PM Modi visits 10th crore beneficiary of Ujjwala scheme in Ayodhya

Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a surprise visit on Saturday to the Ayodhya home of Meera Manjhi, the tenth-crore beneficiary of the PM Ujjwala Yojana, and had tea at her residence during his one-day tour of the temple city.

As Mr. Modi arrived for his cup of tea and 10-minute chat with Ms. Manjhi’s family, the entire area resonated with enthusiastic chants of “Modi-Modi.”

The PM later posted about the visit on social media, noting his satisfaction that the scheme had eased the family’s life. “I had a ‘Chai pe Charcha’ at the house of Meera Ji, the 10th crore beneficiary of Ujjwala Yojana, and her family members in Ayodhya. I felt very satisfied to know how government schemes have made the life of the entire family easier,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter), posting a video of the conversation.
