Leader of Opposition Atishi has accused the BJP of failing to fulfill its pre-election promise of providing ₹2,500 per month to women in Delhi. In a video posted on X, she reminded Prime Minister Narendra Modi of his commitment, stating that women across the capital are still waiting for the promised funds to be credited to their bank accounts.
“During the election campaign, PM Modi had assured ₹2,500 for all women by March 8. That money has yet to arrive,” Atishi remarked. The Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, a key pledge in the BJP’s manifesto during the Delhi Assembly elections, was intended to provide financial aid to women in the national capital.
On International Women’s Day, Atishi took a dig at the BJP, saying, “Today, all the women of Delhi are staring at their phones, waiting for a message confirming the deposit.” She further urged the Prime Minister to honor his commitment, cautioning that failure to do so would prove it was nothing more than a “jhumla” (false promise).
