Women of Chhattisgarh will get the money of Mahtari Vandan Yojana on March 7. The scheduled program has been changed to March 8. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually join the program organized across the state and transfer money to the accounts of women.
For this, programs are being prepared in almost all the districts of the state. Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai will also be present in the program. The Prime Minister will address women with this. In the assembly elections, BJP had promised to give Rs 12,000 annually to married women.
Now, a few days before the Lok Sabha elections, Modi will send installments of Rs 1,000 to the accounts of women. The department is preparing the final outline of the program.
More than 70 lakh applications received under the scheme
To avail the benefits of Mahtari Vandan Yojana, 70 lakh 26 thousand 352 women from across the state have filled the application form. The last date for filling the form under the scheme was February 20. After filling the form, the departmental officials scrutinized the application and released the interim list of applicants on Saturday.
According to departmental officials, forms of 70 lakh 14 thousand 581 applicants have been selected. Forms of 11 thousand 771 applicants have been rejected.
Congress called the scheme a game of commission
Raising questions on the policy of the state government on the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, State Congress spokesperson Vandana Rajput said that under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, the Women and Child Development Department had informed that 74 lakh forms were filled by women.
According to the list that comes in Anganwadi, the names of only less than 27 lakh women are being said to be eligible for Mahtari Vandan Yojana. The women of the state want to know why almost 80 percent women have become ineligible from the Mahtari Vandan Yojana.
Congress has raised the question and said that the Sai government had laid a trap of parameters. Women prepare their marriage certificate, PAN card and other types of documents, stand in long queues, endure the hustle and bustle from one office to another and fill the form after fulfilling the criteria of Mahtari Vandan Yojana.
Rs 20 for the form in the name of Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Were taken and in the name of submitting the form, Rs 50-50. Were taken. Even after that, it is a conspiracy of BJP to deprive almost 80 percent women of the benefits of Mahtari Vandan Yojana.
State Congress spokesperson Vandana Rajput accused the state government and said that in the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, women of the Bharatiya Janata Party have been given more priority. That is why today almost 80 percent of women become ineligible even after fulfilling every criteria.
BJP said- Congress is facing problems
State General Secretary of Bharatiya Janata Party Sanjay Srivastava has said that BJP, while in opposition, had announced to give Rs 1000 per month i.e. Rs 12000 annually to all the women under Mahtari Vandan Yojana. As promised, the BJP government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnudev Sai, is preparing to release funds for the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Supplementary budget has also been presented for this.
Congress is feeling pained to see the women of Chhattisgarh becoming financially strong due to the amount of money that the women of Chhattisgarh are receiving as a mark of respect. He said that Congress has always been anti-women. Congress has never lagged behind in insulting women.
BJP State General Secretary Sanjay Srivastava said that BJP in its manifesto promised to give Rs 1000 per month to women under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana, whereas there was no such scheme in the Congress manifesto.
After the BJP’s manifesto, the Congress party hastily made a plan to release funds to women and announced to give more funds than the BJP. Even after investing more money in the Congress Party’s scheme, the women of Chhattisgarh trust the Bharatiya Janata Party, because the women are confident that the BJP fulfills the announcements it makes for women.
According to Sanjay Srivastava, Congress had cheated women in its public manifesto 5 years ago by saying that it would completely ban liquor in the state. Congress had announced to ban liquor by swearing on Ganga water, but instead of banning liquor, it filled its coffers by making liquor a source of illegal income.
