He repeated claims from media reports that the Yogi Adityanath government had spent thousands of crores of rupees meant for women’s rights and entitlements on publicity.
Yadav calculated that Rs 50,000 annually over 10 years would amount to Rs 5 lakh and compared this with the reported Rs 20,000 proposal.
“The BJP’s corrupt government has eaten up Rs 5 lakh belonging to women over the last 10 years and is now serving the jumla of giving only Rs 20,000. Rs 20,000 is only four per cent of Rs 5 lakh, which means these BJP people have swallowed 96 per cent of women’s share,” he alleged.
He said that even if the BJP provided Rs 20,000, the government would still owe women Rs 4.8 lakh, “If the jumla of Rs 15 lakh is left aside.”
Yadav also alleged that BJP workers had gone “underground” because of public anger and said the party was relying on money after losing its moral standing.
“After theft in the temple and attacks on children, the BJP has neither morality nor courage left,” he said.
Yadav reiterated the SP’s own proposed financial assistance for women, saying: “We will start with Rs 40,000, with an increase every year.”
The SP chief had earlier announced the Rs 40,000-a-year proposal for women if his party returns to power in Uttar Pradesh.
