She stated that all 48 BJP MLAs in Delhi are committed to ensuring that every promise made to the people is fulfilled without delay. The first installment will be transferred by March 8, which also marks International Women’s Day, making the occasion even more meaningful. This scheme aims to provide direct financial support to women, helping them achieve greater financial independence and stability.

BJP’s Major Promises in the Delhi Elections

The BJP secured 48 out of 70 seats in the Delhi Assembly elections, defeating the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which had promised ₹2,100 per month to women if re-elected. As part of its election manifesto, the BJP announced several key welfare schemes, including:

• ₹2,500 per month financial aid to women
• ₹21,000 assistance for pregnant women
• ₹500 subsidy on gas cylinders and one free cylinder on Holi and Diwali
• Atal Canteen Scheme, providing meals for just ₹5
• Nutritional kits for pregnant women
• Implementation of Ayushman Bharat Yojana, ensuring ₹5 lakh health insurance coverage for Delhi residents
• Pension of up to ₹3,000 for senior citizens

With Rekha Gupta set to take charge as Delhi CM, the BJP government in Delhi is expected to implement these schemes without delay, offering financial relief to women and weaker sections of society.
