Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said that all schemes of his predecessor, Shivraj Singh Chouhan would be continued by his government.
On the last day of the first session of the 16th Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Thursday said that all schemes of his predecessor, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, including the Ladli Behna and Ladli Lakshmi schemes, would be continued by his government.
Speaking during the vote of thanks on Governor Mangubhai Patel’s address, Mr. Yadav said that there was an “unnecessary fear” regarding some schemes being discontinued.
“From the Ladli Lakshmi Yojana to any other yojana, none of them will be shut. We have kept sufficient funds for all these schemes,” he told the House, adding that the subsidy on gas connections would also be given to all beneficiaries.
Congress MLA and Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly Umang Singhar interrupted him, specifically asking about the future of Ladli Behna scheme.
“Money under all schemes is being credited into the beneficiaries’ accounts on the fixed dates and all schemes will continue,” the CM responded.
The four-day winter session of the Madhya Pradesh Assembly, convened on Monday, was adjourned sine die on Thursday. The session saw newly elected MLAs their take oath as members of the House; the election of BJP leader and former Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar as the Speaker; and the Governor’s address.
While the Governor had touched upon various schemes of the State government, there had been no mention of the Ladli Behna scheme, raising concerns over its future.
