Labeling the current payout of Rs 1,000-Rs 1,200 as inadequate, in the face of rising inflation, Mahato emphasised the need for meaningful financial support for women in the state. In his letter, Mahato criticised the Lakshmir Bhandar scheme, a flagship welfare program of the Trinamul Congress government, calling it a "political gimmick" that fails to address the real economic challenges faced by women in West Bengal.
Citing examples from BJP-ruled states, he pointed out that Maharashtra provides Rs 1,500 per month under the Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana, and Jharkhand offers Rs 2,500 under the Mukhyamantri Maiyan Samman Yojana, arguing that West Bengal's efforts fall short in comparison.
