Delhi Assembly Elections: Congress Announces 'Pyari Didi Scheme', Pledges Rs 2,500 A Month For Women
The Delhi Congress on Monday announced the 'Pyari Didi Yojana' to give monthly financial assistance of Rs 2,500 to all eligible women in the city if it comes to power in the upcoming Assembly elections.
To impress Delhi voters, the party also invited Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar to the media briefing where he highlighted the success of a similar scheme in his state and called it a role model even for the BJP-ruled states.
"The 'Pyari Didi Yojana' will be approved in the very first Cabinet meeting of the Congress after it wins in Delhi," said Mr Shivakumar, seeking votes for the Congress based on the Karnataka model.
