Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi announced that the party will provide financial assistance of Rs.1 lakh to the women of poor households.
Sonia Gandhi says, "Hello, my dear sisters. Women have made a huge contribution, from the freedom struggle to the creation of modern India. However, our women are facing a crisis amid severe inflation.
To do justice to their hard work and penance, Congress has come up with a revolving step. Under Congress's 'Mahalakshmi' scheme, we will give Rs. 1 lakh yearly to a poor family woman."
She further said that these guarantees have already changed the lives of millions of families in Karnataka and Telangana.
"Be it MNREGA, Right to Information, Right to Education, or Food Security, the Congress Party has empowered millions of Indians through our schemes. Mahalakshmi is the newest guarantee to take our work forward.
In this hard time, I want to assure you that the hand of Congress is with you and this hand will change your situation," she asserted.
