There is anticipated to be a challenging competition between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan in the upcoming Bihar elections in October next year.
Although Nitish Kumar’s administration can boast of accomplishments over the past two decades, it may also face resistance from those opposed to long-standing leaders. The Grand Alliance may try to leverage its advantage. NDA strategists have a strong understanding of this. Hence, Nitish Kumar’s administration has the capacity to introduce a substantial program to attract women in Bihar as well.
We are stating this because in the recent Maharashtra and Jharkhand elections, the ruling parties have greatly profited from the women-centric scheme. In addition to Maharashtra and Jharkhand, the program initiated for women in Madhya Pradesh also garnered significant attention and resulted in the return of the BJP government. Despite the fact that the Bihar government operates various programs for women, it could introduce a prominent scheme like Mayan Samman or Ladli Behna Yojana.
Another program called Grihalakshmi Yojana has been introduced in Karnataka as well. All state governments have the opportunity to implement a similar program in the near future and aim to protect their administrations. In this scenario, how can Bihar’s government under Nitish Kumar also fall behind? Examining the outcomes of the Maharashtra and Jharkhand assembly elections, the government must be contemplating this issue. Anticipate the unveiling of a new initiative for women in the upcoming budget presentation for next year.
If this fails to occur, the Grand Alliance can capitalize on the situation. There must be no uncertainty regarding this. The Bihar government under Nitish Kumar has initiated a program for social security.
Through this program, the female residents of the state will receive financial aid amounting to Rs 4,000 every month. This program is designed for women who have lost their husbands or gone through a divorce. Orphans can also avail the benefits of this program.
