Ayodhya, Dec 30: Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a surprise visit to Meera Manjhi's house during his Ayodhya tour on Saturday as he inaugurated several developments projects ahead of the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Mandir on January 22. Notably, Meera Manjhi also got an invitation to attend the inauguration event.

But who is Meera Manjhi?

This development came in light after Union Minister Smriti Irani shared the video of PM Modi's visit to Meera Manjhi's house and said Meera is a beneficiary of the Ujjawala scheme -- the 10 croreth one.


Meera Manjhi said she was not aware that PM Modi was coming to her house. An hour ago, she was informed that a political leader would come. "He came, he spoke to my family members. He asked about the benefits that we are getting in the Ujjawala scheme. Then he asked me what I had cooked. I said rice, daal and vegetables...and also tea. He asked me for tea saying thhandi me chai toh pilana chahiye na. He said it was a little sweeter. I told him this was how I make tea," Meera Manjhi said.


Earlier, PM Modi held a massive road show in Ayodhya ahead of the Pran Pratishtha of the Ram Mandir on January 22. He also inaugurated Phase I of the redeveloped Ayodhya railway station, known as Ayodhya Dham junction railway station and flagged off new Amrit Bharat and Vande Bharat trains
