According to political analysts, through this scheme, the BJP government wants to send a message to the state that it stands firmly with its women citizens. Significantly, in the 2018 assembly elections, the BJP lost to the Congress by a small margin. So this time she wants to win the election by keeping the women voters in a good position. In the last election, the Congress came to power after a gap of 15 years, but Jyotiraditya Scindia along with 22 MLAs deserted the Congress, leading to the fall of the Kamal Nath-led government.
