The BJP on Wednesday accused AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Chief Minister Atishi of committing a "political fraud" with women and elderly in the city by promising them benefits of non-existing schemes ahead of Assembly polls.
The party also challenged the ruling AAP and Atishi to show notifications of the schemes.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva in a press conference said that there is still time for Kejriwal to apologise to Delhi's public for "fake" 'Mahila Samman' and 'Sanjeevani' schemes.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijender Gupta said that many persons who were registered for the scheme lost money because they shared their personal details like bank accounts. He asked all such persons to contact the BJP, assuring the party will help them recover their lost money.
"Arvind Kejriwal and Atishi stand exposed. They are guilty of political fraud in the eyes of the public," Sachdeva said, referring to public notices issued by the Delhi government distancing .

Delhi Congress on Wednesday released a 12-point "white paper" targeting the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP over their alleged unkept promises and mismanagement on various issues like pollution, civic facilities and law and order.
Addressing a press conference, AICC treasurer Ajay Maken lashed out at AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, saying his party came to power riding on the Janlokpal agitation but has failed to set up the anti-corruption ombudsman.
"If there is one word to describe former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal here then it would be Farziwal," he said while releasing the white paper titled "Mauka Mauka, Har Baar Dhoka".
"If anyone is the king of fraud in the entire country then it is Kejriwal and that is why we have come here with a white paper on the Kejriwal government and also on the BJP government at the Centre," Maken said.
There was no immediate reaction from AAP and BJP.
Maken questioned why the Janlokpal had not been formed even in Punjab.
