Kejriwal vows to give Rs 1,000 per month to Punjab women

Chandigarh: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday promised to transfer Rs 1,000 per month into the accounts of all women in Punjab, if Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is voted to power in the 2022 Assembly polls. In addition, the elderly women will get a hike of Rs 1,000 in the monthly old-age pension.

Terming his Punjab counterpart Charanjit Channi, a "fake" Kejriwal, the Delhi Chief Minister said this was the world's biggest women empowerment programme. "All women above 18 would get this benefit, which would go a long way in the economic uplift of women in society," Kejriwal, who is on a two-day visit to the state, announced at a public meeting in Moga town.
