NEW DELHI: Leader of Opposition in the Delhi Assembly and AAP leader Atishi on Tuesday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has failed to fulfil its election promise of providing Rs 2,500 to women in the national capital, according to news agency ANI. She said the ‘Modi ki guarantee’ announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi remains unimplemented even a year after the promised deadline.Addressing the press conference in the national capital, Atishi said, “In January 2025, ahead of Delhi elections, PM Narendra Modi had promised that on 8th March 2025, every woman in Delhi will get Rs 2500 in her account. He had said it is ‘Modi ki guarantee’…Modi ji, even 8th March 2026 has gone by now, but the women of Delhi didn’t get even 25 paise in their accounts. Delhi CM Rekha Gupta goes to campaign in West Bengal for elections. There, she says that money would be given to the women of Bengal. She deceived the women of Delhi and got their votes on a false promise, but the women of Delhi are still asking her when they will get the Rs 2500.” Accordin to news agency ANI, Atishi further accused the BJP of creating difficulties for women in the city by curtailing access to public services, claiming that several Mohalla Clinics have been shut and transport benefits have been altered.“BJP left no stone unturned in troubling the women of Delhi. Women who could travel in DTC comfortably because they would have got free tickets are now queuing up for the Pink Card. Women who received free medicines in Mohalla Clinic and got free medical treatment there are now going from pillar to post because the BJP shut down 100-150 Mohalla Clinics. They are about to shut down the remaining ones, too. So, in the 1-day session, we have just one question for the BJP – when will the Rs 2500 come?” she said.
