Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) announced a plan to provide Hindu temple priests and Sikh gurdwara granthis with a monthly honorarium of Rs 18,000 if AAP wins the 2025 Delhi Assembly elections. The initiative, called 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana', aims to financially support these religious figures. Registration for the scheme is set to begin on December 31, 2024. The BJP criticized the move, questioning its timing and suggesting it is a vote-seeking tactic.
