Delhi BJP president J.P. Nadda, on Friday (January 17, 2025) announced the BJP manifesto ‘Mahila Samriddhi Yojana’ in New Delhi.

In their manifesto, the BJP promised ₹2,500 to women of Delhi through direct benefit transfers every month.

Mr. Nadda said “We will provide LPG cylinders for ₹500 to women from poor families, and one free cylinder each on the occasion of Holi Deepawali.”

  

He further added that “We will provide 6 nutritional kits and assistance of 21,000 to every pregnant woman under Chief Minister Matrivita Suraksha Yojana.”

Addressing a press conference while releasing the first part of the ‘Sankalp Patra’, Mr. Nadda said the party’s manifesto is the foundation for a developed Delhi.

He also assured all existing public welfare schemes in Delhi will continue if the BJP is voted to power.

Hitting out at the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party, he said all corruption charges in the existing public welfare schemes will be investigated.

He promised that a BJP-led Delhi government will approve implementation of the ‘Ayushman Bharat ‘ in the city in its first Cabinet meeting, and also give additional health cover of ₹5 lakh.
