AAP Alleges Irregularities in Delhi's Vidya Vahini Bicycle Distribution Scheme
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has accused the Delhi government of irregularities in its Vidya Vahini bicycle distribution scheme for Class 9 girls, alleging that the bicycles supplied are of inferior quality and differ from tender specifications. AAP leaders threatened to approach the Anti-Corruption Branch or CBI if no action is taken. Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood defended the procurement process as transparent via the GeM portal and dismissed the allegations as politically motivated noise. Both sides have called for further scrutiny of the scheme.
