Delhi Government Schemes Face Pushback as AAP Accuses BJP of Interference

Amid election campaigns, Delhi departments deny existence of AAP's welfare schemes, while AAP alleges political sabotage and cash-for-votes scandal involving BJP.

Delhi's Women and Child Development and Health departments issued public notices stating that the AAP's Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana have not been officially notified and warned residents against fraudulent data collection.
AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, claim BJP pressured officials to publish these notices to undermine the schemes and accused BJP of sabotaging their election campaign.
Kejriwal alleged that BJP's Parvesh Verma was distributing cash to voters in his constituency, a claim Verma refuted, asserting the funds were part of an NGO initiative for the needy.
The AAP accused Congress of colluding with BJP to weaken their position in the upcoming Delhi elections, threatening to push for Congress's removal from the INDIA alliance if no action is taken against Congress leader Ajay Maken.
Over 1.15 million people have reportedly registered for AAP's welfare schemes despite the controversy, with the party emphasizing these as election promises contingent on their return to power.
