In the Karnataka Legislative Assembly, a row broke out on Wednesday about the state’s major social welfare scheme, 'Gruha Lakshmi', causing a disruption in the proceedings. The opposition BJP had a walkout, alleging the two-month non-payment of dues by the Congress government due to an alleged deficit of Rs 5,000 crore.
Griha Lakshmi Yojana, one of the five major promises initiated by the Congress government after coming to power in 2023, assures providing financial assistance of ₹2,000 to women-headed BPL families every month.
According to official data, the program covers approximately 12.6 million beneficiaries across the state and is distributed through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT).
