BJP Fulfills Major Poll Promise: Haryana Government To Roll Out Rs 2,100 Monthly Aid For Eligible Women Under 'Lado Lakshmi Yojana'
Haryana's Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini
Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Thursday (28 August) announced a monthly assistance of Rs 2,100 for women under the Deen Dayal Upadhyay Lado Laxmi Yojana, reported The Indian Express.
The scheme comes as a counter to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s unfulfilled election promise of Rs 1,000 monthly allowance for women.
Saini declared, “With today’s announcement, the BJP has fulfilled another promise from our Sankalp Patra,” and attacked AAP and Congress governments for failing to deliver.
He said, “The BJP’s consistent delivery on promises is in sharp contrast to the Congress guarantees, which are nothing but Chinese goods, with no assurance or reliability.”
Targeting Mann, Saini asserted, “People of Punjab have lost faith in the AAP government, just as they did with Congress earlier,” adding that AAP’s governance model was a failure “in will, intent, and policy.”
“While the (Centre’s) Ayushman Yojana in Haryana provides health insurance benefits of up to Rs five lakh, the people of Punjab are deprived of this facility," he said.
He also pointed out that Haryana procures 100 per cent of crops at MSP.
