The Delhi government has approved the ‘Mahila Samridhi Yojana’, under which women will receive ₹2,500 per month as financial assistance. The scheme, aimed at providing economic support to women from underprivileged backgrounds, has been allocated ₹5,100 crore for one year.

Reacting to the approval, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva credited the initiative to his party’s commitment, stating, "Mahila Samridhi Yojana was our promise to the sisters of Delhi in our Sankalp Patra. I congratulate Chief Minister Rekha Gupta for approving it in the cabinet. Very soon, the poor women of Delhi will start receiving these ₹2,500."

However, he also took a swipe at the AAP government in Punjab, calling out Delhi Minister Atishi for what he described as "betrayal" towards women in Punjab. "Atishi should also write about the betrayal they have done to the sisters of Punjab," he remarked, suggesting that similar promises made in Punjab have not been fulfilled.

The scheme's approval comes amid growing political competition in Delhi, with the ruling AAP government and opposition BJP vying to position themselves as champions of women's welfare.
