Women in Delhi to get Rs 2,500 monthly aid by Mar 8: CM Rekha Gupta


Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Thursday assured that her government will fulfill its promise of providing Rs 2,500 monthly assistance to women and added that the AAP would be held accountable for its actions during its rule.
The first installment of the monthly support would be credited to eligible women’s accounts by March 8, Gupta told reporters.
Ahead of the polls, the BJP’s manifesto aimed to outdo the Aam Aadmi Party’s announcement of Rs 2,100 monthly support if it came to power.
Meanwhile, Rekha Gupta was sworn in as Delhi chief minister on Thursday.
Along with her, Parvesh Verma, Ashish Sood, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, Kapil Mishra, Ravinder Indraj Singh, Kapil Mishra and Pankaj Singh were also administered the oath of office by Lt Governor V K Saxena.
