Ladki Bahin Yojana: A setback for beloved sisters? Read in detail

Harshwardhan Sapkal on Ladki Bahin Yojana: There was a discussion about giving the funds for December and January of the Ladki Bahin Yojana at the same time. It was indicated that the amount would be deposited on January 14 on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. However, since the municipal election voting is on January 15, the code of conduct is currently in effect. Congress has objected that such a decision could influence voters. Congress has demanded that the funds be given only after the election and has sent a letter to the Election Commission.

The BJP has criticized Congress on this issue. Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule accused Congress of opposing the women's scheme. He stated that while the government is depositing three thousand rupees for two months into women's accounts on Sankranti, Congress is creating obstacles.

Meanwhile, the Congress has clarified that there is no opposition to the scheme, but the only stance is that there should not be an attempt to influence women during the election period. They demand that the installment be given after the election.
