Kejriwal promises Rs 1000 per month for every woman above 18 if AAP wins Punjab
“It will be world’s largest ‘women allowance’ scheme to be implemented by any government ever. Each woman above 18 years of age in each household will get Rs 1,000 every month in their bank accounts,” Kejriwal said.
Aam Aadmi Party chief Arvind Kejriwal on Monday announced that every woman aged 18 and above will be given Rs 1000 per month in their bank accounts if his party forms government in Punjab in the upcoming Assembly elections in 2022.
“It will be world’s largest ‘women allowance’ scheme to be implemented by any government ever. Each woman above 18 years of age in each household will get Rs 1,000 every month in their bank accounts,” he added.
Elderly women who are getting an old-age pension will continue to get that in addition to the Rs 1,000 to be credited into their accounts, Kejriwal, who started his two-day Punjab visit on Monday as part of AAP’s “Mission Punjab” programme, said while addressing a gathering in Moga district.
In an apparent dig at Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi, Kejriwal said, “these days a ‘nakli Kejriwal’ is roaming in Punjab. Whatever I promise, he announces it the next day but doesn’t implement it. Beware of him. Only asli Kejriwal can fulfil what he promises”.
