BJP State General Secretary V. Sunil Kumar criticized the state government for stating that 'Gruha Lakshmi' funds are not the right of beneficiaries in the High Court. He questioned if the government is calling women's benefits a 'burden' on the state. Sunil questioned the government, stating, 'Did the government, which promised ₹2,000 per month to women during elections, now find itself unable to provide even two months' worth of money?' Opposition leader N. Ravikumar also demanded an explanation regarding the ₹5000 crore amount allegedly missing under the 'Gruha Lakshmi' scheme, noting the government has not provided a satisfactory answer on this matter.
