West Bengal CM Adhikari: 26 Lakh Annapurna Yojana Applications Rejected After Voter Roll Screening

West Bengal CM Suvendu Adhikari stated that around 26 lakh applications under the Annapurna Yojana were rejected due to applicants not being on electoral rolls. He claimed the scheme benefits 1.3 crore women, with 1.1 crore receiving the first installment. Critics argue linking benefits to electoral rolls may exclude genuine poor women.
