Delhi CM Defends Three-Child Limit in Lakshmi Yojana Financial Aid Scheme
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta defended the three-child cap in the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana, emphasizing women's health and opposing the mindset of having multiple children to secure a son. The scheme offers Rs 2,500 monthly to eligible women aged 21-60, excluding those with more than three children or high household power consumption. Gupta criticized previous AAP and Congress governments for not implementing similar financial aid. Registration continues until 17 lakh women are covered, with the first installment expected around Raksha Bandhan. Opposition raised concerns about eligibility and application processes.
