Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a strong stance against the RJD on Friday, contending that women in Bihar, a state approaching elections, endured significant hardships under its governance. He encouraged them to prevent the return of Lalu Prasad's party and its allies to power.
Launching the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana virtually from Delhi, the PM announced that 75 lakh women in Bihar would each obtain Rs 10,000 to encourage self-employment. This Rs 7,500-crore scheme by the NDA government seeks to strengthen female economic empowerment in the region.
