Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) chief Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), through Congress, had asked Sandeep Dikshit to file complaint with Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena.
“BJP leaders are openly distributing money, but no one will investigate that. They just want to stop all the free schemes given by us. You go ahead, and we will implement the ‘Mahila Samman’ and ‘Sanjeevani’ schemes,” Kejriwal said.
Dikshit had complained to L-G about the AAP’s ‘Mahila Samman’ scheme, claiming that the ruling party was committing fraud with the women of Delhi.
The Delhi government’s Women and Child Development and Health departments issued public notices on Wednesday distancing themselves from the ruling AAP’s promised schemes of providing Rs 2,100 to women and free treatment for the elderly.
The two departments also cautioned the people against providing personal details to anyone on the pretext of registration for “non-existent” schemes, saying any private individual or political party collecting such physical forms or information is “fraudulent and without any authority”.
In a press conference earlier in the day, Chief Minister Atishi and senior AAP leader Sanjay Singh had accused Congress leaders Ajay Maken and Sandeep Dixit of targeting AAP instead of focusing on the BJP.
The Aam Aadmi Party had also said that it will push for the Congress’ expulsion from the INDIA bloc if it fails to take any disciplinary action against its senior leaders within 24 hours, accusing it of colluding with the BJP and trying to harm the prospects of the Kejriwal-led party.
