WCD Department Says No Notification Issued By Delhi Govt About Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana

Delhi Women and Child Development Department has said that there is no notification from the Delhi government about the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana'.

The Women and Child Development Department, Delhi, has issued a public notice warning voters of the national capital about the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana'. The notice came two days after the AAP launched a "registration drive" for the scheme. The department said that it had come to know through media reports and social media posts that "a political party is claiming to give Rs 2,100 per month to the women of Delhi under the 'Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana".

"It is clarified that no such scheme has been notified by the Delhi Government. It is emphasized that since no such Scheme is in existence, the question of acceptance of the form/application for registration under this non-existent Scheme does not arise," ," the WCD Department notice published in national newspapers on Wednesday read.

The notice added: "Any private person/political party who is collecting forms/applications or collecting information from applicants in the name of this scheme is committing fraud and has no authority."

Kejriwal And AAP On Mahila Samman Yojana

Former Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and his successor Atishi on December 23 embarked on a "registration drive" for the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana on December 23. The Aam Aadmi Party had earlier promised to increase the allowance to eligible women under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana from Rs 1,000 to Rs 2,100 after the elections if it came to power.

On Wednesday morning, Kejriwal said: "These people [BJP] are badly upset by the Mahila Samman Yojana and Sanjeevani Yojana. They have planned to arrest Atishi ji in the next few days by lodging a false case. Before that, raids will be conducted on senior AAP leaders."

BJP Slams Kejriwal On Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana

As soon as the WCD Department released the notice, BJP slammed Arvind Kejriwal and the AAP. BJP MP Yogender Chandolia said, "There is no such scheme. When the Women & Child Development Department is saying that it is not their scheme, it is fake... There should be a criminal case against [AAP] MLAs who are getting forms filled for the schemes..."

BJP IT cell head Amit Malviya said: "The Departments of Women & Child Development and Health & Family Welfare have issued public notices clarifying that the Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana, which promises Rs 2,100 to women, and the Sanjeevani Scheme, offering free medical facilities to senior citizens, are not part of Delhi Government's programmes. These schemes are fake announcements, made by Arvind Kejriwal. Additionally, he has not allowed the implementation of Ayushman Bharat in Delhi, further disadvantaging senior citizens."
