Jyotiraditya Scindia Critiques Congress, Highlights BJPs Support for Women and Farmers
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia emphasizes BJPs commitment to empowering women and farmers at a recent event in Shivpuri.
Shivpuri, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia recently criticized the Congress party, stating that while they claim the treasury is empty, the BJP’s resources are dedicated to supporting women, farmers, and the underprivileged. Speaking at the Chief Minister Ladli Behna Yojana fund transfer event in Pichhor, Scindia pointed out that during Congress’s tenure, there were frequent claims about a depleted state treasury. In contrast, he affirmed that the BJP government is committed to using state funds for the welfare of women, farmers, youth, and the poor.
Scindia emphasized that under the BJP administration, financial support reaches beneficiaries directly into their bank accounts rather than through intermediaries. He noted that both the central government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the Madhya Pradesh government, under Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, are continuously working to empower women, farmers, youth, and the economically disadvantaged.
During the event, a substantial amount of over ₹1,831 crores was transferred to the bank accounts of more than 1.24 crore women as part of the Ladli Behna Yojana. Additionally, over ₹200 crores in loans were disbursed to self-help groups through a single click process, in the presence of Chief Minister Mohan Yadav.
Scindia expressed satisfaction that millions of women in the state are receiving financial assistance, stating that the Ladli Behna Yojana is not just a means of economic support but a significant initiative to empower women to become self-reliant and independent. He remarked that when women are economically strong, families and societies become stronger as well.
He extended his congratulations and best wishes to all the beneficiaries of the Ladli Behna scheme. Furthermore, he noted that the loans provided to self-help groups would create new opportunities for women in self-employment, entrepreneurship, and economic independence.
The government’s goal, he stated, is not only to make women beneficiaries of schemes but also to provide them with leadership roles in the development process. He stressed that the priority is to ensure that the benefits of development reach the most marginalized individuals and that every community has the opportunity to progress.
