Delhi's Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, is set to make substantial announcements for the women of Delhi today. Sources reveal that the Cabinet meeting at the Delhi Secretariat has already sanctioned the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana. JP Nadda might announce the registration date soon. Women holding BPL cards will stand to benefit from this scheme.
Addressing the public at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Delhi, Rekha Gupta said, "I have been involved with the organization since 1993, and Nadda Ji has been our mentor since those days. Coming from a family of three sisters and one brother, I understand how tough it is for girls. When I contested the Delhi University elections, my mother said elections aren't for girls, but my father encouraged me. My party stood by me, found me at home, and asked me to work in mainstream politics and society."
She further stated that many spoke about providing 33% reservation, but the bill would be introduced and then torn up. The leader who realized that the country's progress won't be spurred by a single community set this into motion. Modi Ji is running an agenda for women's respect throughout the nation, similarly, we are pursuing it in Delhi.
Rekha Gupta mentioned, "We have planned everything with the central government that will make Delhi more secure and prosperous. In the past 15 days, our government discussed various schemes crucial for the sisters of Delhi. Efforts will be made to increase the number of pink police stations."
