On February 3, the first installment will be paid in the bank accounts of 3 lakh 55 thousand landless agricultural laborers registered in the scheme. For this scheme, the state government has made a provision of Rs 200 crore in the budget. Under the scheme, 6 thousand rupees are to be given to the landless agricultural laborers in three different installments in a year.
BJP state spokesperson and former minister Rajesh Munat has raised questions on the entire event. He said that all gatherings are banned in the state. The government has made it mandatory for people to follow Covid guidelines for their family and religious programs, then how and at whose behest the government is organising Rahul Gandhi’s program in the capital. He said, when the government itself is intent on flouting the rules and regulations made by it, then why is the common man being compelled and punished to follow these rules.
