Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot Announces Rs 1000 Monthly Scheme for Women Before Elections
Delhi Minister Kailash Gahlot has announced that the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, a scheme to provide Rs 1000 per month to women over 18 years old, will be implemented before the assembly elections in Delhi. This scheme was introduced during the budget session for the financial year 2024-25.
Details of the Scheme
Atishi, while announcing the scheme, stated, “Today we are introducing a revolutionary programme ‘Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana’ in which women above 18 years of age will be given 1000 rupees every month.” A budget of Rs 2,714 crore has been proposed for these beneficiaries in the 2024-25 budget.
Gahlot’s Commitment
Gahlot, who retains the ministries for transport, home, administrative reforms, and women and child development, took charge on Tuesday. He described himself as ‘Hanuman’ of Arvind Kejriwal and assured that he would complete all pending work. Gahlot said, “By becoming Hanuman of Arvind Kejriwal my priority is to complete all the pending works and ensure that Arvind Kejriwal becomes the Chief Minister of Delhi again.”
Support for Arvind Kejriwal
On CM Atishi leaving the chair vacant for Arvind Kejriwal, Gahlot said, “There is nothing wrong with it. This means that when Lord Ram went into exile for 14 years and Bharat had to take charge, that was also wrong which means that BJP is against Lord Ram. It is a part of Indian tradition to respect elders. There is nothing wrong with it.”
Gahlot emphasized that Kejriwal’s guidance will continue after Atishi took charge as Delhi CM. He said, “Arvind Kejriwal’s guidance as party’s national convenor will continue. Our only goal is to continue to work for the people of Delhi and to bring back Arvind Kejriwal. We will try to complete all the major works.”
