SP promises ‘Stree Samman Samriddhi Yojana’ if voted to power in 2027
Addressing a press conference alongside party president Akhilesh Yadav, party MP Dimple Yadav said women's power will develop not merely by talking about it, but by giving women true representation
The Samajwadi Party (SP) has announced its intention to implement the Stree Samman Samridhhi Yojna if it gains power in the 2027 Assembly elections. This scheme aims to provide ₹40,000 annually to women, thereby enhancing their economic independence and contributing to their overall empowerment. Speaking at a press conference in Lucknow alongside party president Akhilesh Yadav, Lok Sabha MP Dimple Yadav highlighted that the term 'Stree' was chosen for the scheme to represent gender without limiting it to a specific age group.
She emphasized that economic empowerment of women is crucial for their self-reliance and financial contribution to their families, thus increasing their equality within households. The SP president further criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for not implementing women's reservation and accused them of promoting communalism in education.
The party also pledged to reopen over 26,000 schools that were closed during the merger process if they come to power.
