BJP demands increasing Lakshmir Bhandar dole to Rs 2000

Deccan Chronicle  

Kolkata: Springing a surprise, a BJP MP from West Bengal has urged chief minister Mamata Banerjee to increase the monthly financial assistance under Lakshmir Bhandar, a poll-winning scheme of Trinamul Congress that has often been opposed by the saffron party itself, to each family. In the letter to the CM on Thursday, he wrote, “Lakshmir Bhandar could be a powerful tool for women's empowerment, but not if it remains a mere bribe to lure voters. West Bengal deserves better, and its women deserve more.” He also observed, “While the scheme has provided some financial relief, the current amount of ₹1,000-₹1,200 per month is insufficient in today's economic climate, especially given West Bengal's inflation rate. Your government claims this scheme empowers women, but in reality, it has become a mere tool to garner votes without addressing real economic challenges.” Drawing a comparison with other states, Mr Mahato pointed out, “In BJP-ruled Maharashtra, the government provides ₹1,500 per month to women under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, which serves a larger demographic and has a broader impact.
