Narayanpur, Apr 16 (UNI) Trinamool Chairperson Mamata Banerjee today urged the new voters to vote for change in government at the Centre.

Addressing an election rally here, she said, "For 34 years, the Left Front Government had not done any work. The work we have done in the last seven years, is unmatched. Not only Kanyashree, our Utkarsh Bangla scheme has received international recognition. "


" Our Utkarsh Bangla scheme, for the training for 6 lakh youths, has received UN award. We have distributed 1 crore cycles under Sabooj Sathi scheme. This scheme has also received international recognition. We provide rice at Rs 2/kg to 8.5 crore people in Bengal, " she added.


" We have given scholarships to more than 2 crore minority students. This has empowered them to pursue higher education. 68 lakh SC/ST students have received Sikshashree scholarship. We have also started Swami Vivekananda Merit Scholarship for general students, " Banerjee stated.


" More than 7.5 crore people are now entitled to health insurance under Swasthya Sathi scheme. The smart cards will be issued in the name of women, recognising them as head of the family. We are empowering girls through Kanyashree scheme, encouraging them to pursue higher education, " she commented.


" We are also giving financial assistance to poor families under Rupashree scheme for the marriage of their daughters. We have waived off khajna tax and mutation fees on agricultural land. We bear the full cost of crop insurance for farmers, " the Chief Minister informed.
