BJP insulted women by withholding Rs 1500: Congress
Revenue and Horticulture Minister Jagat Singh Negi and Deputy Chief Whip in the Assembly Kewal Singh Pathania have said that BJP has insulted women by stopping Rs 1500 of Indira Gandhi Pyari Brahmin Sukh Samman Nidhi. BJP only pretends to be women friendly, the opposition party is completely against women power. BJP does nothing for women except taking votes in elections.

This statement given by Chief Minister Sukhu recently in Galod of Nadaun assembly constituency is welcome. BJP may oppose Rs 1500 as much as it wants, this amount will be available to women from April 2024. The first monthly installment of the scheme has reached the accounts of women of Lahaul and Spiti district. Women from other districts of the state were also to get the benefits of this scheme from April 1, 2024. The government has also approved a budget of Rs 800 crore in the cabinet meeting to implement the scheme in the entire state. Notification for implementing the scheme from April 1st has already been issued. Despite this, BJP approached the Election Commission and got the plan banned.
Taking on Leader of Opposition Jairam Thakur, Negi and Pathania said that earlier Jairam Thakur used to say every day that the Congress government was not fulfilling the guarantee of giving Rs 1500 to women, but when the government followed the Election Code of Conduct to give this amount, When he first started filling the forms, as soon as the elections were announced, Jayaram reached the Election Commission to get the scheme banned. Due to which the double face of BJP and Jairam Thakur has been exposed in front of the public.
He said that women power is ready to teach a tough lesson to BJP in the elections. Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh Samman Nidhi Yojana will bring a big change in the lives of women. They will get Rs 18000 annually, which will help women become self-reliant.
