Lakshmi Bhandar – Various questions are being raised in various quarters about Lakshmi Bhandar. The opposition parties raise them whenever they get the opportunity. Even though they promised to give Rs 3,000 to the ‘Annapurna Yojana’ when they came to power, they expressed strong reluctance to give Lakshmi Bhandar. After the Trinamool’s victory in Bengal in the 21st Assembly elections and the 24th Lok Sabha elections, the opposition has repeatedly targeted this ‘Lakshmi Bhandar’.
But the popularity of this Trinamool project in rural Bengal can be understood by looking at the picture of the Janamohini project for women in several states. The Chief Minister made important comments on that ‘Lakshmi Bhandar’ from Dabgram-Phulbari on Tuesday. He said that this project will continue throughout life.
The Trinamool government came to power for the third time in 2021. As promised, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee launched the Lakshmi Bhandar in Bengal. Now, over 2 crore women get the benefits of this scheme. Initially, they got Rs 500 per month, but now they get Rs 1,000 per month. On the other hand, women belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes get Rs 1,200 per month.
On this day, Mamata said from a meeting in North Bengal that such a project has been launched for the first time in Bengal, not only in India but also in the world. This project will continue throughout life. This project is the respect of women. Many people have made various comments about this project. A flood of trolls has flooded social media. There has also been a lot of sarcasm and sarcasm.
But many people on social media claim that there are many remote areas, many poor families, where even 1,000 or 1,200 rupees a month is a lot. Not only that, for many women, this money is their own. It is their own ‘income’ in the family of husband and children. Her elected government gives her this money. This time, the Chief Minister spoke about the validity of that Lakshmi Bhandar.
