AAP Distributions ‘Jumla’ Cheques as BJP ‘Fails’ to Give Aid to Women
In a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) distributed “Bank of Jumla” cheques on Saturday, mocking the BJP’s alleged failure to fulfill its promise of providing ₹2,500 monthly aid to women in Delhi. The AAP’s move comes after the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promise made on International Women’s Day, March 8.
The AAP’s Delhi chief, Saurabh Bharadwaj, and former Chief Minister Atishi distributed the cheques at a press conference in Delhi. The move is seen as a strategic attack on the BJP’s credibility and a way to highlight the party’s failure to deliver on its promises.
The BJP had promised to implement the Mahila Samriddhi Yojana, a scheme aimed at providing financial assistance to women in Delhi. However, the AAP claims that the BJP has failed to deliver on its promise, and the scheme has not been implemented.
“We are distributing these cheques as a symbol of the BJP’s promise, which has turned out to be a ‘Jumla’ (rhetoric),” said Atishi, former Chief Minister of Delhi. “The BJP promised to provide ₹2,500 monthly aid to women on March 8, but has not delivered. We are holding them accountable for their broken promise.”
Saurabh Bharadwaj, AAP Delhi chief, also lashed out at the BJP, saying, “Maybe now, the BJP would be ashamed and will fulfil their promise. We will continue to hold them accountable for their broken promises and lack of transparency.”
The AAP’s move is seen as a strategic attempt to gain political mileage by highlighting the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promises. The party has often been critical of the BJP’s governance style, accusing them of making promises they cannot keep.
The Mahila Samriddhi Yojana was announced by the BJP as part of its Delhi election manifesto in 2020. The scheme aimed to provide financial assistance to women in Delhi, with a focus on empowering them and improving their socio-economic status. However, the AAP claims that the scheme has not been implemented, and the BJP has failed to deliver on its promise.
The AAP’s distribution of “Bank of Jumla” cheques is seen as a clever move to highlight the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promises. The cheques, which are essentially blank, serve as a symbol of the BJP’s broken promise and lack of transparency.
The move has sparked a political controversy, with the BJP accusing the AAP of spreading lies and trying to create confusion among the people. The BJP has also claimed that the scheme is still in the process of being implemented and that the AAP’s allegations are baseless.
However, the AAP remains defiant, saying that the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promises is a clear indication of its lack of commitment to the welfare of women in Delhi.
In conclusion, the AAP’s distribution of “Bank of Jumla” cheques is a clever move to highlight the BJP’s failure to deliver on its promises. The party’s allegations are seen as a strategic attempt to gain political mileage by highlighting the BJP’s lack of transparency and accountability.
