The Story in Brief
Women from across Delhi visited the Assembly on Friday to tie rakhis to Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, thanking her for the Delhi Lakshmi Yojana. Times of India reports that the scheme, which offers financial support to eligible women, has given the festival new meaning by boosting confidence and financial security.
CM Gupta called the rakhi a symbol of trust and responsibility, assuring the women her government will prioritise safety, education, healthcare, and self-employment. She promised to reach every eligible beneficiary and wished them a bright future.

The photo-op gives the Delhi government a warm buzz, but the real test of the Lakshmi Yojana is whether cash reaches the poorest women without delays or corruption. Past Delhi schemes have stumbled on last-mile delivery. The question is not who ties the rakhi, but how many women actually get the money.
