Karnataka BJP MLAs Walkout Over Gruha Lakshmi Dues

Karnataka BJP MLAs Walkout Over Gruha Lakshmi Dues

In the Karnataka Assembly, BJP MLAs were upset because the Women and Child Development Minister, Laxmi Hebbalkar, said that women who get money from the Gruha Lakshmi scheme had been paid, but actually, they hadn't been paid for two months.

The BJP MLAs said this was not true and wanted an apology.

The minister first said she didn't mean to mislead anyone and then apologized again.

The BJP MLAs were still not happy and left the Assembly.

The minister also said she was being targeted because she is a woman, which made the situation more heated.

The BJP MLAs think there might be a big problem with the money, but the minister says the money goes directly to the women's bank accounts, so there can't be a problem.
