The state government currently transfers Rs 1,250 per month to bank accounts of women beneficiaries of this scheme, launched ahead of last year's assembly elections.
The Maharashtra government has been criticised for spending nearly Rs 200 crore promoting the 'Ladli Behna' scheme ahead of the November 20 Assembly elections, raising concerns about fiscal responsibility.
Ajit Pawar of the NCP faction accused the MVA of spreading fake news about the Mahayuti Alliance. He highlighted successful government initiatives like the Ladli Bahna Yojana, which have significantly benefited women, and refuted Opposition claims about funding issues.
Notably Sanjay Raut has been booked under sections 353 (2) (circulating statements containing false information) and 356 (2) (Defamation) of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
The "Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojna," announced on June 28 by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar during the state budget presentation, provides benefits to women aged 21-65 with an annual income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh.
CM Mohan Yadav transferred the funds for Ladli Behna Yojna and the Social Security Pension Scheme from Krishi Upaj Mandi in Sagar district's Bina.
