The credit war in the Mahayuti over the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana intensified on Friday as Shiv Sena minister Shambhuraj Desai said the scheme should be called by its full official name as it was floated by CM Eknath Shinde.
While the NCP continues to project that the finance department under deputy CM Ajit Pawar made a special provision for the scheme, Desai said the people knew the facts and had started calling the scheme by its official name.The Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana gives Rs 1,500 per month to eligible women between 21 to 65 years of age.
“It was a new scheme, so often unintentionally it was called only Ladki Bahin Yojana. But now all the parties in the Mahayuti are referring to this scheme as ‘Mukhya Mantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana’. If women are asked who brought this scheme, they are clearly saying that Eknath Shinde brought it,” Desai said.
