BJP Holds Protest Against AAP Scheme
The Morning Standard
|December 27, 2024
Leaders and members of the BJP Mahila Morcha staged a protest near AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal's residence here on Thursday, accusing him of "cheating" the women of Delhi with the "Mahila Samman Yojana".
-
The BJP claimed that a similar scheme was announced by the AAP ahead of the Punjab Assembly polls but the women there are yet to receive Rs 1,100 per month as promised by the party in 2022.
The Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana for a monthly payment of Rs 1,000 was announced by the Delhi government in its budget for 2024-25. Kejriwal has said the amount would be raised to Rs 2,100 if the AAP retains power in Delhi.
Led by BJP Mahila Morcha president Richa Pandey, the protesters marched from Ashoka Road to Kejriwal's 5, Ferozeshah Road residence but were stopped by police. Some of the protesters climbed atop the police barricades and raised slogans against Kejriwal and the AAP.
