On Monday, Supriya Sule, the working president of the Nationalist Congress Party (SP), questioned the Maharashtra government's Mukhyamantri Ladki Bahin Yojana, implying that the ruling alliance believes money can be used to win both relationships and elections, reported PTI. 

The scheme, launched by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar in last month's state budget, provides financial assistance of Rs 1,500 to women from families with an annual income of less than Rs 2.5 lakh. Pawar has been actively promoting the plan ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra assembly elections.
