Former BJP MP Raghunandan Sharma and CM Mohan Yadav
In Madhya Pradesh, politics has heated up over the amount of Shagun sent to Rakshabandhan by the Ladli Brahmin Yojana. Why was there opposition to the Chief Minister’s announcement to deposit Rs 250 in the account of all dear sisters on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan? A senior BJP leader has objected to sending the Shagun amount to all the beloved sisters. Former MP Raghunandan Sharma has said that Shagun’s money should be sent to Sanat’s sisters only.
In fact, the scheme was launched by the then CM Shivraj Singh Chouhan in the state ahead of the 2023 assembly elections. Under this scheme, more than 1 crore 30 lakh women in Madhya Pradesh are given 1250 rupees per month. Recently, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced that an additional 250 rupees will be deposited in the account of dear sisters on the occasion of Rakshabandhan festival.
‘Why omens for women who don’t celebrate Rakshabandhan?’
After the CM’s announcement, senior BJP leader and former MP Raghunandan Sharma has expressed his opposition. What is the point of giving Rs 250 to women who do not celebrate Rakshabandhan or do not believe in this sacred relationship, says Sharma? Shagun money should not be given to such people. The government is giving money from its own treasury. If it has to be given, money should be added to the account of women celebrating Raksha Bandhan.
Muslim women said- CM is our brother too
When TV9 asked the BJP leader if you are talking about Muslim women, he replied who goes on Hajj, who goes on Amarnath Yatra? This is already clear, so there is no need to question it. Muslim women have protested against the BJP leader’s statement. Muslim women said that it was wrong for a BJP leader to make such a statement. We also consider our Chief Minister as our brother. No one should be discriminated against.
The Congress spokesperson lashed out at the BJP
At the same time, Congress spokesperson Abbas Hafeez said that BJP’s thinking is going to fight between Hindus and Muslims. They are just trying to poison the society, the Chief Minister is from the entire state. The Chief Minister’s announcement cannot be divided on the basis of religion, but the BJP leaders are doing politics of appeasement.
