The MVA manifesto includes five core pledges aimed at enhancing social welfare and economic relief for Maharashtra’s working-class families. Among these is the Mahalakshmi Yojana, promising a direct monthly benefit of Rs 3,000 for women, a notable increase from the current Rs 1,500 under the Ladki Behna scheme. Additional plans feature a state-backed health insurance plan offering coverage of up to Rs 25 lakh per family, coupled with provisions for free medicines, paralleling initiatives seen in Rajasthan under former Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot’s administration.
Addressing rural and agricultural challenges, the manifesto pledges substantial financial support to farmers, including a loan waiver program capped at Rs 3 lakh. A bonus of Rs 50,000 is set to reward those meeting timely loan repayments. Moreover, unemployed youth holding degrees or diplomas would receive a monthly stipend of Rs 4,000, while adolescent girls are promised a savings benefit of Rs 1 lakh upon reaching adulthood. This approach underscores MVA’s focus on reducing economic barriers and fostering financial independence among young women and agricultural workers alike.
