AAP denies Congress allegations of free scheme suspension in Delhi
New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has vehemently refuted claims made by a defeated Congress candidate alleging the suspension of free electricity schemes in Delhi post the Lok Sabha elections. AAP's State Organizing Secretary, Mohan Dasari, clarified that all pro-people schemes, including free electricity and free travel for women, continue to operate in Delhi.
Addressing reporters in Bengaluru, Dasari criticized the Congress for spreading misinformation out of frustration over their electoral defeat.
He said that the success of free projects in Delhi is attributed to resource mobilization and corruption-free governance. Dasari contrasted Delhi's model with the situation in Karnataka, where he said, free projects are implemented at the expense of loans, leading to rampant corruption and tragic consequences like suicides among contractors and officials.
He urged Congress leaders to learn from Delhi's governance model and focus on providing essential services like education, healthcare, and infrastructure, rather than resorting to false accusations. Dasari highlighted achievements such as improved education outcomes, access to quality healthcare, and efficient public services under the AAP government despite challenges from the central government.
