Speaking in the Lok Sabha during a discussion on supplementary demands for grants for FY24, and demands for excess grants for FY21, the minister said it was not correct to allege that the Centre had not provided funds for welfare schemes.

"The moment you deposit states’ share in the single nodal account, Central funds are also transferred to it," the minister said.
