Navelim, Dec 5: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday promised to provide Rs 1,000 per month to every woman above the age of 18 years in Goa if his party came to power.
“Griha Aadhar benefit for women will be increased from Rs 1500 to Rs 2500 per month. Rs 1000 per month will be given to every female over 18 years. This is the biggest and the most effective women empowerment program in the world,” said Kejriwal while addressing a public gathering in Navelim.
“They say Kejriwal is giving ‘freebies’. Till date, only Ministers used to get freebies on taxpayers’ money. What leaders are getting is a freebie, what people are getting is their right,” he added.
