Not Maiya Samman, but Mahila Humiliation Scheme: Sudesh Mahto

 

Ranchi: AJSU Party President and former Deputy Chief Minister Sudesh Mahto has said that the Hemant government has turned the 'Maiya Samman Scheme' into a 'Women's Humiliation Scheme'. To garner votes during the assembly elections, 56.61 lakh women were given Rs. 2500 under the Maiya Samman Scheme, but now citing documents and rules, the names of five lakh women are being deleted. This is making the women feel humiliated. Why is injustice being done to these women.

      Addressing the North Chotanagpur divisional meeting of the party's women's cell at the party's central office, Mr. Mahto told the party officials to expose the dishonesty of the Hemant government at the grassroots level. The meeting was addressed by MLA Nirmal Mahato, former MLA Dr. Lambodar Mahato, Praveen Prabhakar, Santosh Mahato, Vijay Sahu, Bokaro Zilla Parishad Vice President Babita Kumari, Zilla Parishad members Khushboo Kumari, Yashoda Devi, Sangeeta Barla etc. Deputy Chief Rinki Kumari, Priyanka Sharma, Suhani Ekka, Geeta Sinha, Sanjay Mehta, Mantu Mahato, Dilip Dangi, Parameshwar Mahato, Dilip Dangi, Kashinath Singh, Tikait Mahato, Pramila Chaudhary, Babita Devi, Paras Singh etc. were also present in the meeting.

    Sudesh Mahato directed to run a campaign to connect the women power with the party and make them aware at the village level. He said that AJSU has played an important role in the direction of women empowerment in the state. AJSU paved the way for revolutionary change by being in the government for fifty percent women participation in Panchayat elections and formation of self-help groups.
