Lucknow: Ahead of Raksha Bandhan, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath presented significant gifts to 3.54 lakh Rasoiyas, with 93% of them being women, at Indira Gandhi Pratishthan on Sunday. The CM announced that Rasoiyas will receive an increased honorarium of ₹3,000, up from the previous ₹2,000, and will receive ₹2 lakh assistance and free health coverage of up to ₹5 lakh annually in case of incidents or accidents.
The government has doubled the amount allocated for uniforms from ₹500 to ₹1,000. CM highlighted the transformation of the state, noting that nine years ago, honorarium was ₹1,000, and often, RSaiyas received nothing. He emphasized that SP and Congress leaders robbed the poor of their rights and that Jan Dhan accounts were opened for 55 crore people, ensuring direct money transfers through DBT.
The state government is ensuring social security for Rasoiyas, with accounts being opened in SBI, crediting the honorarium directly. CM criticized the SP government for ignoring the needs of the poor and claimed that the BJP government would resolve all problems. He pledged that the government will ensure a dignified life for Rasoiyas, Anganwadi and ASHA workers, village chowkidars, Home Guards, and PRD personnel.
