INDIA bloc to pay more to women, farmers than BJP gave to 'billionaire friends': Rahul Gandhi
Nov-12-2024

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said the INDIA bloc will give more money to women, youth, farmers and poor than the BJP has given to its ‘billionaire friends’.

A day before the first phase of Assembly elections in Jharkhand, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘Yesterday, the fourth instalment of Maiyaa Samman Yojana was credited to the accounts of mothers and sisters in Jharkhand. This scheme is especially helping women fight inflation and live with self-respect. That is why we have decided to further increase the amount given under this scheme’. Congress leader further said that from December 2024, women in Jharkhand will be given an honorarium of Rs 2,500 under this scheme, benefiting 53 lakh women in the state.

The Congress-Jharkhand Mukti Morcha alliance is trying to retain power in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, while the BJP is seeking to oust the ruling coalition. The assembly election in Jharkhand will be held in two phases on November 13 and November 20 and counting of votes will take place on November 23.
