Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha protests AAP's 'Mahila Samman Yojana' near Kejriwal's residence, accusing him of cheating women.
Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha leaders and workers on Thursday (December 26, 2024) protested near Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) supremo Arvind Kejriwal’s residence in New Delhi, accusing him of “cheating” the women of Delhi with the ‘Mahila Samman Yojana.’
The Bharatiya Janata Party (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 ₹1,100 per month as promised by the party in 2022.
The Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojna for a monthly payment of ₹1,000 was announced by the Delhi Government in its Budget for 2024-25. Mr. Kejriwal said this amount would be raised to ₹2,100 if AAP retains power in Delhi.
Led by BJP Mahila Morcha president Richa Pandey, the protesters marched from Ashoka Road to Mr. Kejriwal's residence on 5, Ferozeshah Road but were stopped by police. Some of the protesters climbed atop the barricades and raised slogans against Mr. Kejriwal and the AAP.

A similar scheme was announced by the AAP ahead of Punjab elections but after the party came to power, it failed to deliver on its promise of giving ₹1,100 per month to the women of Punjab, Mr. Pandey said.
“The AAP is again cheating the women of Delhi in the name of ‘Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana’,” she added. Assembly polls in Delhi are due in February next year.
