Mumbai, Sep 6 (Reporter) To awaken the BJP government on inflation issue, the women's wing of Congress party will launch a statewide 'Kharche Pe Charcha' campaign, said its national president Alka Lamba on Friday. Addressing media here, he said that in midst of ongoing festive season, inflation has skyrocketed, disrupting the household budgets of ordinary families. With the rise of prices of fuel, cooking gas cylinders and grains, it has become difficult for homemakers to run their households, she said. She alleged that on eve of election, the BJP deceives women by promising to brinh down inflation. Due to rising prices of essential commodities, the festive spirit has dampened, leaving the public distressed, she said while criticising the BJP government. She stated that the Congress had promised to deposit Rs one lakh annually into accounts of poor women if they came to power. Although the Congress could not form the government at the Centre, she informed that in Telangana, the state government has been depositing Rs 2,500 monthly into women’s bank accounts, similarly in Karnataka and in Himachal Pradesh Rs 2,000 and Rs 1,500 have been given, respectively. She said that as soon as the Congress came to power, they launched the 'Mahalakshmi Yojana' for women, however, the BJP coalition government in Maharashtra has launched the 'Ladki Bahin' scheme with an eye on state assembly election to deceive women, she claimed and alleged that this scheme is plagued by corruption. Banks have withdrawn money from many women's accounts, citing insufficient funds, she further claimed and said that one person fraudulently filed 30 applications in his wife's name to siphon off the funds. The government is wasting crores of rupees from the state treasury on advertisements for this scheme, she charged. To awaken the BJP government on the issue of inflation, the 'Kharche Pe Charcha' campaign has been launched by banging empty plates. This campaign will be carried out in all 288 assembly constituencies of the state and began today from the Versova and Chembur assembly constituencies in Mumbai, added Ms Lamba. Speaking on the occasion, Mumbai Congress president and MP Varsha Gaikwad stated that inflation and women's safety are currently crucial issues. The women's Congress will raise its voice against the BJP government and take the 'Kharcha Pe Charcha' campaign to every household, she added...////...
