Not at all a good decision. If it was given for poor, there would be some sort of credibility. But this is just for women irrespective of their income.

Arunima, like you I too think that its just a political gimmicks to lure voters. It doesn't serve any purpose at all. If at all he wanted to do something for women, instead of giving freebies, he should take measures to provide safety by curbing molestation, eve teasing, rapes problems etc. Any kinds of freebies only increases problems.

Arvind Kejriwal thinks that citizens of Delhi are beggars whom he can hook in his freebies net. Ladies will travel for free no doubt but they are clever than Arvind thinks he is. 

He forgot that voters rejected offer of RG of 72000 per year, his offer is too much small one. Now India voters are matured and will not come in the hoof.

Odd even was atleast something which had some meaning and essence, however this is without any substance. The Policy is outright flawed.

Kejriwal just goes on and on like an unguided missile. His decision for odd and even can have some logic. But this one is totally illogical. And from where is he going to compensate for metro loss?

He has sensed that he has failed miserably in Lok Sabha and he has come on 3rd position even trailing behind Congress. He has all fear of loosing the upcoming assembly election which is still not sure as he has done few good things which might get him some votes. He is trying all cards to lure more and more voters.

This providing free rides does not encourage or promote women empowerment in any way. Even the women are very rich will make use of such freebies and how will that help women who are really poor and helpless? how will government earn much needed revenues. He should instead invest in reaching out to men and trying to change their outlook towards women and so help curb eveteasing and sexual violent crimes against women. I feel that Kejriwal really needs to get his head examined.

It is sadly the sane situation in other states as well. Most elected leaders are busy trying to hold on to their chairs and any other commitment is never a concern until it is election  time.

There are so many things on his manifesto list from last election that has not been fulfilled.  And here he comes with a new promise.  This is just to distract voters and also to stay in limeligt.  He has always been an attention seeker.  But voters have become smart now.  Moreover,  the timing is quite indicative of his personal motivation behind it.
