RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Tuesday assured one-time aid of Rs 30,000 to women if voted to power in Bihar polls. “As soon as the government is formed, we will work to address the demands of the mothers and sisters by depositing Rs 30,000 for the entire year on January 14th, Makar Sankranti."

Addressing a press conference two days before the state goes to polls, Tejashwi said the president of the Chamber of Commerce will be given the status of a public representative. “We will provide free electricity to farmers for irrigation. Currently, the state government charges 55 paise per unit but we will reduce it to zero,” he said.

“We will provide Rs 300 in addition to the MSP for paddy and Rs 400 per quintal for wheat,” he said.

He said if the INDIA bloc wins Bihar polls, heads of PACS, 'vyapar mandal' will be given status of people's representatives.
