Corruption, Freebies, And Protests: Delhi's Pre-Election Storm

  26/12/2024

The battle for the Delhi Assembly elections is heating up with accusations flying thick and fast over freebies, cash doles, and corruption. Chief Minister Atishi alleged that BJP is distributing ₹1,100 cash to women in slums, claiming the handouts occurred at former BJP MP Parvesh Verma’s residence. Verma countered, calling it aid for the poor and taking a jibe at AAP for “distributing liquor instead.” AAP finds itself under fire for initiating registrations for welfare schemes that its own government has denied exist. BJP Mahila Morcha staged protests near Arvind Kejriwal’s residence, accusing him of misleading voters with false promises. Adding to AAP’s woes, Congress lodged a complaint with Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, alleging crores of rupees are being funneled into the capital for elections. With elections likely in February, the political slugfest is intensifying, making freebies a hot-button issue in the capital’s poll narrative.
