New Delhi: The former Chief Minister of Delhi and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of attempting to derail key welfare schemes introduced by the Delhi government.
In a press conference on Saturday, Arvind Kejiriwal questioned the rationale behind the investigations, asserting that these initiatives were part of AAP’s poll promises.
“What is there to investigate? These are our commitments to the people, which BJP now wants to halt under the guise of inquiries.
He told reporters that BJP, in collaboration with Congress, is working to undermine AAP’s governance. When BJP lacked the courage, they used Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit to lodge complaints with the Lieutenant Governor.
He assured the people of Delhi that he would ensure the continuation of these schemes, urging residents to register for the benefits.
The Delhi government had recently launched two major welfare initiatives – Rs 2,100 per month for women under the Mahila Samman Yojana and free healthcare for the elderly under the Sanjeevani Yojana.
Kejriwal said there is an overwhelming response for these schemes, with lakhs of people registering in a short span of time, which he said had left the BJP “frustrated.”
According to Kejriwal, the BJP’s primary agenda in Delhi is to block the implementation of these welfare measures. “If you vote for BJP, they will stop benefits like free bus travel for women, free electricity, and water,” he warned.
He cautioned, If BJP comes to power, these essential services will be withdrawn, forcing many poor families to leave the city.
