30 lakh beneficiaries of dole ineligible: Suvendu flags irregularities in 'Mamata's Lakshmir Bhandar' scheme

30 lakh beneficiaries of dole ineligible: CM Suvendu flags irregularities in 'Mamata's Lakshmir Bhandar' scheme


Suvendu Adhikari said the government had received complaints that absent, shifted, deceased and duplicate electors, whose names had been permanently deleted from the electoral rolls during the SIR and did not appeal before the tribunals or under the CAA, were availing of the benefits of the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme










"Initially, we planned to verify the list of Lakshmir Bhandar beneficiaries and start paying money to the women under the Annapurna Yojana. 

But we have received complaints that the names of lakhs of ineligible women were included in the list of beneficiaries. 

"Preliminarily, it appears that the figure could be around 30 lakh. The actual figure would become clear once the filled-in forms are returned,” the chief minister said while launching the application forms for the Annapurna Yojana.


"As many as 30 lakh ineligible people could be among around 2.21 crore women who receive monthly financial grants under the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme" 


The chief minister said the government had received complaints that absent, shifted, deceased and duplicate electors, whose names had been permanently deleted from the electoral rolls during the SIR and did not appeal before the tribunals or under the CAA, were availing of the benefits of the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme. 

Moreover, the list included lakhs of fictitious, non-existent, non-Indians and ineligible beneficiaries.


'This happened because of a lack of interest or effort to verify the applicants. 

We had to launch the forms so that we get a clean and error-free list of beneficiaries,” said the chief minister.


The form would be an elaborate one to get the details of the family of the beneficiaries so that more benefits under several other government schemes could be extended to the families.
