Kejriwal's Freebie Blitz Ahead of Delhi Polls

This comes after Arvind Kejriwal announced a welfare scheme 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana.' Under this, priests of temples and 'granthis' of Gurudwaras will receive a monthly salary of Rs 18,000.  

He said, "This is happening for the first time in the country. The priest is a class that has carried forward the rituals from generation to generation. They never paid attention to their family, and we never paid attention to them."  

The 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana' follows the introduction of the 'Sanjivani Scheme' and the ‘Mahila Samman Yojana’ by AAP. 

The Sanjeevani Yojana aims to provide free treatment to residents over 60 years at all city hospital, including both private and government centres. While Mahila Samman Yojana promises Rs 2,100 per month to women of the capital.
