BJP to replicate Haryana Lado Lakshmi scheme in Punjab poll campaign

The BJP is set to use its Haryana Lado Lakshmi scheme as a key campaign pitch for the upcoming Punjab elections. The scheme, which provides cash transfers to women, has been positioned as a flagship welfare initiative.

The party plans to contrast the scale and structure of Haryana's scheme with similar programmes offered by rival parties in Punjab, framing it as evidence of superior governance and welfare delivery.

This move reflects the BJP's strategy to leverage successful state policies nationally as it seeks to expand its footprint in Punjab ahead of forthcoming electoral contests.
