RJD alleges men received funds under Bihar's women's scheme
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) in Bihar, India, said that the state government made a big mistake.
They gave money meant for women to some men.
The money was part of a scheme to help women start their own businesses.
The scheme was announced by the Chief Minister and launched by the Prime Minister.
The RJD thinks the government was in a hurry to win votes before the elections.
They say the men who got the money might have already spent it and won't be able to return it.
The government says they have given money to over 1.56 crore women so far.
The mistake was found in the Darbhanga district.
RJD alleges Bihar government transferred Rs 10,000 to men under a scheme meant for women.
Scheme, Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana, was launched on September 26, 2025, to provide financial assistance to women for employment ventures.
Error detected on December 5, 2025, in Darbhanga district's Jaale block, where men received the funds.
RJD claims the government was in a rush to win votes before the November 14, 2025, Assembly elections.
Bihar government states that Rs 10,000 has been transferred to over 1.56 crore women under the scheme.
