Money in women's pockets has turned the constituency upside down: From Maharashtra to Bihar, the 'women's card' is a marvel!
Mumbai: While the results of the Bihar assembly elections have created a stir in the political atmosphere, on one hand, the upheaval caused by the Rs 1,500 'Ladki Bahin' scheme in Maharashtra is remembered, on the other hand, the 'game' of the opposition was blown up by the Rs 10,000 directly deposited in the accounts of one and a half crore women in Bihar. While the results of the Bihar assembly elections announced today, November 14, 2025, show that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is on track to remain in power, political analysts are saying that these welfare schemes for women have decided the election result. This scheme is not just financial assistance, but has become a symbol of women's dominance in the constituency.
This incident in Bihar is directly linked to the recent assembly elections in Maharashtra. Under the 'Mahila Ladki Bahin' scheme launched by the Mahayuti government in Maharashtra, Rs 1,500 is directly deposited in the accounts of the beneficiaries every month. Before the implementation of this scheme, the voting trend of women was different, but this amount led lakhs of women to support the Mahayuti in the constituency and the election results were reversed. Similarly, in Bihar, the government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar gave direct assistance of Rs 10,000 to one and a half crore women under the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana' (CMWES) for women. This amount can be used for self-employment and small industries without repayment. The effect of this scheme was so disastrous that all the manipulation tactics of the opposition were ruined.
This scheme was launched virtually by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on August 29, 2025. The intention was to include maximum eligible women by December 2025. Under this, the amount is deposited in the bank accounts of the beneficiaries through Direct Benefit Transfer (DBT). On the eve of the elections, Rs 10,000 was deposited in the accounts of 75 lakh women in the month of October. This time was not out of date, because the Bihar assembly elections were announced on October 10, 2025 and voting was held in two phases on November 6 and November 11. The results announced today have given the NDA a strong step towards securing a majority. According to political analysts, this Rs 10,000 has created a 'turning point' in the women's constituency.
Nitish Kumar's popularity among women is not limited to this one scheme. The Bihar government has empowered women through 'Jeevika' self-help groups. It has provided opportunities for leadership roles by providing 50 per cent reservation in panchayat and municipal elections. It also provides training and marketing support for women's businesses. All these schemes have increased the percentage of women voting and they prefer stable governance and tangible financial benefits. As a political analyst puts it, "Nitish Kumar is popular among women because his government provides substantial financial assistance like direct transfer of Rs 10,000 into their bank accounts." This amount encourages women to become entrepreneurs and creates widespread empowerment through local women's groups.
Looking at the example of Maharashtra, the women's constituency has achieved remarkable success for the Mahayuti thanks to the 'Ladki Bahin' scheme. After the launch of this scheme, the enthusiasm of women to vote doubled and sisters in rural areas used this money for the betterment of their families. It is also expected that this scheme will be implemented in Bihar for the financial independence of women. However, the opposition tried to make this scheme an issue of 'allegations', but they failed due to the actual experience of women. In this election in Bihar, the percentage of women voting reached 65 percent, which is 10 percent more than the previous election. All this is a feature of the success of the 'Women's Card'. Against this backdrop, the importance of such schemes for women is increasing on the political stage. In both the states of Maharashtra and Bihar, economic empowerment is the secret of women's votes. It is likely that such schemes will be implemented in other states in the future. Today's results have proven that the voice of women is becoming a decisive factor in the elections. While wishing Nitish Kumar's government a return to power, it is necessary to pay attention to the long-term effects of these schemes.
