On December 22, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Bansuri Swaraj criticized Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Arvind Kejriwal. She urged him to stop misleading voters in Delhi with promises of new welfare schemes ahead of the assembly elections. Swaraj pointed out that similar promises made by the AAP-led Punjab government, like direct cash transfers to women, have not been fulfilled.
Swaraj stated, "I would like to tell Arvind Kejriwal to stop deceiving the people of Delhi with electoral gimmicks. In Punjab, he made similar announcements, claiming money would be transferred to women's accounts. To this day, the women of Punjab are still waiting for even a single rupee. Not a penny has reached their accounts."
Earlier, Kejriwal announced that registration for the Mukhya Mantri Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana would start on December 23. The Mahila Samman Yojana promises Rs 2,100 per month to women in Delhi, while the Sanjeevani Yojana will cover medical expenses for senior citizens over 60 at hospitals.
Swaraj also criticized the Sanjeevani Yojana, questioning why Kejriwal has not implemented the Union Government's Ayushman Bharat scheme. She said, "With the Sanjeevani Yojana, I want to ask him: when you have been in power for nearly a decade, why did you neglect the elderly? Were the elderly of Delhi not deserving of care before? Even the Delhi High Court has asked why your government is not allowing the Ayushman Bharat scheme to be implemented here. His politics of hatred is preventing the people of Delhi from benefiting from a welfare scheme like Ayushman Bharat."
