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.”

Naravane, titled "Four Stars of Destiny" , during the ongoing Budget Session of Parliament in early February 2026. The book, which has been awaiting government clearance (from the Ministry of Defence) since around 2024 and is not publicly available in India, reportedly contains accounts of the 2020 India-China border standoff in Ladakh. Rahul Gandhi highlighted excerpts (often quoted from a The Caravan article or the manuscript) where Naravane allegedly describes feeling "abandoned" by the political leadership. A key line cited by Gandhi is that when Chinese tanks advanced or intruded, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed a message to Naravane: "Jo uchit samjho woh karo" ("Do whatever you think is appropriate"), im...

The 2020 Ladakh standoff

  The 2020 Ladakh standoff   The 2020 Ladakh standoff (also known as the 2020–2021 China–India skirmishes) was a major military confrontation along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, marking the most serious border crisis between India and China since the 1962 war.
