Rs. 10000/- Gift for Vote in Bihar Election

No, there are no reports of any political party secretly handing out ₹10,000 cash envelopes to individual voters in Bihar. That would be a criminal offence (bribery under Section 171B of the IPC + violation of the Model Code of Conduct) and the Election Commission’s flying squads have seized only cash meant for illegal distribution, not ₹10,000 gifts.

What IS happening (and why everyone is talking about “₹10,000”)

The Bihar government (NDA – Nitish Kumar + BJP) launched the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana in September 2025.

  • Who gets it? 1.51 crore+ women (mostly Jeevika self-help group members).
  • How much? ₹10,000 seed capital directly into their bank accounts (DBT).
  • When? In 6–7 instalments: 26 Sep (75 lakh), 3 Oct (25 lakh), 17/24/31 Oct (10–12 lakh each), next on 7 Nov (4 days before Phase-2 polling).
  • Purpose (official): Start a micro-business (kirana, tailoring, animal husbandry, etc.).

Why the opposition calls it “vote-buying”

  • Scheme was announced 10 days before poll dates and launched 1 week before MCC.
  • Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi told rallies in Begusarai (1 Nov):

    “Take the ₹10,000, put it in your pocket, but vote very carefully. Don’t sell your vote. They ignored you for 20 years; now they remember only because they need power.”

According to legends, Maharaja Patiala saw a man who was carrying a lion on his back. On being asked, it was found that the man had killed the lion without a weapon. The king asked him to join his army. At the instance of the king, he joined the army. The person's name was Cheta Ram Jatav. Cheta Ram fought the British.
