He asked the BJP to start doing the same rather than criticizing him for introducing a scheme for the religious men.
Kejriwal announced the Pujari-Granthi Samman Yojana at Marghat Wale Baba Hanuman Mandir, near the ISBT Kashmiri Gate, where the AAP chief along with his wife Sunita Kejriwal, worshipped Lord Hanuman and registered temple priests.
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi visited Gurdwara Sahib in Karol Bagh, registering Granthis as part of the Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana.
Sharing a few snippets from his visit to the Marghat Baba Temple to inaugurate the scheme, Kejriwal wrote on his X handle (formerly Twitter), "Today I visited Marghat Baba's temple (ISBT) and launched the Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana. Today is the birthday of Mahantji here. I also celebrated his birthday with him."
On BJP's reaction to the said scheme, AAP national convener expressed taking to social media saying, "Since the announcement of the 'Pujari-Granthi Samman Yojana', BJP leaders have been hurling abuses at me. My question to them is: will abusing me benefit the nation? Your party governs 20 states, including Gujarat, where you've ruled for 30 years. Why haven't you honored pujaris and granthis there? Start now-I've shown you the way."
