New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party Delhi President Virendra Sachdeva on Sunday said that media reports from Punjab are indicating that after the announcement of Rs 2,500 for women in Delhi, a similar demand is being raised by Punjab voters.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders are unable to respond to the demands of Punjab women and are making irrational statements out of political frustration, Sachdeva said.
Hitting out at AAP leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Atishi for criticising the Delhi government over the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana announced on Saturday, the Delhi BJP President said that women in Punjab are now asking when the Arvind Kejriwal-Bhagwant Mann government will start providing the promised women’s allowance in that state.
He said for the past 37 months, the AAP has been misleading women in Punjab about the women’s allowance, and now women across the country have recognised the party’s double standards.
He congratulated Delhi CM Rekha Gupta for announcing the constitution of a committee to formulate registration rules for the distribution of honorarium under the Mahila Samridhi Yojana.
She also made a provision of Rs 5,100 crore in the 2025-26 budget for Delhi.
Sachdeva said that the provision of Rs 5,100 crore clearly shows that the BJP government will soon begin distributing honorariums to the neglected sections of women in society and will fulfil Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s guarantee.
