This incompetent NDA government has been sitting on it for two years. Finally, they had to bow down to our demand to increase the incentive amount for ASHA and Mamta workers," Yadav, who is also the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Bihar legislative assembly, posted on X. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Knee pain prices might surprise you Knee pain | search ads Find Now Undo He criticised the Nitish Kumar government for failing to implement the proposal in its entirety, saying that the workers must receive an honorarium instead of a mere incentive amount. "Here, the government has cunningly not fully implemented our demand. They should receive an honorarium, not just an incentive amount.
