Arvind Kejriwal Accuses BJP Of Blocking Welfare Schemes For Women & Elderly

Arvind Kejriwal, National Convener of AAP, on Saturday accused the BJP of attempting to block key welfare schemes aimed at supporting women and the elderly.

Addressing Welfare Schemesa press conference, Kejriwal reiterated his promises of providing Rs 2,100 per month to women and free medical treatment for the elderly, which he claimed received overwhelming public support.

Kejriwal stated, “I had said that after winning the election, we will give 2100 rupees to women and provide free treatment for the elderly. These two schemes were so beneficial to the public that millions of people registered for them. This made the BJP panic and several BJP leaders told me that not only would they not win. The then planned to stop these two schemes.”

Kejriwal alleged that the BJP went to great lengths to block the schemes.

“First, they sent their goons, then they sent the police, and uprooted the registration camps. And now they have ordered a fake investigation. What will they investigate? This was an election promise, we said we would implement it if we win,” he asserted.

AAP National Convener also accused the BJP of targeting multiple welfare programs.

“Today, they have made it clear that if you vote for them, they won’t allow the implementation of the Mahila Samman Yojna, they won’t allow the implementation of the Sanjeevni Yojna for the elderly. They will stop free travel for women, cut your free electricity, free water, Mohalla Clinics, free treatment, and free education. The BJP is fighting the election to shut down everything,” Kejriwal added.

On the ongoing probe into the Mahila Samman Yojna, Kejriwal criticized the BJP for what he termed double standards.

“Today they have started an investigation on the Mahila Samman Yojna while their leaders are openly distributing money, buying votes, but no investigation is happening on that,” Kejriwal noted.

Kejriwal also accused the BJP of aligning with Congress to obstruct the AAP.

He remarked, “Now, BJP leaders are begging Congress to save them. BJP didn’t have the courage to complain themselves, they had Sandeep Dixit file the complaint. Together, they want to stop AAP. I am ready to go to jail again for you.”

Responding to questions about the LG’s order for an investigation, AAP National Convener dismissed its legitimacy.

“Under which section will they take action? Do they think this country belongs to them? Why aren’t they stopping those who are distributing money, openly saying, ‘Give us votes in exchange for money’?” Kejriwal questioned.
