Shivraj Chouhan further asked the women present if any government had ever deposited money into their bank accounts before.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan assured all sisters that he considers himself their brother during a public meeting in Betul district on Wednesday, ahead of the upcoming state assembly polls scheduled for this week.
"I assure all the sisters that I am your real brother. Before being the Chief Minister, I am your brother. I have observed many times that women get worried even for Rs 1000 and Rs 2000. There was a need for their essentials, and they did not have money. So, it pained me a lot. I was thinking for the past many days about how to alleviate this pain of women," Chief Minister Shivraj Chouhan said.
He said that he decided to address this issue by directly transferring money to the bank accounts of sisters, by introducing the Mukhyamantri Ladli Bahna Yojana.
