Atishi, the Delhi Chief Minister, said that on Wednesday strict administrative actions will be taken against the two officers who released public notices disowning the registration process initiated by her and the former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal in two schemes announced by Aam Aadmi Party. The officers are the joint director of Department of Woman and Child Development and special secretary of Health and Family Welfare Department.
In a public notice published on Wednesday, the officers called both the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana (which aims to give Rs 2100 to women who do not pay taxes) and the Sanjeevani Yojana (which provides free treatment in government hospitals as well as in private ones to people over 60 years old), "fraudulent".
Atishi, speaking at a press event held by the AAP, said that "the notices published today in newspapers were completely false." BJP put pressure on the officers, and they issued a false notice to the public because they were shocked by their response. These officers will face strict administrative action."
Atishi pointed to a copy the Cabinet's approval of Mahila Saman Yojana and said: "This is the cabinet notification after it approved the Rs 1,000 allowance for women under Mahila Sanman Yojana...The notification clearly states Rs 1,000. The Delhi Police will investigate these officers and take strict action against them for publishing such a false public notice.
AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal was also present at the press conference and said that the BJP has a fear of the public due to their positive response to AAP schemes and door-to-door campaigning. He said that the BJP does not have a chief-ministerial candidate or an agenda to share with the public in advance of the upcoming election.
"We know the BJP's plot to obstruct work in Delhi by using the Lieutenant Governor, bureaucrats and other schemes. We did not let them impede our work. They devised a scheme and arrested us all. The BJP can't show off their time in Delhi. Seven MPs have served the BJP in the last ten years but they have not shown any achievements. He said they lack a candidate for chief minister and a clearly defined agenda.
"The AAP runs a positive campaign." We are sharing our accomplishments from the past ten years, and we ask for votes on the basis of our work. Our opponents, on the other hand, resort to insults. We announced recently a new program that provides an allowance of Rs 2100. This follows the cabinet's approval of a Rs 1000 allowance. If we come back to power, I said we would increase the amount to Rs. 2,100. We also introduced the Sanjeevani Yojana and people are eagerly filling out forms. The people seem to be happy about it and want us back to power. "This is why the BJP feels threatened," he said.
He claimed that investigation agencies, such as the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI) or the Enforcement Directorate, would conduct raids on all senior AAP officials, including CM Atishi to distract them away from the election campaign.
"We have learned from our reliable sources that ED, CBI and other agencies met and plan to falsely accuse Atishi of a crime involving the Transport Department. He said that the BJP was conspiring to undermine the scheme of free commuting for women.
Kejriwal alleged also that former BJP Mp Parvesh Singh was distributing money to people before the elections.
Atishi said that the BJP could create any false case, but that the people of Delhi were observing and would respond during the upcoming election.
Public notices about Delhi Govt Schemes
Two departments of the Delhi Government published public notices both in Hindi and English newspapers. The situation highlighted once again the fragile relationship between Delhi's bureaucracy, and its elected government. The services department is now under the Lieutenant Governor's control after an amendment was made to the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi Act.
A joint director of the Department of Women and Child Development published a public notice in newspapers about the Rs 2,100 promised under Mahila Samman Yojana. The notice stated, ""..., a political party claims to be able to pay Rs 2,100 a month to eligible individuals under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojna... No such scheme has yet been notified in Delhi... When such a scheme becomes official, the Department of Women and Child Development launches a
The statement added: "The public is hereby warned and asked not to believe such promises about a nonexistent scheme as they are misleading and lacking any authority ...,".
The second notice by the Special Secretary of the Health and Family Welfare Department also called the promises false, and added that people had started to visit government hospitals and offices in order to ask about the scheme.
