Atishi's ‘breaking promises’ allegation after Delhi CM Rekha Gupta's first Cabinet meeting

Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Atishi on Thursday accused Delhi's new, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government of ‘breaking its promise’ after chief minister Rekha Gupta-led cabinet, in its first meeting, passed two agenda items, which did not include the proposal to provide financial assistance of ₹2,500 per month, a pre-poll promise from the saffron party for Delhi's women.

The BJP has “made up its mind” to “cheat” the people, Atishi, CM Rekha Gupta's predecessor, claimed.

“The BJP had promised that in the first cabinet meeting itself, they would pass the scheme in which the women of Delhi would be getting ₹2,500. The new CM Rekha Gupta and her cabinet ministers took oath. In the evening, at 7 pm, the first cabinet meeting took place. The women were expecting that scheme to be passed,” Atishi said in a self-made video on X.
