Will Women in Delhi Receive ₹2,500 on Women’s Day? BJP Leaders Remain Vague

As International Women’s Day (March 8) approaches, questions are rising about the implementation of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in Delhi. Chief Minister Rekha Gupta had promised that the first installment of ₹2,500 would be credited to eligible women’s accounts by this date.

However, BJP Delhi President Virendraa Sachdeva hinted at the scheme’s rollout but did not confirm the exact date. “Things will become clear soon,” he said.
