New Delhi: Chief Minister and Aam Adami Party leader Arvind Kejriwal promised 1 thousand rupees per month to women above 18 years in Uttarakhand if Aam Adami Party (AAP) is elected to power in the state. This announcement by Kejriwal was made on Tuesday.
Kejriwal made this announcement during his one-day visit to Kashipur area of US Nagar in Kumaon.
Kejriwal said, “By evening, all will start cursing him on TV channels where I will get the money for this. I will tell you where the money will come from. Uttarakhand budget is around ₹55000 crore. Isn’t corruption there in the state? In any work, how much corruption is there? Some say there is 60%, 80% corruption in the state. Let us say there is 20% corruption, so, 20% of 55,000 crores is around ₹11000 crore, which goes into pockets of politicians and then to Swiss banks,” he said.
Kejriwal said the announcement will have a financial implication of ₹3000 crore. “I will stop the money going to Swiss banks. So, the money going to Swiss banks will go into the pockets of women here. Tell this to all,” he said.
