Political Crossfire: Schemes and Scare Tactics Ahead of Maharashtra Polls

In the run-up to the Maharashtra assembly polls, MP Chief Minister Mohan Yadav accuses Shiv Sena (UBT) of misleading voters. The dispute centers on the Ladli Behna Yojana, a financial scheme for women, with Yadav defending its continuation against claims of its closure.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has accused Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders of attempting to mislead voters amid looming Maharashtra assembly elections. Yadav claims the Shiv Sena is spreading fear about a loss in the upcoming polls.

The contention arises from comments by Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, who questioned the continuation of the Ladli Behna Yojana, a financial assistance scheme for women in Madhya Pradesh. The program, providing Rs 1,250 monthly to beneficiaries, was tagged a 'political game' by Raut, echoing a similar scheme in Maharashtra.

Yadav insists that the Ladli Behna Yojana remains robust, with funds recently transferred to beneficiaries. He underscores the initiative's significance for women's empowerment, countering claims by Raut. As the electoral battle heats up, Yadav urges voters to disregard misleading narratives.
