Pune: The 'Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Bahin' Scheme has received tremendous response in the state, especially from women. That is why the Nationalist Congress Party is launching the new 'Maha-Rashtravadi WhatsApp Helpline' initiative which will help utilise the existing technology to reach people swiftly. NCP National President and Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated that the initiative is set to be a lifeline for the women of the state during a press conference held on Thursday.

Pawar said that NCP's Jan Sanman Yatra reached 22 constituencies and plans to visit the remaining ones soon. During this yatra, the party received overwhelming love and support, particularly from women. Popular schemes such as 'Chief Minister Majhi Ladki Bahin', Three Free Gas Cylinders, and Free Electricity for Farmers have garnered thunderous support and widespread popularity.

"To ensure all beneficiaries receive their entitlements without difficulty, we are launching the 'Maha-Rashtravadi WhatsApp Helpline'. The helpline can be accessed by sending a message to 9861717171. Many government schemes exist but do not reach the people. The helpline will offer assistance in three languages. For those who are not digitally literate, our workers will provide home assistance for help," Ajit Pawar said, adding that this initiative will allow people to lodge complaints about corruption.

"We are setting up a call center capable of handling approximately 50,000 issues daily. The objective is to reach as many people as possible and ensure beneficiaries receive their rightful benefits. The initiative may take time to succeed, but we are committed to making it transparent and accountable," he added.
