Tamil Nadu Minister confronted over promise of Rs 1,000 to every woman
08-Apr-2024A woman from the crowd complained to the minister that he had promised that every woman would receive the money, but they did not receive it.
A group of women on Tuesday gheraoed Tamil Nadu Minister Anitha Radhakrishnan on Tuesday, questioning him about his unfulfilled promise of Rs 1,000 each to all women.
While the minister was returning from a poll campaign in Tirunelveli, a group of women blocked his convoy and confronted him.
A woman from the crowd complained to the minister that he had promised that every woman would receive the money, but they did not receive it.
“When you sought votes, you said that all women would get Rs 1,000. But only half of them are receiving it while others are not,” the woman said, while others also voiced their concerns.
Minister Radhakrishnan, who briefly got out of the vehicle, told the women that everyone would receive the money after the election.
“After the election, everyone will get it. If you don’t trust me, what can I do?” the minister said, while the disgruntled crowd kept complaining about the water crisis as well.
