Delhi Elections 2025: Before the Delhi Assembly elections 2025, Aam Aadmi Party convenor Arvind Kejriwal has made a big announcement ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections. Kejriwal announced 'Mahila Samman Yojana', which was approved in the Delhi Cabinet meeting on Thursday. Under the scheme, the AAP government is giving Rs 1,000 per month to women in the national capital. The amount will be increased to Rs 2,100 every month if AAP wins the election, scheduled to be held in February next year.

About 38 lakh of 67 lakh women in Delhi will be eligible for this scheme. Giving Mahila Samman Nidhi to all these women will put an additional burden of more than 4,000 crores on the Finance Department.
