In Maharashtra, the government is going to deposit the installments of December and January in the accounts of the beloved sisters on the festival of Sankranti. Its total amount is Rs 3000. The Congress party has written a letter to the Election Commission raising questions on this installment. In a letter to the Election Commission, Congress has said that giving money to women in this manner before voting is scheduled to take place on 15th would be a violation of the code of conduct. Under this scheme, money is going to be deposited in the accounts of about 1 crore beneficiary women.
By doing this, the beneficiary women can vote in favor of the candidates of the ruling party, this is a kind of government bribe. We are not against Ladli Behan Yojana, but the installment of Ladli Behan Yojana should be deposited in the accounts of beneficiary women after voting. On the complaint of the Congress Party, the Election Commission has asked the Chief Secretary of Maharashtra today to clarify the government's stand.
Bharatiya Janata Party has objected to this letter of Congress and said that Congress is anti-women. Maharashtra General Secretary of Congress, Sandesh Kondvilkar demanded from the Election Commission that the second installment of Laadli Bahin, which is being released on January 14, should be stopped. On this, the Election Commission has asked State Chief Secretary Rajesh Kumar to reply. The Commission has sent a letter regarding this to the Chief Secretary.
