Delhi govt depts distance themselves from AAP's promised scheme

The Atish led Delhi government's Women and Child Development and Health departments issued public notices on Wednesday distancing themselves from the ruling AAP's promised schemes of providing Rs 2,100 to women and free treatment for the elderly, triggering a fresh row ahead of assembly polls. The two departments also cautioned the people against providing personal details to anyone on the pretext of registration for "non-existent" schemes, saying any private individual or political party collecting such physical forms or information is "fraudulent and without any authority".
The development, which came days after AAP leaders launched the exercise of registering people for the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana with much fanfare, left the AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal furious.The Health and Family Welfare Department flagged concerns over the ‘Sanjeevani Yojana,’ asserting that no such scheme has been established. A detailed advisory urged citizens to be cautious and refrain from sharing personal details, signing documents, or trusting any entity promising benefits under these “non-existent” schemes.
Responding to the public notices, Kejriwal alleged that the BJP-led central government was rattled by the proposed schemes. “These people are badly upset by the Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana. They have planned to arrest Atishi ji in the next few days by fabricating a fake case.
