Speaking to ANI, Sachdeva stated, 'Our government is committed to working for every sector of society, ensuring progress for all. Await March 8 for further details.'

Major Event at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium
Sources say that on March 8, BJP plans a grand event at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, expecting around 5,000 women from across Delhi to attend. Prominent leaders, including BJP National President JP Nadda and CM Rekha Gupta, may grace the event. The BJP announced the ₹2500 aid plan as a counter to AAP's proposed Women's Honor Scheme before the Delhi assembly elections.
Despite AAP's defeat, with Rekha Gupta assuming office on February 20, senior AAP leader Atishi pressed for the scheme's implementation. In response, CM Gupta assured that directions from AAP were unwarranted, stating the plan would commence at an appropriate time, hinting at a March 8 announcement.

She mentioned, 'On my second day in the assembly, Atishi visited my office, inquiring about the ₹2500 aid. I assured Atishi not to worry, our promises will be fulfilled.' After winning 48 out of 70 seats in the Delhi elections, BJP appointed Rekha Gupta as the Chief Minister, while AAP secured 22 seats.
