Tejashwi Yadav Promises Rs 30,000 Aid For Women On Makar Sankranti Under ‘Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana’

Tejashwi Yadav Announces Rs 30,000 Aid For Women On Makar Sankranti Under Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana If Voted To Power In Bihar

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has made a major electoral promise ahead of the Bihar assembly elections. On Tuesday, he announced that if his party comes to power, women across the state will receive Rs 30,000 on the occasion of Makar Sankranti under the ‘Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana’. The announcement was made during his campaign speech on the final day of the first phase of election rallies, reflecting a strong focus on women empowerment and social welfare.

Introduction to the Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana

The proposed ‘Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana’ is a part of Tejashwi Yadav’s larger vision to uplift women and support them financially. According to his statement, this initiative will be officially launched on Makar Sankranti, January 14, if the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) forms the government. Under the scheme, each woman in Bihar will receive Rs 30,000 as direct financial support. Yadav highlighted that this would be a symbolic and practical beginning to empower women and recognize their role in family and society.

Monthly and Annual Financial Support for Women

The RJD’s election manifesto has already laid emphasis on consistent financial assistance to women. As per the opposition’s manifesto, women are promised Rs 2,500 per month starting from December 1. Over the course of five years, this would translate to an annual financial aid of Rs 30,000. However, Tejashwi Yadav went a step further, announcing that the entire Rs 30,000 amount will be transferred to women’s accounts on Makar Sankranti itself. This, he said, would mark the start of a new phase of inclusive governance in Bihar.

Focus on Women Voters and Empowerment

Tejashwi Yadav’s campaign strategy has consistently highlighted the importance of women voters. During his address, he mentioned that women’s support would play a key role in bringing about change in the state. “We will form our government, and as soon as it happens, on Makar Sankranti, the Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana will be implemented,” he stated. By positioning women at the center of his welfare agenda, the RJD leader aims to strengthen his party’s outreach among female voters, who have become a decisive force in Bihar’s electoral landscape.

Promises for Farmers and State Employees

In addition to the Rs 30,000 aid for women on Makar Sankranti, Tejashwi Yadav announced several other welfare measures targeting key sections of society. For state government employees, he pledged to reinstate the Old Pension Scheme, a long-standing demand among workers. Furthermore, he assured that all government staff, including police personnel, would be posted within 70 kilometres of their home districts to promote family stability and reduce travel hardships.
For the agricultural community, Yadav promised an additional Rs 300 per quintal over the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for paddy and a Rs 400 bonus per quintal for wheat. These measures, he said, would directly benefit small and marginal farmers, who form the backbone of Bihar’s rural economy.

Job Creation and Employment Opportunities

One of the most ambitious aspects of Tejashwi Yadav’s campaign is his promise to provide government jobs to at least one member of every household in Bihar. Calling it a “historic and revolutionary step,” he asserted that within 20 months of forming the government, there will be no family left without a government job. The RJD leader further added that the very first decision of his cabinet, once elected, would be to approve this proposal, demonstrating his commitment to tackling unemployment and ensuring economic stability for all families in Bihar.

A Vision for Inclusive Development

Tejashwi Yadav’s promises combine financial empowerment, social security, and economic reform. The Rs 30,000 aid for women on Makar Sankranti under the Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana is positioned as a flagship initiative, symbolizing his vision of inclusive governance. By addressing diverse groups—women, farmers, government employees, and youth—Yadav aims to present the RJD as a party committed to real change rather than mere rhetoric.
