The first installment of Mahtari Vandan Yojana in Chhattisgarh will no longer come on March 7. While talking to -, Women and Child Development Minister Lakshmi Rajwade said that the program is being discussed with the Prime Minister. A new date will be announced when they get time. Congress has called this a betrayal of the Mahataris.
According to departmental sources, BJP is preparing to organize a big meeting of Prime Minister Modi in Raipur before the code of conduct. Therefore, it will take time for women to get the money. Earlier the program was scheduled to take place on March 8. Prime Minister Modi was going to participate in the virtual program on Thursday also. But due to some reasons his program could not take place.
Government busy in preparations for PM’s program
Now preparations are being made for the Prime Minister’s meeting. After getting time from the Prime Minister’s Office, the date of the program of Mahtari Vandan Yojana will also be decided. The Prime Minister himself will be present among the people and release this amount to the women. This will have a big impact on the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
Sai government betrayed Mahataris- Congress
Congress spokesperson Dhananjay Thakur said that the government has cheated more than 70 lakh mothers and sisters of the state under the Mahtari Vandan Yojana. Women were harassed by first telling them the date for submitting the form. Documents were sought under many rules. Made to stand in the bank for KYC at midnight.
When the 7th came closer, the government cheated the women by extending the date. He said that in reality the government is struggling to fulfill this guarantee of Modi. That’s why he is just giving dates to women. They are holding back from depositing their installments. This is injustice to the women of the state.
