Three free LPG cylinders a year for poor households
“We will launch a scheme to provide 3 free LPG cylinders in a year to the women of poor households of the state.”
The verdict
The Mukhyamantri Antyodaya Free Gas Refill scheme launched on 12 Feb 2023 gives three free refills a year to about 1.76 lakh Antyodaya card holders. Small dilution: it covers Antyodaya households, a narrower group than 'the poor'. Congress said in 2026 that refills are delayed.
Rule applied: Kept with a small dilution → 9
