BJP started breaking its promises: Atishi criticises Delhi CM
New Delhi: Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP leader Atishi criticised the BJP government and the newly elected CM Rekha Gupta for failing to approve the Rs 2,500 financial assistance for women in Delhi in the first cabinet meeting.
Atishi pointed out that the women of Delhi were expecting this scheme to be passed in the first cabinet meeting. "The first day itself BJP started breaking their promises. They did not pass the scheme; BJP has made up their mind to cheat people of Delhi," she asserted.
She further remarked that it is sad that a woman chief minister broke her promise to women.
Meanwhile, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta on Friday hit back at Atishi, who accused the saffron party of breaking election promises. "The Congress ruled for 15 years and the AAP ruled for 13. Instead of looking at what they did, how can they raise questions on one day of ours," she was quoted as saying by ANI.

We received request; will decide soon whether to support TVK: Thirumavalavan
Chennai (PTI): VCK leader Thol Thirumavalavan on Thursday said that his party received a request from TVK for support and the high-level committee of his party will decide whether to support the Vijay-led party to form the government.
The TVK won 108 seats in the 234-member Assembly and emerged as the single largest party. Vijay will have to resign from one of the two constituencies he has won.
Though the Congress party, which has five MLAs, has extended support to TVK, the actor-politician-led party was still short of as many seats to touch the magic number of 118, the majority mark in the 234-member House.
"We received the request letter from TVK. We are thankful for that. We have not ignored his (Vijay's) request. We have a procedure. Therefore, our party's high-level committee will decide soon. We are going to discuss the merits and demerits of our position," the VCK leader told reporters here.
With regard to the delay in the governor's call to the TVK, which is the single largest party, to form the government, Thirumavalavan requested the governor to invite Vijay to form the government. "It is a constitutional right and people's verdict," he added.
Asserting that the governor cannot say that Vijay should hold 118 MLAs' support now itself to form the government, he said that after taking over power, Vijay has to prove an absolute majority only on the floor of the Assembly.
