After launching the scheme, Kejriwal posted about it on X saying, “Today I visited Marghat Baba’s temple (ISBT) and launched the Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana. Today is the birthday of the Mahant ji here. I also celebrated his birthday with him. BJP tried its best to stop the registration today. But no one can stop a devotee from meeting his God.”
