Bajwa accuses AAP of reneging from its promise of a monthly allowance for women
Chandigarh 29 January ( Ranjeet Singh Dhaliwal ) : The Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Punjab Assembly, Partap Singh Bajwa, on Wednesday, lashed out at the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab Government for reneging on its much-hyped promise to provide Rs 1000 per month to women over the age of 18. "While referring to a senior Punjab Government official, a leading newspaper in India has said that the government was collecting data on income tax payees and other women voters. If at all, the scheme is implemented, it will only be extended to non-income-tax-paying women. The government official also claims, as of now, it seems impossible. It remains to be seen how much the government can pay, but income tax payees will definitely not be included," Bajwa said. Pointing a finger at the AAP government in Punjab, Bajwa said that along with a non-income-tax-paying cap, the government may also put other restrictions. However, the promise was to provide Rs 1000 PM to all women over 18 years. Now after three into power, the AAP government is planning to extend the scheme to non-income-tax-paying women only. The CM Bhagwant Mann government is certainly backtracking on its commitment. It has been proven once again that the AAP made lofty promises before the assembly election in 2022 to garner votes only. "Meanwhile the AAP has made a similar hollow promise in Delhi. The AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal is promising Rs 2,100 per month for women of Delhi. The voters of Delhi must take Punjab's example into account and vote the AAP out in the upcoming assembly elections," Bajwa added.
