Politics over the contentious Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana in Delhi grew fierce on Thursday with Congress candidate from New Delhi Assembly constituency Sandeep Dikshit saying Delhi L-G V.K. Saxena must register a cheating case against AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Atishi over the 'scheme'.
Dikshit said while going to Raj Niwas to lodge his complaint that after the Delhi government put up a public notice against the scheme on Wednesday, it was clear that the Atishi government was doing fraud and gathering personal details of women by deceit.
I want cheating cases to be filed against Kejriwal and the CM. The data collected from women should be confiscated and returned to each of them. The personal details of women can even be misused," he said, sharing his plans to give a written complaint to L-G Saxena.
Dikshit told media persons that money for spending in Delhi Assembly elections was being brought by the AAP into Delhi from Punjab, where the AAP is in power, in government vehicles from neighbouring states.
The son of three-time Congress Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit also alleged that the AAP government in Punjab had sent policemen in plain clothes to Delhi to collect "electoral information", an act amounting to spying.
The Congress leader alleged that two Punjab cops were spotted recently near his house, which confirmed the alleged misuse of Punjab government machinery in Delhi.
Under Kejriwal's leadership, the ruling AAP recently rolled out the registration process for the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana financial support to vulnerable groups in Delhi.
It is committed to giving monthly payouts of Rs 2,100 for those aged over 18 years old. The party has even made kiosks all around Delhi for registering the beneficiaries in the scheme.
Earlier, Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Devender Yadav had claimed that no starker indictment of Kejriwal's falsehood could be as egregious than when a public notice was put up by the Delhi government against the women's scheme.
The public notice issued by the Departments of the Delhi government clarified that the Rs 2,100 scheme announced for women under which Kejriwal and other AAP leaders were conducting fake registrations was a political stunt, he said.
