"Make women self-reliant": RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav explains purpose of 'Mai-Bahin Maan' Scheme

Madhubani (Bihar) [India], September 14 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday participated in "Mai-Bahin Maan Program" in Madhubani.
Sharing a post on 'X', Tejashwi Yadav mentioned that the primary purpose of the "Mai-Bahin Maan Scheme" is to make women self-reliant, happy, prosperous, affluent, healthy, and to facilitate their lives. He also considered the "Mai-Bahin Maan Scheme" as a step towards reducing poverty in the state.
Sharing a post on 'X', Tejashwi Yadav said, "I engaged in a dialogue with the maternal power at the "Mai-Bahin Maan Program" organised in Madhubani. Upon our government coming to power, every mother and every sister in Bihar will be provided with 2500 rupees per month under the "Mai-Bahin Maan Scheme" to make them self-reliant, happy, prosperous, affluent, healthy, and to facilitate their lives. Our Mai-Bahin Maan Scheme will be a powerful step towards reducing poverty in the state, promoting gender equality, and investing in the social and economic capabilities of marginalised citizens."
Meanwhile, Tejashwi Yadav also interacted with the reporters in Patna and slammed the NDA state government, accusing them of having "no vision".
"This (NDA) government has no vision of its own. We have a vision, which we are telling; if they have a vision, then they should tell," he said.
Earlier, Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Bihar on September 15, stating that he is coming to do "Jumle ki Barish" in the state.
Yadav mentioned that PM Modi won't discuss any "real issues" and instead will focus on talking only about infiltrators.
The former Bihar Chief Minsiter also urged the Prime Minister to visit the Purnea medical college and take CM Nitish Kumar along with him.
"The PM is coming to do 'Jumle ki Barish'... No development work is being done. The PM will not speak on any real issue. He will only talk about infiltrators. He will not talk about Bihar's development or improving the lives of the poor. The PM is coming to Purnea, may he also visit the medical college there, 'sath mein mere chacha ko bhi le jaayein'. He will see what the reality is," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Bihar's Purnea on September 15. He will also address a public rally at Shishabari village, where people from Purnea, Katihar, Araria, and Kishanganj districts are expected to gather.
The Prime Minister will launch the National Makhana Board in Bihar. The Board will promote production and new technology development, strengthen post-harvest management, promote value addition and processing and facilitate market, export and brand development in Makhana, thereby benefiting the Makhana farmers of Bihar and the country.
