This scheme promises Rs 1,000 monthly to eligible women over 18 who don't pay taxes or receive other government benefits. Although announced, the program hasn't been implemented yet. AAP holds a strong majority in the Delhi Assembly, having won 67 seats in 2015 and 62 in 2020. The BJP is challenging AAP on issues like Yamuna river cleanup, road conditions, and the renovation costs of the Chief Minister's residence.<br><br>Beyond women’s welfare, the BJP is planning to focus on job security, wage revisions, and student scholarships. Another BJP official explained that the focus is on 'a large section of people who work in unorganised sectors and complain of lack of job security and the lack of minimum wages'. <br><div data-ga-impression="GrowFast_Web#Impression#url" class="growfast_widget custom_ad"><a data-ga-onclick="GrowFast_Web#Click#url" target="_blank" title="Growfast Logo" href="https://growfast.indiatimes.com/?ag=ET_Web"><img src="https://img.etimg.com/thumb/width-513,height-50,msid-115075348/growfast.jpg" alt="Growfast" height="40" width="410" loading="lazy"></a><div class="growfast_slider"><ul class="sliderContainer"><li><a data-ga-onclick="GrowFast_Web#Click#Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Executives" title="Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Executives" href="https://growfast.indiatimes.com/courses/financial-literacy-for-non-financial-executives/1475?ag=ET_Web"><div class="images_wrap"><img class="cover_img" src="https://img.etb2bimg.com/files/retail_files/1475_cover_image_1730877963_49448.jpg" loading="lazy" height="80" width="300" alt="Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Executives"><img class="author_img" loading="lazy" height="56" width="56" alt="" src="https://img.etb2bimg.com/files/retail_files/expert_picture_1730266385_1730266385_40980.jpg"></div><div class="details"><p class="category">Finance</p><p class="course_name">Financial Literacy for Non-Finance Executives</p><p class="author_name">By -

The saffron party secured a massive victory in the western state where it got 132 seats out of the total 288.According to the TOI report, BJP is mulling on a Maharashtra's Ladki Behna Yojana like direct cash transfer scheme for Delhi. The Maharashtra program provides Rs 1,500 monthly to eligible women aged 21-65 with annual family incomes below Rs 2.5 lakh, limiting participation to one unmarried woman per household.A senior BJP official told the paper that the Delhi scheme is under development, but it is still at the formation stage. He confirmed the party is replicating successful welfare strategies from Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, emphasizing women-focused programs.The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government has also proposed a monthly cash transfer scheme for women, the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, with a Rs 2,000 crore budget allocation. This scheme promises Rs 1,000 monthly to eligible women over 18 who don't pay taxes or receive other government benefits. Although announced, the program hasn't been implemented yet. AAP holds a strong majority in the Delhi Assembly, having won 67 seats in 2015 and 62 in 2020. The BJP is challenging AAP on issues like Yamuna river cleanup, road conditions, and the renovation costs of the Chief Minister's residence.Beyond women’s welfare, the BJP is planning to focus on job security, wage revisions, and student scholarships. Another BJP official explained that the focus is on 'a large section of people who work in unorganised sectors and complain of lack of job security and the lack of minimum wages'. The party will also focus on contractual jobs in its manifesto.", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-115654074,resizemode-4,width-1200,height-900,imgsize-82022,overlay-economictimes/articleshow.jpg", "width": 1200, "height": 900 }, "author": { "@type": "Thing", "name": "ET Online" }, "publisher": { "@type": "NewsMediaOrganization", "name": "Economic Times", "logo": { "@type": "ImageObject", "url": "https://img.etimg.com/thumb/msid-76939477,width-600,height-60,quality-100/economictimes.jpg", "width": 600, "height": 60 } } , "isAccessibleForFree" : "https://schema.org/False", "hasPart": { "@type": "WebPageElement", "isAccessibleForFree": "https://schema.org/False", "cssSelector" : ".paywall" }, "isPartOf": { "@type": ["CreativeWork", "Product"], "name" : "Economic Times", "productID": "prime.economictimes.indiatimes.com:prime" } }</script><script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://schema.org/", "@type" : "WebPage", "name" : "After Maha boost, BJP wants 'Ladki Behna' like direct bank transfer scheme for Delhi polls", "speakable" : { "@type": "SpeakableSpecification", "cssSelector" : [".article_wrap h1", ".artSyn h2"] }, "url": "https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/after-maha-boost-bjp-wants-ladki-behna-like-direct-bank-transfer-scheme-for-delhi-polls/articleshow/115654100.cms" } </script><script type="text/javascript"> //set iframe height on load (function(){ $('#toispecials-iframe').height($(window).height()); })(); /* function scrollIframeToTop() { setTimeout(function() { $('body, html').animate({ scrollTop: $menuEl.offset().top }, 800); }, 500); } scrollIframeToTop(); */ </script><script> var countryCode = window.geoinfo && geoinfo.CountryCode; if (countryCode === "IN"){ $('.inSideInd').addClass("show"); $('.outsideInd').remove(); } else{ $('.outsideInd').addClass("show"); $('.inSideInd').remove(); } window.onload = function() { // setFont(); }; </script><div class="blocker_wrap hidden"><section class="font_mon login_blocker hidden"><div class="lb_head tac">Continue reading with one of these options:</div><div class="lb_box_cont"><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Limited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt">Free</div><div class="lb_boxd">Login to get access to some exclusive stories<br> &amp; personalised newsletters</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('login')" class="lb_boxbtn">Login Now</div></div></div><div class="lb_box"><div class="lb_boxb"><div class="lb_boxh">Unlimited Access</div><div class="lb_boxt lb_pr">Starting @ Rs120/month</div><div class="lb_boxd">Get access to exclusive stories, expert opinions &amp;<br> in-depth stock reports</div><div onclick="objPrimePaywall.cta('plan')" class="lb_boxbtn">Subscribe Now</div></div></div></div></section><div class="loader_box"><div class="spinner"><div class="loading-text">ET</div></div></div><section class="font_mon prime_paywall"><style> .articleBlockerWrap {width: 650px;background: #ffe9e2;height: 251px;display: none;margin: 2% auto 2%;box-shadow: 0 12px 20px 0 rgb(0 0 0 / 13%);} .articleBlocker {background: #ffe9e2;border: 7px solid white;padding: 28px 22px;width: 567px;margin: auto;text-align: left;position: relative;min-height: 149px;} .articleBlocker h4 {font-size: 24px;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.27;} .articleBlocker p {font-size: 16px;margin: 15px 0;} .articleBlocker button {background: #ed193b;color: white;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 800;margin: auto;width: 215px;height: 37px;border-radius: 2px;position: absolute;animation: .18s linear infinite alternate slide;} @keyframes slide {from {left: 15px;}to {left: 30px;;}} .articleBlocker button:hover {animation-play-state: paused;cursor: pointer;} .articleBlocker img {position: absolute;right: 22px;height: 120px;bottom: 0;} </style><div data-paywall="true" data-grx-impression="Subscription Flow ET Articleshow Blocker#Scroll Blocker Impression#Blocker layer Viewed" class="articleBlockerWrap"><div class="articleBlocker"><h4>Uh-oh!
