Delhi MLA and Aam Aadmi Party Goa unit in-charge Atishi formally launched the registration drive in Panaji on Friday for Kejriwal's guarantee for women and participated in a door-to-door campaign in Calangute and Benaulim.
In a press release, AAP stated that Atishi, who was on a daylong visit in the state, started the registration drive from Calangute and Benaulim along with AAP leader Sudesh Mayekar and vice president Venzy Viegas and AAP ZP member Hanzel Fernandes, respectively.
AAP national convenor and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal had recently announced that if AAP is voted to power, payment for beneficiaries under the government’s Griha Aadhar scheme will be hiked from the current Rs 1,500 per month to Rs 2,500 per month. Besides, all women above 18 who can’t avail of the scheme owing to the one-beneficiary-per-household rule will get Rs 1,000 per month.
Atishi said, "Women make up 50% of the population, in the state. The women run the house and take care of the family, but they are still dependent on the men of the house. No matter how small or big a decision may be, it is usually made by the men of the house. The 'Rs 1,000 scheme for women' is meant to make women financially independent".
