Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has asked the state government to avoid discrimination by bringing a women-only financial assistance scheme that is based broadly on Madhya Pradesh’s Ladli Behna project. He said not only women but also men in the state needed financial aid because of a lack of jobs.
“We welcome the scheme if it is going to be part of the bigger announcements this government is going to make in the monsoon session. But please don`t discriminate between men and women. Make it Ladachi Bahin and Ladhacha Bhau (beloved sister and brother),” he said while addressing a press conference at the party’s Nariman Point office. In the Ladli Behna scheme, a monthly amount of Rs 1,250 is transferred directly to the bank accounts of women who are in the 21-to-60 age bracket. The Shinde-Fadnavis-Pawar government is mulling over coming out with a similar scheme in the budget to be tabled on Friday.
