Reportedly deputy chief minister DK Shivakumar said that the ambitious 'Grihalakshmi' scheme of the state government is the biggest program in the entire country and already 1.10 crore women have registered their names for the scheme. He was speaking at a press conference after holding a meeting of officials regarding the preparation of the program at the Zilla panchayat hall on Thursday. On august 30, the Grilakshmi Yojana is being launched in mysore, congress leader rahul Gandhi, AICC president Mallikarjuna Kharge, chief minister Siddaramaiah and many others are participating. Beneficiaries from mysore, Mandya, Chamarajanagar, Kodagu and Hassan districts are participating in the programme, for which 2 thousand buses are being arranged. He said arrangements are being made for some beneficiaries to share their views.
Meanwhile the program will be launched simultaneously across the state. We will also arrange the interaction through online. Instant payment to all beneficiaries at the click of a button. The messages will come to his mobile number. We are not short of money. We have deposited all the money in the bank. If there is a server problem, the delivery may be delayed. There will be no facility other than drinking water at the event venue. One lakh chairs are being placed at the event venue. A huge LED screen of around 140 feet will be installed in the public seating area. It is a government program and will be held on a non-partisan basis. MLAs of all parties can participate in the program, he said. There is no politics behind the change of venue from belgaum to Mysore. We have planned to do another program in Belgaum. We are doing this program in mysore with the consensus of all. Our intention was to launch the 'Annabhagya' project in Mysore. But as there is some obstacle in the matter of rice, we are starting Grilahakshmi in Mysore. He said that the venue of the event has been changed to mysore due to the traffic problem to organize the event in Bangalore.
Moreover prime minister Modi used to say that guarantee schemes will bankrupt the state. However, the government of Madhya Pradesh, which is now under their own rule, saw us and implemented a guarantee scheme. What does the prime minister say to this? He questioned. He asserted that our guarantee schemes are now making noise all over the country.
