New Delhi: The Delhi government on Saturday approved the ‘Mahila Samridhi Yojana’ to provide ₹2,500 to women. “Today is Women’s Day. We had our cabinet meeting today, and our cabinet has approved the scheme – the promise that we made during the Delhi elections to provide ₹2500 to the women,” Delhi chief minister Rekha Gupta announced.
A special committee led by Rekha Gupta and also comprising ministers Ashish Sood, Virender Sachdeva, and Kapil Sharma will oversee the implementation of the scheme. Also, a portal will be launched where eligible beneficiaries can register. Terms and conditions will also be laid down on the same portal.
AAP ATTACKS DELHI GOVERNMENT AFTER SCHEME APPROVAL
Meanwhile, the AAP, which has been on the offensive ever since Rekha Gupta assumed charge on February 20 over the implementation of the scheme, once again attacked the BJP government, saying that the party has betrayed the women of Delhi.
Leader of Opposition Atishi Marlena has targeted the BJP. She said that, Modi ji had promised in the Delhi Assembly elections – ₹2500 will be deposited in the account of every woman of Delhi on Women’s Day. He had said – this is “Modi’s guarantee!” Today is March 8, neither money came in the account, nor registration started, only a 4-member committee was found. That is, after digging a mountain, a mouse came out.
The AAP leader said that today is 8th March, women of Delhi kept waiting for the message on their phones. But today, the BJP-led government has proved that this was not a guarantee from PM Modi but a Jumla. Atishi further said that, leave alone giving money, they did not even get a portal for registration on which they could fill their name. They got only a committee of 4 members.
Taking a jibe at the BJP, Atishi said that there is a saying, “After digging a mountain, a mouse came out.” The women of Delhi have been cheated even today. They were promised Rs 2500 in their accounts but they got a four-member committee. They got a toy. The AAP leader said that the women of Delhi have been cheated a lot. They have been given a toy. She said that the BJP government of Delhi has made it clear that PM Modi had lied to the women of Delhi.
