Boko: A serious matter came to light after some anonymous villagers from the Boko area alleged that BJP workers in Assam distributed three forms of government schemes mentioned as “Socio-Economic Form” to lure voters.
The first form was titled “Socio-Economy Survey No. 1 of Bharatiya Janata Party, Assam State for the ‘ Orunodoi’ scheme” for those who have Ration Cards.
The anonymous people emphasized that the BJP workers surprisingly filled up the forms by themselves, where they filled up the beneficiary ration card number, address, mobile number, etc, in the form.
According to them, the above-mentioned forms have the BJP party logo and photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma.
The second form also has the same headline as the first form and mentions Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana and also gives details, “Your ration card is an impenetrable safety shield for your family. The BJP government has offered free medical services under the Ayushman Card to every family with a ration card. In addition, free life insurance and accident insurance will be provided to the family’s main breadwinner. From now on, it is planned to take full responsibility for the annual premiums of Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana.” In this form, BJP workers fill out the beneficiary’s name, bank account details, etc.
On the other hand, the third form is the Million Moina Scheme, which mentioned that the BJP-led government has taken various schemes for the advancement of women’s society. To admission and the progress class of women’s education, one-time financial assistance of 10,000 for girls students who have passed the Class X exam, 12,500 for those girls who passed high Secondary, and Rs. 25,000 for those girls students who passed graduate schemes have been taken and for this seeking cooperation in the survey required for the implementation of this scheme.
However, Guwahati Lok Sabha Constituency Congress Candidate Mira Borthakur Goswami has already clearly alleged the form distribution among the village women for seeking votes for the BJP during the MCC.
