Pune/Marathwada: The re-scrutiny of the applications of the Ladki Bahin Scheme beneficiaries has increased anxiety among many beneficiaries. After excluding 10,000 beneficiaries in Pune earlier, the scrutiny of applications in Marathwada is now underway, and the beneficiaries are feeling intimidated due to the change in the criteria of the scheme.
There was a fierce fight between the ruling and opposition parties during the election campaign over the scheme. The political atmosphere has heated up as the criteria of the scheme have been restructured less than a week after the swearing-in of the Mahayuti government.
Waiting for the sixth installment of the beneficiaries
Everyone’s attention is on how many beneficiaries will get the sixth installment of the Ladki Bahin yojana. The list of eligible beneficiaries is likely to be announced soon after the restructuring. However, the scrutiny of the applications of the scheme and the changed criteria for eligibility have created confusion among many Ladki Bahin Scheme beneficiaries.
Political allegations and counter-allegations continue
The opposition, while criticizing the government, has said that this decision is purely misleading the people. “The government has not maintained transparency in the implementation of the scheme,” the opposition has alleged. On the other hand, the government has explained that the scrutiny is being carried out to ensure justice for the beneficiaries of the scheme.
When will the wait for the beloved sisters end?
The government’s decision will now be the focus of everyone’s attention until the sixth installment is deposited in the accounts of the beloved sisters. It will soon be clear how many beneficiaries will benefit or lose from the change in the scheme’s criteria.
