Delhi Election 2025: Kejriwal’s Pre-Election Schemes Face Scrutiny as Delhi Govt Questions Legitimacy

In a major pre-election move, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal introduced two welfare schemes—Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana—with the aim of winning public support. Under the Mahila Samman Yojana, every woman in Delhi would receive ₹2,100 per month, while the Sanjeevani Yojana promises free medical treatment for senior citizens above 60. Registrations for both schemes began, but concerns have emerged over their authenticity. The Delhi government’s Women and Child Development Department raised questions about the legitimacy of these programs, casting doubts on their execution. With the elections drawing closer, opposition parties, including the BJP, have seized on these issues, accusing Kejriwal of using these schemes for political gain. The controversy has sparked a wider debate about the transparency and effectiveness of the proposed welfare measures.
