CM Atishi & Arvind Kejriwal initiate registration process

PUJARI-GRANTHI SAMMAN YOJANA

- 

NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has officially launched the 'Pujari-Granthi Samman Yojana', with AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi initiating the registration process for religious leaders across the city. The scheme, aimed at providing a monthly honorarium of Rs 18,000 to Pujaris and Granthis, was launched on Tuesday with great fanfare, despite attempts by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to stall the process.

The registration event began at Marghat Wale Baba Hanuman Mandir in ISBT, where Arvind Kejriwal, accompanied by his wife Sunita Kejriwal, performed 'Darshan Poojan' and registered the temple Mahant as the first beneficiary.

Kejriwal shared his experience on social media, saying, "Today I visited Marghat Baba's temple (ISBT) and launched the Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana. Today is the birthday of Mahant ji here. I also celebrated his birthday with him."
