NCP (SP) Lok Sabha member Supriya Sule on Thursday said the Maharashtra government's 'Ladki Bahin' scheme for women is good but its announcement and implementation just months ahead of the assembly elections is nothing but a "jumla" (gimmick), reported news agency PTI.

Under the state government's 'Mukhyamantri Majhi Ladki Bahin Yojana' announced last week in the budget, eligible women will be given Rs 1,500 per month.
