MP CM Mohan Yadav Comments on Ladli Behna Scheme Costs Amid Opposition Criticism

He encouraged young beneficiaries to wait until they are eligible. Opposition Congress spokesperson KK Mishra criticized the government for hesitating to add new beneficiaries, suggesting the scheme is not fully committed. The government emphasizes empowering women despite financial challenges.
