BJP Alleges Scam in Women's Pension Scheme
The BJP has demanded an investigation into an alleged scam in a women's pension scheme under the previous AAP government in Delhi. According to Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva, over 83,000 registered women beneficiaries of the scheme were found to be 'fake' or 'suspicious,' involving ₹200 crore per year.
AAP Responds
In response, the AAP accused the BJP of attempting to shut down welfare schemes for the public, citing the closure of Mohalla clinics and alleged discontinuation of free treatment for accident victims. The political tussle continues as both parties trade accusations of corruption.
