station and multiple projects on Saturday, made a sudden stopover at the woman's house who holds the distinction of being the 10th-crore beneficiary of the Ujjwala scheme.
The scheme was started in May 2016 to provide LPG connections to women belonging to below-poverty-line (BPL) families.
As the prime minister's cavalcade stopped suddenly at the colony near the Lata Mangeshkar Chowk, the surprised locals began shouting "Modi-Modi". He entered Meera's house and drank tea made by her.
He enquired about the well-being of the entire family as well as that of the colony. Meera told the prime minister that she has got free gas and accommodation.
"Earlier, I had a kutcha house, but now it has become pucca," she said and expressed her happiness for being able to host Modi at her house.
