I welcome them to this event,&#8221; Mr Gandhi said.<\/p>\n<p>Some 10 women walked out with Rs 2,000 in their accounts, and a wide smile on their faces. While 50 per cent of the estimated 1.08 crore beneficiaries&#8217; accounts will get credited today, the remaining have been promised the money tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m very happy. It will help me pay the school fee for my children,&#8221; a woman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel independent. I don&#8217;t have to depend on my children for medicines,&#8221; another said.<\/p>\n<p>The only rider in the scheme is that this can be availed by only those families that do not file goods and services tax (GST) and income tax returns.<\/p>\n<p>How foolproof is the verification?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ration cards and Aadhaar cards are checked together to know their tax and GST details,&#8221; Laxmi Hebbalkar, Women and Child Welfare Minister, Karnataka, said.<\/p>\n<p>While ration cards and Kutumba software were used to ensure no duplication, and no misuse of data by keeping it strictly confidential, challenges still remained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were careful to ensure no two women heads emerged from the same household. But we faced challenges to take care of ration cards of those who have died,&#8221; said Archana MS, Director, Women and Child Welfare Department.<\/p>\n<p>Prema, a beneficiary, said the ration card is in the name of her grandmother, who died. &#8220;We have to change that. They said they will help delete her name and issue a new one by the first of next month,&#8221; Prema said.<\/p>\n<p>While most women said they would be helpless if they didn&#8217;t receive the money, others who benefitted claimed they would return the favour with votes.<\/p>\n<p>Is this a deliberate attempt by the Congress to project themselves well and bag the women&#8217;s votes? Will this benefit the party in 2024?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ndtv.com\/karnataka-news\/gruha-lakshmi-karnataka-congress-launches-its-costliest-scheme-on-100-days-in-power-4343055\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Artists perform during the launch of the Karnataka government&#8217;s Gruha Laxmi scheme in Mysuru Mysuru: The Congress in Karnataka celebrated its 100 days of governance with the launch of its costliest scheme &#8211; Gruha Lakshmi &#8211; that promises Rs 2,000 per month to women heads of households.
