New Delhi, Dec 28: A controversy surrounding the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) ‘Mahila Samman Yojna’ in Delhi shows no signs of subsiding. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit has filed a complaint with Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor (LG) VK Saxena, urging an investigation alleging potential misuse.
In response, the LG has instructed the Chief Secretary to look into the matter. The Lieutenant Governor has asked for an investigation into the registration process for the ‘Mahila Samman Yojna’ in Delhi, specifically questioning the rules under which it is being carried out and asking a report soon.
The Lieutenant Governor has launched an inquiry into allegations that “non-government” individuals are gathering personal information from Delhi residents under the guise of registration for the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) proposed welfare initiative, the ‘Mahila Samman Yojana’.
