Bihar Elections: Tejashwi Yadav, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Mahagathbandhan's chief minister face, made a big announcement to woo women voters on Tuesday. Yadav, while addressing a press conference in Patna, announced Rs 30,000 aid for women under the 'Mai Bahin Maan Yojana' if the grand alliance comes to power in Bihar. The poll promise is seen as a move to counter the Nitish government's Rs 10,000 transferred to 25 lakh women beneficiaries under the recently launched 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana'.

"After we form the government, on Makar Sankranti - 14th January, we will deposit Rs 30,000 for an entire year into the accounts of women under 'Mai Bahin Maan Yojana'," announced Yadav.

Poll Promise For Farmers

"The matter at hand is to build Bihar. The announcement we made for farmers today, as soon as we form the government, we will make the electricity for irrigation free. Rs 300 and Rs 400, respectively, in addition to MSP, will be given for paddy and wheat," he added.
