Atishi, a prominent AAP MLA and former Chief Minister of Delhi, recently stirred the political pot by seeking an immediate meeting with Delhi’s new Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta. This request centers around a heated issue concerning the unfulfilled Rs 2,500 monthly financial assistance that was promised to Delhi's women by none other than Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his election campaign.

The promise, made during a rally in January 2025, was met with enthusiasm by many women in Delhi who felt it was a significant step towards their economic empowerment. Modi had emphatically stated that this financial aid would be one of the first actions taken by a BJP-led government, terming it 'Modi's guarantee.' Such strong terms raised expectations among citizens.

However, despite assuming office, the BJP’s new administration, led by CM Gupta, did not address this issue in their first cabinet meeting on February 20, leaving many disappointed. According to Atishi, this apparent oversight failed to honor a critical commitment, leading to feelings of betrayal among the women of Delhi who had pinned their hopes on this promise.

Atishi's letter to CM Gupta, requesting a meeting on February 23, expresses a sense of urgency. She highlighted that the Aam Aadmi Party's legislative members wanted to have a face-to-face discussion to lay their concerns on the table and seek tangible measures. "It's not just about promises but about regaining the trust of lakhs of women who feel let down," Atishi exclaimed in her plea.

The pending issue showcases a rift and an intensifying debate over the BJP’s reliability in fulfilling election promises. This scenario reflects broader political dynamics and the challenging balance of managing expectations with governance realities. For many women in Delhi, this financial assistance could drastically improve their quality of life, making it essential for politicians to consider their plight earnestly.

Now, all eyes are on the scheduled meeting, hoping it brings clarity and action to the situation, ensuring the original assurances don't fade into oblivion. The ball is in Delhi CM's court to respond and potentially resolve what has become a crucial social and political concern.
