Reality cheque: Short of cash, Punjab may tweak poll pledge to women

IndiaTimes Wednesday, 12 February 2025 ()
The AAP's pre-poll promise of a Rs 1,100 monthly allowance for women over 18 in Punjab faces financial hurdles, necessitating reconsideration by the Bhagwant Mann government. Alternatives include limiting the scheme to single women and breadwinners or excluding income-tax-paying women. With Punjab's debt expected to reach Rs 3.7 lakh crore by 2024-25, financial feasibility remains a concern.
