New Delhi: The Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Wednesday accused the Bharatiya Janata party of distributing money to voters in the New Delhi assembly constituency, where former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is going to contest upcoming assembly polls in the national capital.
In a press conference on Wednesday Atishi claimed that BJP leader and former two-time MP from West Delhi, Parvesh Verma, was “caught distributing money” at his official residence.
She also said that the BJP is distributing money to people by checking their voter cards in the New Delhi assembly constituency, from where Arvind Kejriwal contests elections.
Today, Parvesh Verma was caught red-handed giving out money at his official residence, which he received as an MP.
“Women from various slums in the New Delhi assembly constituency were called there and given Rs 1,100 in an envelope,” she said.
She also alleged that crores of rupees are in Parvesh Verma’s house and demanded the Election Commission to instruct the ED and Delhi Police to raid Verma’s official residence and arrest him.
This comes after several newspapers today published a public notice issued by a joint director in the Department of Women and Child Development, which termed the Mahila Samman Yojana as “non-existent.” The department stated that no such scheme has been officially notified.
“It is clarified that no such scheme has been notified by the Delhi Government,” the Women and Child Development Department stated in the notice.
