Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Sunday claimed that the media statements made by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Manish Sisodia and Saurabh Bhardwaj on the women’s welfare scheme in Punjab “Maanva Dhiyan Di Satkar Yojana” are completely contradictory.
Sachdeva said that the AAP leaders, who themselves presented the budget for the “Maanva–Dhiyan Satkar Yojana” for the people of Punjab after four years, have no right to comment on any of the BJP’s guarantee schemes here in the national capital.
HE said that the AAP leaders themselves have stated in their remarks that before the 2022 elections, Arvind Kejriwal had promised to implement the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana in Punjab immediately after winning the elections. However, even though the government has entered its fifth year, only now has a budget for the scheme been announced, and in reality, women might receive the first instalment of Rs 1,000 perhaps around Diwali.
The Delhi BJP chief further said that any political party which makes commitments to voters before elections gets five years after winning to fulfil those promises.
He hit out at the previous Arvind Kejriwal-led government in Delhi, stating that it had left a huge debt of Rs 1.20 lakh crore on the national capital. The present BJP government is currently working to correct the deteriorated financial condition and will soon ensure that the women of Delhi receive the benefits of the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana.
