The former chief minister had on Sunday said that women didn't have to go anywhere, "our volunteers will come to your homes and complete the registration process".
In its budget for the 2024-25 fiscal, the Delhi government had announced a scheme to provide Rs 1,000 per month to all adult women. However, Kejriwal recently announced that the amount would be raised to Rs 2,100 if his party returned to power for a third consecutive term after the assembly elections, due in February.
