Congress leader Sonia Gandhi pledges financial aid to women in impoverished households amidst the ongoing Lok Sabha elections, emphasizing the party’s commitment to empowering Indian women.
In a significant move during the fourth phase of Lok Sabha elections, Sonia Gandhi, the Chairperson of the Congress Parliamentary Party, announced a groundbreaking initiative. The Congress party will provide financial assistance of ₹1 lakh annually to women from economically disadvantaged backgrounds under the ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme.
Addressing the nation in a heartfelt video message, Sonia Gandhi highlighted the invaluable contributions of women to India’s history and emphasized the challenges faced by them in the current economic climate. She stressed the need to honor their dedication and sacrifices by offering tangible support through the ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme.
Sonia Gandhi underscored the transformative impact of previous Congress initiatives such as MNREGA, Right to Information, Right to Education, and Food Security, which have empowered millions of Indians. The ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme, she asserted, is another step towards advancing the welfare of women and their families.
As voting proceeds across various states and Union Territories, Sonia Gandhi’s announcement resonates with voters, particularly women aged 25-35, who value policies aimed at uplifting marginalized communities. The initiative not only addresses economic disparities but also aligns with the Congress party’s commitment to social justice and inclusive growth.
As the election season progresses, the focus on welfare measures like the ‘Mahalakshmi’ scheme underscores the importance of socioeconomic issues in shaping electoral outcomes. With Sonia Gandhi’s pledge, the Congress party aims to garner support by demonstrating its dedication to addressing the needs of the most vulnerable segments of society.
