New Delhi: Ludhiana, Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu criticised AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday, accusing his party of failing to deliver on its promise of providing Rs 1,000 to every woman in Punjab. He also claimed that Kejriwal’s party is now spreading the same unfulfilled promise in Delhi ahead of elections, PTI reported.
Bittu, who serves as the Minister of State for Railways and Food Processing Industries, said that Kejriwal, the former Delhi Chief Minister, has a history of deceit and his unkept promises are not worth trusting. He also pointed out that the AAP government in Punjab is yet to implement the Rs 1,000 per month promise made to women before the 2022 assembly elections.
Do not trust Kejriwal: Ravneet Bittu
“Kejriwal’s promise of ₹1,000 to every woman in Punjab in 2022 was a blatant lie, a deceitful tactic to lure voters. Three years have passed and the women of Punjab are still waiting for this promised financial support,” Bittu posted on X. “Now, he’s at it again, peddling a similar falsehood in Delhi, promising ₹2,100 to the women of Delhi. This is nothing but a treacherous attempt to manipulate voters once more,” Bittu alleged.
“I request the voters of Delhi: do not trust Kejriwal. He has a proven track record of deception, and his empty promises are not worth the risk. The women of Punjab have already fallen victim to his false assurances; don’t let the women of Delhi suffer the same fate,” Bittu said.
Kejriwal promises Rs 2,100 monthly aid for women
In its budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year, the Delhi government announced a scheme to provide Rs 1,000 per month to all adult women. However, Kejriwal recently said that the amount would be raised to Rs 2,100 if his party returns to power for a third consecutive term after the upcoming Delhi assembly elections.
