He also urged the women of the national capital to ensure their names are included in the voter list to avail of the Rs 2100 monthly benefit under the Mahila Samman Yojana.
Sharing an incident where a woman reported that her vote had been cancelled, Kejriwal said, “Today, when we went to start the registration for ‘Mahila Samman Yojana,’ a sister told me that someone had got her vote cancelled. We will get her vote reinstated. But I want to tell all my mothers and sisters of Delhi that you should all check your vote. It is necessary to have your name in the voter list to receive Rs 2100 every month,” he added.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Atishi tweeted, “A new era of women empowerment is beginning with the registration of ‘Mahila Samman Yojana’ in Delhi. Today, I registered the initial beneficiaries of this scheme with Arvind Kejriwal.”
