Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, while replying to the condition that the mother of three children is considered ineligible for the Lakshmi scheme, said that women are not just machines for producing children. He said that frequent childbirth has a negative impact on a woman's health, hence the Delhi government is conscious and alert about women's health.
Explaining the importance of the scheme, the Chief Minister said that our women work day and night in homes, but no economic value is assessed for their work. Along with this, women save every penny to run the household. Whenever there is any crisis in the family, these women come forward with their money and get the family out of trouble. This Delhi Lakshmi Yojana is for those women only.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta also accused the AAP government of a scam worth Rs 30,000 crore. He said that whether it is the dues of power companies or loans related to the education sector, the Delhi government and the people of Delhi are having to bear the brunt of the actions of the AAP government.
