Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Kapil Mishra on Wednesday cornered former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the recently launched Mahila Samman Yojna after the Delhi government's Department of Women and Child Development flagged the scheme as fraud.
Taking to X, Mishra said, "What a big fraud Kejriwal is doing with the sisters of Delhi. On one side Kejriwal is getting women to fill out forms, on the other side see the notice of the Delhi government in today's newspapers. The Delhi government itself is advertising that there is no such scheme and these forms are fake."
He shared a picture of the WCD notice which said that no such scheme exists and hence the application for the same bears no meaning. The notice said that if and when any scheme would be notified, WCD would launch an online portal for eligible individuals. WCD said that any political party, or person collecting data on the name of such a scheme is fraudulent and without authority.
WCD also warned people to refrain from sharing personal data unlike bank accounts, Voter IDs, and residential are at collateral risk of putting data in the public domain that could be exploited for cybercrime and other frauds.
