Explanation:

The Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana aimed at making LPG connections available to rural households saw a spurt in new distribution just before the 2019 general election, an RTI plea has found.

Under Ujjwala 1.0, the target was to provide LPG connections to 50 million women from below poverty line (BPL) households, by March 2020. Under Ujjwala 2.0, an additional 10 million LPG connections will be provided to the beneficiaries.
Along with a deposit-free LPG connection, Ujjwala 2.0 will provide the first refill and a hotplate free of cost to the beneficiaries.
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) is the nodal agency to implement the Ujjwala scheme.

Hence only statement 1st is correct.
