BJP's women wing protests against AAP's aid scheme
Hindustan Times Uttarakhand|December 27, 2024
The women's wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday staged a protest near Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener chief Arvind Kejriwal's residence, accusing him of "cheating the women of Delhi" with the proposed Mahila Samman Yojana, a scheme which offers ₹2,100 per month to the Capital's women.

NEW DELHI:

The AAP hit back, claiming that the BJP's opposition reflects their lack of commitment to women's empowerment.

The Delhi government, in its 2024-25 Budget, had announced the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana for a monthly payment of ₹1,000 for all women voters in the Capital. Though the scheme is yet to take off, Kejriwal on December 12 said the amount will be raised to ₹2,100 if the AAP retains power in Delhi, and the party has been running a registration drive for the scheme over the last four days.

However, the state women and child development (WCD) department on December 25 issued a public notice, saying that the scheme is "non-existent" and is yet to be notified.

On Thursday, BJP workers marched from Ashoka Road to 5, Feroze Shah Road - Kejriwal's current residence - to protest against the scheme, but were stopped en route by police.
