Give Rs 1,000 monthly allowance to women in state: AAP to govt
The president of the women’s wing of Gujarat AAP has also written to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel demanding the allowance for the women.
Citing the recently announced government scheme of Rs 1,000 in monthly allowance for women in Madhya Pradesh, AAP leader Reshma Patel Thursday demanded a similar scheme for women in Gujarat from the state government. “We are sad that while (AAP national convenor and Delhi Chief Minister) Arvind Kejriwal made a promise of giving Rs 1,000 to women of Gujarat, the BJP leaders running the government insulted the rights of women by ridiculing it as ‘revdi’,” she stated in a veiled reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘revdi’ remarks in the run-up to the Gujarat and Himachal Pradesh Assembly elections last year.
The president of the women’s wing of Gujarat AAP has also written to Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel demanding the allowance for the women. “Women of Madhya Pradesh getting Rs 1,000 is a matter of great joy for us… Now, we demand respect. We demand our rights. We demand that women of Gujarat be given Rs 1,000 which is their right,” she stated in her letter to the CM.
Addressing a press conference in Rajkot, Reshma said that women of Gujarat also deserve samman (respect) just like their Madhya Pradesh counterparts.
Reshma emphasised that both Gujarat and MP are currently ruled by the BJP and said that if the Gujarat government does not give Rs 1,000 monthly allowance to Gujarat women, it would be seen as injustice and the party discriminating against the women in the state. “If the Gujarat government does not respond to our demand, the women wing of AAP will launch an intense agitation against the government,” she warned.
