AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced the launch of the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojna to give monthly assistance of Rs 1,000 to women in Delhi, and promised the amount would be raised to Rs 2,100 after the elections.
However, he clarified the elections are likely to be announced soon and therefore the money could be credited to beneficiaries’ accounts only after the polls.
The announcement comes as Delhi gears up for assembly elections in February 2025, with AAP eyeing a third consecutive term. Kejriwal said the Delhi Cabinet led by Chief Minister Atishi has approved the scheme and women can begin their registration from Friday.
