Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha activists staged a demonstration close to the residence of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accusing the AAP Government of using the issue of women safety to score political points. “For the ruling Aam Aadmi Party Government in Delhi, women welfare is just an issue to be used for scoring political points. In the last 10 months in power, Kejriwal Government has not initiated a single step for women welfare,” Delhi BJP Mahila Morcha president Kamaljeet Sehrawat said.
“Delhi Chief Minister and his MlAs have till date made no noticeable financial contribution for installation of CCTVs, proving that all their promises towards ensuring women safety is just a lip service. On the other hand, BJP MP Maheish Girri provided Rs1.57 crore for the purpose,” she added.
Condemning women MlAs of AAP for “conniving” with their leaders, Morcha general secretary Rekha Gupta alleged that they were using the issues of women safety and drugs to “deflect” attention from important issues related to public welfare to be discussed in the Assembly. “It is good to see the women MlAs of AAP showing concern for women dignity for last two days but where did their tears and concern go when their colleague MlA Somnath Bharti’s wife was accusing him for domestic violenceIJ Or when he was maligning visiting foreign women as prostitutesIJ” she asked.
Raising slogans against the AAP Government, the Mahila Morcha activists tried to march towards Kejriwal’s residence but were stopped by police.
