Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has expressed confidence that the Bharatiya Janata Party will form government for the fifth time in the State, where the Assembly elections were held earlier this month.
Referring to his government's flagship 'Ladli Behna Yojana' for women, Mr. Chouhan on Monday night said the BJP workers have made sincere efforts and "ladli behnas" (beneficiaries of the scheme) have removed all hurdles to ensure the party's victory.
He was addressing the party workers at his home turf Budhni in Sehore district.
The State Assembly polls were held on November 17 and votes will be counted on December 3.
The Chouhan-led state BJP government first announced the Ladli Behna Yojana, under which eligible women are now given ₹1,250 per month, in March this year and started disbursement of the financial aid from June.
Initially, a financial aid of ₹1,000 was being provided to women under this scheme and it was increased to ₹1,250 in August.
The BJP earlier formed governments in the State in 2003, 2008, 2013 and in 2020.
