He said every eligible poor of Bihar will get a house under PM Awas Yojana.
Outlining the steps taken for women empowerment, he said that women got respect under the NDA government, which has made continuous efforts to increase the number of Lakhpati Didis and ensure the respect and self-reliance of women.
