A Bharatiya Janata Party legislator in Bihar has criticised his own government over the distribution of ₹10,000 crore to JEEVIKA beneficiaries, The Hindu reported. The supplied report says the legislator questioned the development implications of taking on a debt burden. He also argued that mobilising resources for future schemes could become more difficult.
The criticism was directed at the government’s decision to distribute the funds to JEEVIKA “didis”, a term used in the report for the programme’s women beneficiaries. The available material does not identify the legislator, specify the government department responsible for the distribution or explain the exact structure of the payment. It also does not include the government’s response, details of the programme’s beneficiaries or information about the financial terms behind the ₹10,000 crore allocation.
The legislator’s objection, as reported, focuses on the possible effect of debt on development and future public spending.
