Election‑Linked Abuse of Ladli Bahin Scheme Raised in Parliament

In a parliamentary session, Arvind Savant highlighted what he called an "election‑linked abuse" of the Ladli Bahin scheme. He cited evidence that large numbers of women and even some male relatives were removed from the beneficiary list after the voting period, implying that the scheme had been leveraged to secure votes. Savant stressed that the misuse of taxpayer money for short‑term political advantage contradicts the spirit of the Constitution. He demanded a rigorous, unbiased probe and warned that any manipulation must be penalised.
