The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has leveled serious accusations against the Delhi BJP government, alleging the suspension of pensions for widows and divorced women.
According to Saurabh Bharadwaj, AAP's Delhi unit chief, payments have been stalled for the last two months, potentially affecting thousands of women who rely on these benefits.
This confrontation has further strained relations between the two parties, which have been fraught ever since the BJP's victory in Delhi earlier this year.
