Ahead of announcement of dates for Jharkhand Assembly elections, more than 50 lakh women of the state have received a big gift from the state government. This political decision of the Hemant Soren government before the elections is being considered a master stroke. The state government has decided to increase the amount of the Chief Minister Mainiya Samman Yojana from Rs 1000 to Rs 2500. This proposal was approved in the Jharkhand Cabinet meeting held on Monday under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Hemant Soren.
Chief Minister Hemant Soren, while talking to reporters after the cabinet meeting, said that his government does not believe in announcements, but believes in working and taking decisions. This is the reason why it has been decided to increase the amount of Mainiya Samman Yojana from Rs 1000 to Rs 2500. On the claim being made by the BJP about returning to power, Hemant Soren said that now the opposition's fantasy is not going to cook in the state.
Cabinet Secretary Vandana Dadel, while talking to reporters after the meeting, said that women and sisters will get this honor amount from the month of December. He said that the women who were getting Rs 1000 transferred to their bank accounts will get Rs 2500 from the month of December. This scheme will put an additional financial burden of about Rs 900 crore.
Earlier, BJP had announced to provide assistance of Rs 2100 per month to women under 'Gogo Didi Yojana'. But even before BJP, Hemant Soren has tried to woo women voters by increasing the amount of Mainiya Samman Yojana from Rs 1000 to Rs 2500.
