Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced on Saturday the approval of the Mahila Samridhi Yojana, which promises to provide eligible women with a monthly allowance of Rs 2,500. The BJP government in the state, which had heavily promoted the scheme during its election campaign, has allocated a budget of Rs 5,100 crore for its implementation. A committee headed by CM Gupta will oversee the scheme's implementation, and a web portal for registrations will also be launched. However, the Opposition AAP has criticized the BJP for the delay in launching the scheme.
