The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) in its meeting on Thursday unanimously passed a condemnation resolution against former Delhi Chief Minister and NDMC member Arvind Kejriwal regarding the fraudulent "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana" and "Sanjeevani Yojana" launched by the Delhi government.
Kejriwal was absent for the fourth straight meeting of the newly-constituted council, the council members took on record.
Speaking to the media at the headquarters of NDMC at the Palika Centre, Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal said that the council on 25 May, 2022, gave an in-principle nod to roll out the Centre government's flagship "Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana" for the residents of New Delhi.
In that meeting, the then Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal himself was present but now he has been blocking the implementation of this scheme for political gains.
"He is also cheating the people of Delhi with fake schemes like "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana" and "Sanjeevani Yojana". These schemes are misleading citizens by giving false promises of Rs 2,100 per month to women and other benefits to citizens above 60 years of age," said Chahal.
Although Delhi Women and Child Development Department and the Health and Family Welfare Department have clarified through media and social media that no such government official scheme exists, they made a point that no registrations and applications will be accepted, he added.
It's a complete fraud by Arvind Kejriwal," said Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha General Secretary Sarita Tomar on this occasion, "The 'Chief Minister Women's Honour Scheme' is just a way to mislead the women of Delhi."
BJP leader Anil Valmiki said that "I am a resident of New Delhi myself, but to date, I have never seen Arvind Kejriwal stand for the people of New Delhi nor does he have any office in New Delhi, which clearly indicates that he doesn't care about the people of this area. He's only concerned about fulfilling his political ambitions."
The senior BJP leader also appealed to all the citizens of New Delhi to remain vigilant and to stay away from such schemes like "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana" and "Sanjeevani Yojana". People should not reveal personal details, like bank accounts, voter identity card numbers, mobile numbers, and all such sensitive details.
"Such information may leak into the public domain and could lead to cybercrimes or bank frauds. In such cases, citizens will be fully responsible for any consequences and the risks involved," he warned.
