Will work as per our agenda, not theirs: Delhi CM slams AAP over poll promise issue
Mar-05-2025

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and said that the opposition party cannot decide the agenda of her government. She also reiterated the BJP government's commitment to fulfilling the election promises.

Addressing a press conference, Rekha Gupta said, ‘Nobody needs to remind us how many days are left... We will work as per our agenda; they will not dictate it.’ Gupta highlighted the ongoing consultations with women organisations for the upcoming enhanced Delhi Budget and said the discussions covered various issues including health, security and economic empowerment. 

Delhi CM announced that in the next three days she will visit slums to interact with women and understand their concerns. Apart from this, she is also planning to engage with youth to know their perspectives. Reiterating his commitment to implement all the promises made in the BJP's election manifesto, she said, ‘The upcoming Delhi Budget will fulfil the expectations of the people.’

The AAP is putting pressure on the newly formed BJP government in Delhi to expedite the implementation of its scheme of providing monthly assistance of Rs 2,500 to women. Earlier on Wednesday, AAP workers put up posters across Delhi with the message ‘only three more days, ’seeking to build pressure on the BJP government over its ‘promise’ to roll out Rs 2,500 monthly financial assistance to women by March 8. March 8 is celebrated as International Women's Day.

On Tuesday, AAP workers led by opposition leader Atishi staged a protest outside the Mandi House metro station. The party is demanding a clear timeline from the newly elected BJP government in Delhi regarding the implementation of the scheme to provide financial assistance to women.
