JDS questions government over mandatory linking of husband's Aadhaar for Gruha Lakshmi scheme

The opposition JDS questioned the government regarding the mandatory linking of the husband's Aadhaar for the 'Gruha Lakshmi' scheme. The opposition questioned why the government, which previously announced direct payments of ₹2000 to women's accounts, now requires the husband's Aadhaar and facial verification. The Women and Child Development Department introduced these new rules, stating that the account must be in the beneficiary's name and address, and the husband's Aadhaar card must be mandatorily linked.
