Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal announced the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, promising ₹2,100 monthly assistance for Delhi women aged 18+. The hike from the earlier ₹1,000 pledge comes ahead of the 2025 Delhi Assembly polls. While registrations begin tomorrow, disbursements will wait until after elections are announced. Kejriwal criticized BJP for delaying the scheme, citing his arrest in a liquor policy case. The former CM, released in September, resigned days later. Kejriwal emphasized the scheme’s impact, calling it a “blessing” for mothers and sisters, aimed at empowering women and addressing inflation challenges.
