Maharashtra Chief Minister Ekanth Shinde on Saturday said the Ladki Bahin Yojana has made the opposition nervous and women should strengthen the Mahayuti to see their monthly allowance in the scheme go up to Rs 4,000, reported the PTI.

CM Shinde was speaking at a programme about the scheme in Maharashtra's Yavatmal along with Deputy Chief Ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar.
The scheme was not launched to win votes but to ensure that women get the respect they deserve, he said, as per the PTI.
