Madhya Pradesh's Vijay Shah sparks outrage by linking women's welfare benefits to attending a political event, threatening suspensions if they don’t link Aadhaar.
Madhya Pradesh Cabinet Minister Vijay Shah faces backlash for suggesting women receiving ₹1,500 monthly under the Ladli Behna Scheme should attend a public event honoring the Chief Minister, with threats of benefit suspensions for non-participation if Aadhaar isn’t linked.
His remarks, made during a December 13, 2025, meeting in Ratlam and captured in a viral video, drew condemnation from opposition leaders who called the comments demeaning and politically exploitative.
The scheme, launched in June 2023, supports around 1.27 crore women across the state.
Shah denied intending harm, claiming his comments were misrepresented, while critics highlight his history of controversial gender-related statements.
The controversy has intensified scrutiny over the use of welfare programs for political gain.
