From where is MVA going to get the money to implement ‘Panchsutri’: Ajit Pawar

Days after the Maha Vikas Aghadi on Wednesday promised the ‘Panchsutri’ or ‘Five guarantees’ programme to the people of Maharashtra, Nationalist Congress Party leader and deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar on Friday raised the question from where the MVA is going to get the money to implement this programme. Earlier, the Congress had announced a loan waiver and free electricity but rolled back on its promises claiming it did not have the money. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday announced the ‘Panchsutri’ programme for the people of Maharashtra under which the MVA has promised ₹3,000 per month and free travel to all the women in the state, loan waiver up to ₹3 lakh to farmers, ₹4,000 per month to unemployed youth, and ₹25 lakh health insurance cover for every family in the state. We introduced some schemes like ₹1,500 per month for women under the ‘Ladki Bahin Yojana’ which requires ₹45,000 crore per annum.
