Aam Aadmi Party boss Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday announced a new scheme for women - the deposit of Rs 1,000 in bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries. This will be increased to Rs 2,100 after the Delhi Assembly election in February - assuming the AAP retains power in the national capital - he said.


Mr Kejriwal also slammed the BJP, saying he wanted to implement this scheme in March - when he was still the Chief Minister - but "they conspired and sent me to jail (in the alleged Delhi liquor policy case)". "After coming out of jail, I worked with Atishi ji so this scheme could start."
