Bhopal: A meeting of Madhya Pradesh. Nearly one lakh women. A unanimous voice echoed from the pandal – My brother. i.e
Shivraj brother Brother of beloved sisters. Uncle of nieces. This echo of my brother is seen knocking the door of Shivraj government again next time. Ladli Brahmin Yojana seems to be preparing a roadmap for the return of BJP government in Madhya Pradesh.
There are approximately 5 crore 40 lakh voters in the state. The registered number of Ladli Sisters is around 1 crore 25 lakh and almost all of them are voters. That means 25 percent of the total voters. This 25 percent can help Shivraj government get more than 150 seats in the next elections.
In front of Laadli Brahmin is Congress’s Nari Samman Yojana. BJP has announced Rs 1000 (now Rs 1250), Congress has announced Rs 1500. Despite this, it is discussed more among the public. In this regard, political analysts say that the public trusts the face, not the paper documents.
In Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan has become the face on whom the public, especially the economically weak and women, have immense confidence. He seems to them to be a man among them who keeps his promises, whereas Congress’s Kamal Nath has no direct connection with the public. He is captured in the image of an industrialist. In such a situation, Shivraj’s face is more likely to get around one crore votes from Ladli Brahmin. Congress’s Nari Samman Yojana is nowhere to be seen in this race.

Mathematics of Shivraj’s comeback from ‘Laadli Bahna’
The way the Laadli Behna scheme has been responded to in Madhya Pradesh, it has put the entire strategy of the Congress on the backfoot. Let’s understand the mathematics of Ladli Bahna’s voting.
, Total registration of one crore 25 lakh Ladli Brahmins, now they are getting Rs 1250 per month.
, If BJP gets even half the votes out of 1 crore 25 lakh, it would be around 50 lakh votes.
, Fifty lakh votes i.e. about ten percent of the total voters.
, If we look at the voting trends of the last election with 70 percent voting of these fifty lakh votes, then this figure will be around 15 percent of the total voting.
, In Madhya Pradesh, the difference in vote percentage between BJP and Congress has been only one to three percent till now.
, In such a situation, an increase of 15 percent votes will increase the government’s seats in Madhya Pradesh by about 30 to 35 percent.

More than one crore beloved sister becomes government campaigner
If we look closely at this scheme, it is not just a matter of votes for 1.25 crore women. These women have gradually become campaigners for Madhya Pradesh BJP and ‘Apne Bhaiya Shivraj’. These women are also asking their family and acquaintances to vote for BJP and praise its policies. A difference of about one percent will also be used for publicity.
The families benefiting from Ladli Brahmin Yojana also seem to be planning to vote for Shivraj and BJP. That means about three votes are associated with one dear sister. If this happens then BJP can also get 170 seats.
