Punjab BJP’s women’s wing staged a demonstration against the ruling Aam Aadmi Party government for its unfulfilled poll promise of providing ₹1,000 monthly assistance to women, in Chandigarh on Saturday.
State women’s wing president Jai Inder Kaur accused the AAP government of betraying the women of Punjab and demanded the government to fulfill its unkept promise.
“In the run-up to the 2022 Assembly election, AAP announced to give a monthly allowance of ₹1,000 each to women in Punjab. Today, 45 months have passed, yet not a single rupee has reached the hands of the women who trusted it. This is a glaring reminder of the false promises that AAP has built its politics on,” Ms. Kaur said.
She accused AAP of deceiving the women who gave them a historic mandate in the 2022 election. “Arvind Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann have betrayed the trust of women, turning their so-called ‘guarantees’ into nothing but political fraud. No woman in Punjab feels safe today, with law and order collapsing under the AAP government. Every day, cases of snatching, assaults, and crimes surface across the State, exposing the grim reality of Punjab’s deteriorating security situation,” she added.
