Speaking about a ration scheme, he also said, “The government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi has decided to provide free food grains, including wheat and rice, to all the 15 crore Antyodaya cardholders until Holi. The government has taken the responsibility of taking care of the poor and marginalised people.”
