New Delhi, November 14
Emotions ran high at a Sunday event where PM Narendra Modi transferred the first instalment of money to poor Tripura families, who are entitled to brick-and-mortar houses.
Beneficiaries ranging from single women to poor people from the minority and tribal communities expressed surprise at receiving the money instantly, with the PM criticising the past practices where people could not access benefit without paying bribes.
The PM said the double engine government of the BJP at the Centre and in Tripura was engaged in the state’s development with sincerity. “The money transferred today has given a new impetus to the dreams of Tripura people,” the PM said during his virtual speech from Delhi after transferring more than Rs 709 crore directly to the bank accounts to more than 1.47 lakh beneficiaries (Rs 48,000 each) of Tripura as the first instalment for constructing houses under the PMAY-G. — TNS
