Manoj Tiwari's 'Twitter Chaupal' to reach out to voters

He said under the 'Ujjwala' scheme, 6.5 crore gas connections have been provided to empower the women and the works done by Prime Minister Narendra Modi is being talked about in every 'chaupal' of the country.

Replying to a question on pollution levels in Delhi, Tiwari said there is such a "negative government" ruling Delhi which is not ready to admit its mistakes, according to a statement.
