CM Atishi Accuses BJP Of Distributing Cash To Voters; Alleges Electoral Fraud

On Wednesday, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of distributing cash to voters in the New Delhi assembly constituency, where Arvind Kejriwal contests elections.

The allegations surfaced following public notices issued by Delhi government departments disavowing registration processes for two AAP-promoted schemes.

At a press conference, CM Atishi alleged, “The BJP is distributing money to people by checking their voter cards in the New Delhi assembly constituency, from where Arvind Kejriwal contests elections. Today, Parvesh Verma was caught red-handed giving out money at his official residence, which he received as an MP. Women from various slums in the New Delhi assembly constituency called there and given Rs 1,100 in an envelope.”

CM Atishi Demands Action Against Verma Over Alleged Cash Stash

Delhi Chief Minister asserted that Verma has crores of rupees stashed at his residence and demanded immediate action.

“I want to inform the ED and CBI that cash worth crores of rupees is still at Parvesh Verma’s house. I urge the Election Commission to have the ED and Delhi Police raid his official residence and arrest him immediately. The BJP is trying to win a lost election. We will officially lodge a complaint with the police and the Election Commission. The pamphlet used for distributing money also features pictures of PM Modi and JP Nadda,” CM Atishi asserted.

Several newspapers today highlighted a public notice from the Department of Women and Child Development, where a joint director clarified that the Mahila Samman Yojana is ‘non-existent’ and has not been officially notified.

The notice further warned that any private individual or political party gathering citizen information through forms or registrations under the scheme’s name is engaging in fraudulent activity.

In its notice, the Women and Child Development Department stated, “It is clarified that no such scheme has been notified by the Delhi Government.”

A public notice issued by the special secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department clarified that no scheme exists to offer free treatment for Delhi residents over 60 at private or government hospitals.

The department clarified that it does not recognize the so-called ‘Sanjeevani scheme’ and has not authorized anyone to collect personal data from elderly citizens or issue related cards.

The notice labeled such claims as fraudulent, highlighting that citizens have started approaching government hospitals and offices with inquiries about the nonexistent program.
