Despite the lack of funds, she assured that the BJP would implement the schemes promised to the public, including the Rs 2,500 monthly scheme for women.
"The condition which the (previous) government has left for us... when we sat with officers to review the financial status of the current government, we found that the government exchequer was empty," Gupta said.
She added that several rounds of meetings had been held with officials over the implementation of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojna
During the run up to the assembly elections in Delhi, BJP had assured women that the decision to transfer Rs 2500 in their bank accounts will be taken in the first cabinet meeting if the party comes to power.
"I would ask all the women in Delhi to link their phone number with their bank account so that they could receive the message that money has been credited to their account after the formation of the BJP government here. In the first cabinet of the BJP government, the decision to credit Rs 2,500 in the bank accounts of the women here will be clear.," Prime Minister Narendra Modi had asserted during the election campaign.
