BJP Mahila Morcha protests near Kejriwal's house over Mahila Samman scheme

New Delhi: Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha leaders and workers on Thursday protested near AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal's residence here, 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 elections but the women



there were yet to receive Rs 1,100 per month as promised by the party in 2022.

The Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojna for a monthly payment of Rs 1,000 was announced by the Delhi government in its budget for 2024-25. Kejriwal said this amount would be raised to Rs 2,100 if AAP retains power in Delhi.
