Hemant Soren Cabinet approves ₹2,500 per month to women in Jharkhand after BJP’s promise of ₹2,100

The Jharkhand government has increased the monthly payout under the ‘Maiyan Samman Yojana’ from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,500 for women above 18 years, starting December. This decision is seen as a counter to BJP's promise of Rs 2,100 per month if elected.
