Is Maken joining BJP, asks AAP
New Delhi, May 8: The Aam Aadmi Party on Tuesday asked Congress Delhi chief Ajay Maken if he was joining the BJP, as his objections to various government projects hinted at it.
"Maken is creating obstacles again and again for the Delhi government's projects. I wonder if he is following the orders of the Bharatiya Janata Party," AAP Delhi Convenor Gopal Rai told the media here.
"Is Maken joining BJP?" he asked.
Dismissing allegations of the Congress that there was a scam in the CCTV installation project, Rai said: "The government is following the procedure and the cost of project has increased as the initial amount was only an estimate."
The Congress' Delhi unit on Monday termed the Delhi government's CCTV project a "big scam".
The Congress was repeatedly trying to stop the public interest projects of the AAP government, he said.
Rai also said that Maken did the same thing with the Mohalla Clinics and it was due to the latter's application that the work got delayed by eight months.
AAP leader Atishi Marlena said the Congress in its 15-year rule had not done anything for the safety of women.
"Maken claims he is concerned about women's security, but what did his party do in its 15-year rule," said Marlena.

MP CM Yadav announces credit cards, financial aid for cow keepers
Bhopal, Nov 2: The Madhya Pradesh government will provide credit cards to those rearing cows and their progeny, similar to those available to farmers, to help manage the upkeep of cattle, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav announced on Saturday.
“Along with the people growing crops, credit cards will also be made available to those rearing cows and their progeny to enable them to manage expenses on their care,” Yadav said during the state-level ‘Govardhan Puja’ ceremony at Ravindra Bhawan here.
He said that people who care for more than 10 cows will be given special financial aid, adding that the state government will invest and make arrangements for rearing 5,000 to 10,000 cows under the limits of municipal Corporations.
He said that people found guilty of slaughtering cows in MP will get seven years of imprisonment.
Earlier, he took part in the Govardhan Puja at his official house.
Later in Gwalior, where he attended two such events, Yadav said the state would protect the cow and its offspring.
Ministers and MLAs across the state also participated in Govardhan Puja.
Before holding this function at the state level, the BJP government in MP had organised ‘Shastra Puja’ (worshipping of weapons) on Dussehra in a similar manner, with the CM, his ministers and MLAs across the state joining in.
