TMC To Launch Its Lok Sabha Campaign With Mega Rally In Kolkata On Sunday

The Trinamool Congress is all set to launch its Lok Sabha poll campaign with a grand rally on Sunday at Kolkata's famed Brigade Parade Grounds, where party supremo Mamata Banerjee is set to galvanise supporters and set the tone for the upcoming elections.

Christened 'Jana Garjan Sabha', the mega event will feature three platforms, including a cross ramp, with Mamata Banerjee and TMC's national general secretary Abhishek Banerjee taking centre-stage as the main speakers.

The rally's overarching theme revolves around the alleged withholding of the state's financial dues by the central government, a contentious issue that has dominated state politics for the past two years.

Chhattisgarh Govt To Roll Out Women-Centric ‘Mahtari Vandan Yojana’ Scheme On Sunday 

The BJP government in Chhattisgarh will launch its flagship ‘Mahatari Vandan Yojana’, under which a monthly financial assistance of Rs 1,000 will be provided to married women, an official said on Saturday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will join the programme virtually and interact with the beneficiaries on the occasion, he said. About Rs 700 crore will be released as the first instalment under the scheme, which will benefit nearly 70 lakh women in the state, the official said. He said each registered woman will get Rs 12,000 a year, or Rs 1,000 a month.

As part of another scheme, which will be launched on March 12, paddy farmers will be given financial assistance, he said.

Under the scheme, ‘Krishak Unnati Yojana’, those farmers whose paddy has been procured at the minimum support price (MSP), fixed by the Centre, will get some additional amounts. Union Ministers Arjun Munda and Giriraj Singh will be present during the launch of this programme, he said.

The Vishnu Deo Sai government has decided to purchase paddy at Rs 3,100 per quintal from farmers in Chhattisgarh. This year, the state has made a record purchase of 1.47 lakh metric tonnes of paddy for which farmers have already been paid the MSP at Rs 2,183 per quintal, the official said.
