Political Tensions Flare as Delhi Congress Criticizes Kejriwal's New Scheme

Devendra Yadav of Delhi Congress criticizes former CM Arvind Kejriwal over new 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojna', claiming unmet promises and systemic failures. Yadav accuses AAP of causing division, while Kejriwal announces honorarium for religious clerics, aligning with AAP's plans for upcoming Delhi elections.

In the heightened political landscape of Delhi, Congress president Devendra Yadav sharply criticized former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal following the release of the 'Pujari Granthi Samman Yojna.' Yadav accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader of failing to meet promises to Delhiites, revealing a pattern of unmet expectations.

"Clerical salaries remain unpaid, senior citizens await pensions, and residents are left without essentials like clean water and updated ration cards. Despite new scheme announcements, Kejriwal stands exposed before the people," Yadav alleged. He further accused AAP and BJP of perpetuating societal division.

Kejriwal recently announced the registration for Pujari Granthi Samman Yojana from Sri Marghat Wale Baba Mandir alongside his wife, promising a Rs 18,000 monthly honorarium for temple priests and Gurudwara granthis, contingent on AAP's success in the fast-approaching assembly polls.
