5,000 every household head if they win the state Assembly elections in 2022.According to the partys Lok Sabha MP Mahua Moitra, the scheme, which has already been implemented by the party in West Bengal, would benefit nearly 3.51 lakh households in the coastal state."The Griha Laxmi initiative is a pioneering and transformative scheme for the people of Goa.The scheme has already been implemented in West Bengal," Moitra said on Saturday.Direct benefit cash transfers will make the monthly benefit of Rs.5,000 available to eligible households.Moitra stated that the scheme will cover as many as 3.51 million households.The scheme will be universal, she said.

"Nobel laureate Abhijit Banerjees study says that demonetisation and Covid have shrunk the economy.The best thing is to kickstart the economy and local economy is to pump in money.
