Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on September 17 claimed that India was the only country in the world during the coronavirus pandemic that did not go give freebies but helped 80 crore people with free ration.
The Chief Minister said this addressing a gathering at Indira Gandhi Prathisthaan after inaugurating an exhibition to mark the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"India was the only country, which did not distribute any 'revrhi' [freebies] but when the need arose, free ration was provided to 80 crore people. And, more than 200 crore free vaccine doses were also made available," he said.
