"To help the people amid coronavirus crisis, PM Modi helped all by giving 80 crore families 25 kg rice and 5 kg pulses free of cost. People who do not have ration cards were given 10 kg grain and 2 kg pulses free of cost," he said.
The minister added that 20 crore women were given Rs 1500 each, Rs 2,000 each was given to 10 crore farmers, Rs 1,000 each to three crore families and Rs 10,000 each to 50 lakh hawkers.
The Union Minister continued saying that big developments were also introduced in areas such as defence, consumer, labour laws, etc.
"Last year, Jammu and Kashmir was fully integrated with India by removing Article 370. PM Modi also removed Article 35A, Triple Talaq. The construction of Ram Mandir has also started," he said.
