Chief Minister's Relief Fund is a favourite subject for me and some things do not fit in this criteria, but since it is a matter of medical aid, there is a way out, right from the very first cabinet meeting since our government came, this government has taken care of the farmers, labourers, workers, women, students, and any of them will not be denied benefits and schemes”.
