New Delhi [India], January 17 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha MP Manoj Tiwari on Friday expressed happiness after the party promised Rs 2500 to every woman in Delhi in its election manifesto ahead of the February 5 assembly polls.
Speaking to ANI, the BJP MP from the North East Delhi constituency asserted to the voters that all guarantees in the manifesto will be fulfilled after his party comes to power in the national capital. “Modi ki guarantee means guarantee poori hone ki guarantee.”
“Ever since I heard these, I can only think of the fact that PM Narendra Modi loves Delhi so much. As we had anticipated, just like Rs 2100 is being given to women in Maharashtra, there was a lot of buzz around this in Delhi. Every woman in Delhi was waiting to see what the BJP and Naendra Modi would do for Delhi. When the party’s national president announced today that women will be given Rs 2500 per month, in the form of mahila samman, I pinched myself to make sure that I was hearing it right,” Tiwari said.
“My joy knew no bounds. Now, people of Delhi will get their true rights. Because we know that the BJP does what it says,” the BJP MP added.
Earlier in the day, the BJP released its election manifesto, also called the ‘Sankalp Patra, with the party promising to give Rs 2,500 to every woman in Delhi every month through the Mahila Samridhi Yojana.
The party has also promised to continue all welfare schemes that are currently implemented in the national capital.
Speaking about the central government’s flagship health scheme, the BJP promised to implement Ayushman Bharat for 51 lakh people getting health insurance coverage for Rs 5 lakh from the first cabinet meeting itself.
“After forming the government in Delhi, we will implement the central government’s Ayushman Bharat for 51 lakh people, who were deprived of its benefits under AAP, in the first Cabinet meeting. Besides, we will provide additional cover of Rs 5 lakh,” he added.
BJP national president said that the ‘Sankalp Patra’ has been made after receiving mass feedback after holding thousands of meetings and getting ideas from constituents.
The Delhi Assembly elections are going to be held in a single phase on February 5, with counting to be done on February 8.
A three-way contest is on the cards in Delhi between the ruling AAP, BJP and Congress. Congress, which was in power for 15 consecutive years in Delhi, has suffered setbacks in the last two assembly elections and has failed to win any seat. AAP dominated the 2020 assembly elections by winning 62 out of 70 seats while the BJP got eight seats. (ANI)
