However, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut has slammed the scheme, calling it a politically-motivated move to win over voters. Raut claimed that the state government has no money in its treasury and is burdened with a debt of Rs 8 lakh crores. He suggested that women, who are the backbone of the family, deserve more financial assistance and should be given Rs 10,000 per month.
The ruling Mahayuti alliance, which suffered a major blow in the recent Lok Sabha elections, is leaving no stone unturned to retain power in Maharashtra. The Maha Vikas Agadhi (MVA) alliance, comprising the Congress, Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena, and Sharad Pawar's NCP, is confident of wresting power back.
Interestingly, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray had earlier welcomed the government's decision to implement a 'Ladli Behna' scheme and demanded a similar policy for men as well. The move has sparked a debate about the political motivations behind such schemes and their efficacy in addressing the state's pressing issues.
