No, the Shivraj Government did not refuse to give a gas cylinder to Women for ₹450 after promising
On September 15, 2023, CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan had a special announcement for the women of Madhya Pradesh. He pledged that our dear sisters would now be able to buy an LPG gas cylinder for just Rs 450. This was met with excitement and anticipation. However, things took a different turn when the Bhopal Congress, through their official Twitter account, criticized Shivraj Singh Chauhan. They accused him of deception and claimed that the government is denying gas cylinders to many families in Bhind, with a staggering count of 92,300 families declared ineligible.
The Congress tweet didn’t stop there; they pointed out that the people continue to put their trust in Kamal Nath ji. Under his leadership and the Nari Samman Yojana, every sister would receive Rs 1,500 per month and be able to purchase a gas cylinder for just Rs 500.
Apart from this, Congress leaders Gurmeet Singh Mangu and Laxman Chouhan also made the similar claims.
So, is it true that the Shivraj government refused to give gas cylinder to women for ₹450 after promising? Let’s Fact Check.
During our research, we first did a keyword search, focusing on the intriguing phrase “Gas cylinder for ₹450 in Madhya Pradesh.” During this, we came across a report from Dainik Bhaskar, dated September 15, 2023.
According to this report, an exciting development was unfolding under the Chief Minister’s Ladli Behna Yojana. It was announced that, starting from Friday, forms for acquiring gas cylinders priced at an astonishingly low Rs 450 would be available. However, to be eligible for this, one must already possess a gas connection in the woman’s name.
Umakant Umrao, the Principal Secretary, confirmed this significant change, stating that as of September 1st, gas cylinders would indeed be obtainable for a mere Rs 450. The forms for this will be filled at the same place where Ladli Behna’s forms were filled. The District Food Department was entrusted with the responsibility of overseeing this process.
Those dear sisters who held gas connections under the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana and were registered under MMLBY in the non-PMUY category, will be able to avail the benefits. Moreover, Sisters must also have their own LPG connection ID and Ladli Behna Yojana ID.
After this, we came across a another report, this time by India Posts published on september 15, 2023. According to this report, Dear sisters will now get LPG gas cylinder for just Rs 450. Apart from 1 crore 30 lakh women eligible for Ladli Behna Yojana, 15 lakh women (LPG connection holders) will also be eligible for it. Along with Ladli Behna Yojana, women beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will also be given gas cylinders for Rs 450 only.
According to this report, Registration will be done on the Chief Minister Ladli Behna Portal. Only two documents will be required, LPG connection ID and composite ID. Registration will be done at all those centers where Ladli Behna Yojana is registered. The government will collect information about eligible sisters from oil companies and display it on the portal by September 25. Moreover, Grievance redressal application will also be available to solve the problems of sisters.
Next, we decided to go through the Official Administrative Twitter Handle of Chief Minister Office, Government of Madhya Pradesh. During this, we came across a video tweet in which Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan give detailed description of the scheme of providing domestic gas cylinder to Ladli Behna at Rs 450.
According to Shivraj Singh Chauhan, to get gas cylinder in Rs 450, registration must be done first. Registration will be done on the Chief Minister Ladli Behna Portal. Along with Ladli Behna Yojana, women beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana will also be given gas cylinders for Rs 450 only. He said, Only two documents will be required, LPG connection ID and composite ID. Also Registration will be done at all those centers where Ladli Behna Yojana is registered.
According to him, The government is collecting information about eligible sisters from oil companies and display it on the portal by September 25. Plus, a grievance redressal application will also be at service, ready to swiftly resolve any concerns or issues. He then said, Eligible sisters will be given subsidy on maximum one cylinder refill per month. Dear sister will have to get gas refilled from the company at market rate only. Whatever amount is above Rs 450, the government will deposit that amount in the bank accounts of the sisters. The subsidy will also be given in their bank accounts to the sisters who refill gas in the month of Sawan from July 4 to August 31.
Hence, all these points that the Shivraj government has not denied the opportunity for Ladli Behna beneficiaries to access gas cylinders at the remarkable price of Rs 450. In fact, this groundbreaking offer extends beyond Ladli Behna Yojana, embracing women beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana also. The sole requirement for eligibility is to already possess a gas connection in the woman’s name. The registration process is still open, with just two essential documents needed: the LPG connection ID and composite ID. This initiative promises affordability and accessibility, empowering countless sisters across Madhya Pradesh.
