AAP Protests Alleged Bicycle Procurement Scam; BJP Highlights AAP's Unfulfilled Promises
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) protested near the Delhi Secretariat alleging a ₹40 crore bicycle procurement scam by the BJP-led Delhi government, accusing it of buying bicycles at inflated prices and demanding Education Minister Ashish Sood's resignation. The BJP dismissed the protest as a diversion from AAP's unfulfilled promises during its 11-year tenure, highlighting alleged irregularities in AAP's past schemes. Both parties exchanged accusations amid ongoing scrutiny of governance and scheme implementations in Delhi.
