Delhi Women to Receive Rs 2,500 Monthly Aid by March 8, Promises CM-Designate Rekha Gupta

New Delhi: As Delhi Chief Minister-designate Rekha Gupta is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of Delhi, she announced that the BJP government would fulfill its earlier promise of providing Rs 2,500 in monthly financial aid to women.

Promised as a special gift for Women’s Day, the first installment of the monthly support will be credited to women in Delhi by March 8, Gupta said.

Ahead of the polls, the BJP’s manifesto aimed to outdo the Aam Aadmi Party’s announcement of Rs 2,100 in monthly support if it came to power.

Gupta also reaffirmed that delivering on their promises is her top priority.

“Fulfilling the dream of Prime Minister Narendra Modi is the responsibility of all 48 BJP MLAs in the capital. We will definitely fulfill all our promises, including financial support for women. Women will 100 percent receive monetary support into their accounts by March 8,” she said.
