Delhi Congress Alleges Registration Hurdles in BJP's Lakshmi Yojana Scheme
Delhi Congress chief Devender Yadav alleged that the BJP-led Delhi government's Delhi Lakshmi Yojana registration process is slow and restrictive, citing hurdles like a 10-year residency proof, digital literacy gaps, and limited correction options. He claimed only 5.9 lakh women registered in 12 days against a 17 lakh target, risking exclusion of many eligible poor women. The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, has defended the eligibility criteria. The scheme promises Rs 2,500 monthly assistance to selected women starting August 28.
