00:09Day one of the Delhi Assembly and the Aam Aadmi Party as the opposition party now has

00:15upped the ante against the BJP over the women cash scheme.

00:19Remember, the BJP has promised 2,500 rupees for women.

00:24And Aatish Sinha, as the LOP, attempted to even barge into the CM chamber to demand answers

00:31from Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on when 2,500 rupees will be given as financial aid to women.

00:37So the Aam Aadmi Party, you see they're holding up posters saying, Kab Donge, Kab Aayenge

00:422,500 rupees.

00:44AAP is continuing to fight it out in the National Capital.

00:48Day one of the Assembly and you're already seeing a showdown over the guarantees that

00:51were made by, in fact, the BJP.

00:54The Delhi Chief Minister, on her part, maintains that 2,500 rupees for women will be given

01:00soon and has alleged that AAP has left behind empty coffers but that they will fulfil their promises.

03:57Listen in to exactly what the leader of opposition, Atushi, had to say on remarks made by, on

04:04in fact the promises made by the BJP.

04:21Let's bring in Shreya Chatterjee for more details on this dramatic showdown that we're

04:43witnessing, Shreya, over the instalment, the financial dole that was promised, the financial

04:49aid that was promised by the BJP for women, 2,500 rupees.

04:53The AAP questioning why it's not been announced yet.

04:56What's the BJP saying?

04:57Has there been a delay, as the AAP claims?

05:00Well, you know, Akshata, what essentially we're learning from the Bharatiya Janata Party

05:04that they are in the process of actually acquiring the entire process so that the scheme can

05:09be implemented.

05:10They have denied the allegation from the part that's been made by Aatish.

05:14that one by one all the promises that have been made in the polls will be enrolled in

05:19a time-bound manner.

05:20That was something that Rekha Gupta even from the day she's taken charge has been suggesting.

05:26But Aatish and Aam Aadmi Party leaders today in the Delhi assembly protested against the

05:31fact suggesting that the claims of the coffers being emptied is false and it's something

05:35that the BJP is purposely delaying.

05:37We spoke to sources within the Delhi government.

05:40What we're understanding, Akshata, is also about getting the details intact because these

05:44will be essentially direct transfer amount that will be going out to the people.

05:49So there is a process of setting up that entire chain of command.

05:52And that's exactly what the Delhi government is right now working on is what we are learning

05:57from our sources.

05:59All right.

06:00Shreya, thanks very much for joining us with those details.
