He argued that the requirement for MLA or MP endorsements and residency rules are politically motivated, a sentiment echoed by the CPI(M).
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government of imposing “restrictive” eligibility rules under the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana to limit the number of women eligible for the scheme’s monthly assistance of ₹2,500.
