BJP will launch Annapurna scheme in Bengal if voted to power in 2026, offering Rs 2000 to every woman: Bengal BJP State President Sukanta Majumdar

Kolkata: West Bengal BJP State President Sukanta Majumdar said on Monday that BJP will launch Annapurna scheme in Bengal, offering Rs 2000 to every woman, if voted to power in 2026. Meanwhile, Majumdar said the Union Home Ministry will intervene if no steps are taken in connection with the attack on Enforcement officials in Sandeshkhali.

Following the attack on January 5, Majumdar had written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah seeking central intervention into the Sandeshkhali incident.

“If BJP comes to power in Bengal in 2026, we will introduce the Annapurna scheme for women in Bengal and we will give Rs 2000 to every women. At present, only 30% women are getting Lakshmir Bhandar in the state,” Majumdar said.


“In Assam, the state government gives Rs 1350 to women. Recently, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswasarma was in town and we were discussing and he informed me about the scheme.

“The people of the villages are affected by poverty. People do not have money to buy woollen clothes. The whole state is raising questions about corruption,” Majumdar said in Murshidabad.

“The entire education department is in jail. Everyone is shivering to see the next one going to jail,” Majumdar commented about the recruitment scam. Trinamool Congress is engaged in such large scale corruption that Mahabharat can be written on it,” Majumdar said.

Leader of Opposition (LoP) in state Assembly Suvendu Adhikari said on Monday that “Bengal will turn to “Ram Rajya” which means a state, where people will get food in their plates and roof on their heads. This is true meaning of “Ram Rajya”

In East Midnapore’s Nandigram, Adhikari will distribute “diyas” for celebrating January 22, the day consecration ceremony Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will take place. “Wait and watch. There will be a "Ram Tsunami" on January 22. We have distributed earthen diyas to people across East Midnapore,” Adhikari said.

The consecration ceremony of Ram Mandir in Ayodhya will take place on January 22 at 12.20 p.m. The period was picked because it corresponds to 'Abhijeet Muhurat'. Lord Ram is believed to have been born during the 'Abhijeet Muhurat'.
