Don't serve dinner if husband takes Modi's name: Kejriwal

Don't serve dinner if husband takes Modi's name: Kejriwal

Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal told women voters to refuse to serve dinner to their husbands if they take PM Narendra Modi's name. 

Kejriwal said, "Many men are doing Modi-Modi. Only you can fix their minds. If your husband says Modi, tell him...you'll not give...dinner." 

He added, "I...appeal to...mothers to make your sons swear on your heads to vote for me."

"Tell them, Kejriwal has made your electricity free, bus tickets free and now he is giving ? 1,000 to women. What has BJP done for them? Then why vote for BJP?" he said.

The Delhi government in its budget announced that it will provide ? 1,000 to all women above 18 years of age under the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana'.

"They (BJP) say Kejriwal is wasting the money by giving ? 1,000 to every women in the city. I ask them when you waived off big loans of a lot of people, weren't they spoilt?" the Chief Minister said.

The Delhi Chief Minister said till now, a "fraud" was being committed by the BJP in the name of empowering women.

"Till now, fraud has been going on in the name of empowerment. Till now, they used to praise a woman from the party and say that women were being empowered. Now I will put a thousand rupees in every woman's purse every month. An empty purse does not do empowerment," he said yesterday.
