The expenses under the scheme would be around Rs 500 crore annually, which would be funded by completely eliminating corruption in the system, Arvind Kejriwal said.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday announced that it will increase the remuneration provided to women in Goa under a state-sponsored scheme and also promised financial assistance to women not covered under it, if it is voted to power in the forthcoming state Assembly elections.
"This is going to be the biggest and most important women empowerment programme in the world, not only in India," AAP's national convener Arvind Kejriwal claimed, while addressing a women''s convention in South Goa''s Navelim Assembly segment.
The expenses under the scheme would be around Rs 500 crore annually, which would be funded by the state government by completely eliminating corruption in the system, he said.
The Delhi chief minister is on a two-day visit to Goa, where the Assembly polls are due early next year.
