Madhya Pradesh Election 2023
Early Rakshabandhan presents arrived for beneficiaries underneath the CM Ladli Behna Yojana in poll-bound Madhya Pradesh as they obtained Rs 250 over and above their month-to-month dole of Rs 1,000 underneath the scheme. The state authorities mentioned this was a particular allowance from chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for 1.25 crore ladies.

The rakhi shock doesn't finish right here. Whereas beneficiaries will obtain the common payout of Rs 1,000 on the tenth of subsequent month, this quantity shall be elevated to Rs 1,250 from October as was first reported by .

Addressing a big gathering of ladies in Bhopal’s Jamburi Maidan on Sunday, Chouhan mentioned, “Aaj, abhi, isi kshan, single click on se, tumhare khate mein, mai rakhi ke liye dhaiso rupaye dalne ka kaam kar raha hun (Proper this second, in a single click on I’ll be sending you Rs 250 for rakhi).”

Holding a small button, the chief minister walked among the many ladies as he clicked Rs 400 crore away. “I promised you that I'm arranging cash and, as and when it occurs, I'll improve this month-to-month quantity. Did I or did I not say that? Now pay attention my sisters, I promised you that I'll first improve it to Rs 1,250. After I deposit Rs 1,000, it prices Rs 15,000 crore. Every month, I must deposit Rs 1,200 crore. If I improve it to Rs 1,250 then I should deposit an extra Rs 400 crore each month. I've organized the cash. This month, you're getting that quantity taking this (rakhi present) into consideration. However from October, financial institution accounts of my sisters will get credited with Rs 1,250 each month,” he mentioned.

If that was not all, he didn't shrink back from asserting that the state authorities will reserve 35 % of its posts for ladies. Amid rising inflation, one other concern for ladies who basically run households has been electrical energy prices.

For this, Chouhan introduced that the electrical energy division is not going to drive them to pay up. He additionally promised that he's working to make sure that the ability payments of “poor sisters” is just Rs 100. However, he didn't make it clear if it can include riders. What he did clarify is that he needs ladies – his goal group – to understand the large fiscal balancing he has needed to do to get them these “freebies”.

The CM’s announcement of LPG cylinder at Rs 450 within the ongoing Sawan month will certainly work as a balm for ladies from economically weaker sections, or so the BJP expects. Nonetheless, he has not clarified if the subsidy shall be out there even after this month or not.

Earlier, MP BJP media cell head Lokendra Parashar informed , “The goal for the month-to-month quantity of Ladli Behna Yojana is to succeed in Rs 3,000 per thirty days for 1.25 crore ladies. The Shivraj Singh Chouhan-led authorities will attain that mark earlier than November.”

The meeting election is anticipated to be held in November. The urge to fast-track efforts to make the BJP’s ‘freebies’ look extra enticing appears to be guided by tall claims made by Congress chief Priyanka Gandhi at a rally in Madhya Pradesh in June. She had reminded the folks how the Congress authorities had saved its “promise to the folks of Karnataka”, the place it swept to energy changing the BJP.

“Each month, ladies shall be given Rs 1,500. Gasoline cylinders shall be out there for Rs 500 and 100 items of electrical energy shall be free. The price of 200 items shall be halved. The previous pension scheme shall be carried out in Madhya Pradesh and poor farmers in heavy debt will get an entire mortgage waiver,” she had mentioned through the rally.

It's broadly perceived that a weakening Congress managed to win two states – first Karnataka after which Himachal Pradesh – using on its ‘freebie’ promise that the BJP claims to have shunned to this point. The saffron camp is unlikely to additional take that threat with the 2024 Lok Sabha elections lower than a 12 months away and all state elections having a direct bearing on it.
