A major gift from the Yogi government ahead of Raksha Bandhan: free bus travel for elderly women on roadways buses.

Ahead of the 2027 assembly elections, the Yogi government has played a masterstroke by offering a significant gift to the state’s elderly women. The Yogi cabinet has approved a proposal allowing women aged 60 and above to travel for free on UP Roadways buses. This decision is expected to benefit over ten million women across the state and is being viewed as a major relief for senior women. Meanwhile, the move has also sparked political debate. While this masterstroke by the Yogi government has undoubtedly caused sleepless nights for the opposition, the extent of its electoral impact will only be determined by the results of the 2027 elections.
