Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday distributed 200 bicycles to Class 9 girl students at the Assembly premises under the 'Vidya Vahini Yojna'. The scheme aims to provide bicycles to around 1.40 lakh Class 9 girls this year, the Delhi CMO said. The initiative is intended to make commuting easier, support continuity in education, and promote self-reliance among girl students. Opposition AAP MLAs arrived at the Assembly on bicycles to protest alleged irregularities in the scheme. AAP Delhi unit chief Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed the previous government had purchased similar bicycles for Rs 4,200 each from a shop, while the current government bought 1.30 lakh bicycles at Rs 6,957 per unit through a tender.
