Hindustan Times|December 24, 2024
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Monday launched the registration drive for the "Mukhyamantri Mahila Samman Yojana", under which women will receive monthly aid of ₹2,100, and "Sanjeevani Yojana", which will provide free health care to senior citizens, with AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal and chief minister Atishi undertaking registrations at East Kidwai Nagar around noon.

AAP begins registrations for schemes on women's allowance, elderly welfare

NEW DELHI:

As part of the drive, the names of potential beneficiaries and their phone numbers were cross-checked with the voters list, against the backdrop of the AAP alleging unwarranted deletion of voters from lists in the run-up to the Assembly elections in early 2025.

The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Delhi unit claimed that the registration was an eyewash and that forms for the honorarium being filled by AAP leaders were not official ones. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva challenged Atishi to issue a statement from the CM's office to clarify whether the forms filled were official.

The AAP said it matched voter IDs with the list on the Election Commission of India's website, and those listed were immediately registered and issued yellow cards to avail of monthly aid. For others, Kejriwal assured to get them registered.
