BJP questioned Aam Aadmi Party National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal for announcing an 18,000 rupee monthly honorarium for priests and granthis. Addressing the media, BJP leader Prem Shukla took a dig at AAP for not providing such benefits to priests earlier. Mr. Shukla claimed that AAP has been providing similar benefits to Maulanas for the last 10 years. He accused Arvind Kejriwal of making these promises out of fear of losing the upcoming elections.
Earlier today, AAP announced the Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana, promising an 18,000 rupee monthly honorarium for temple and Gurudwara priests (Granthi) in Delhi if voted back to power.
