The Aam Aadmi Party challenges the BJP to make its stand clear on the issue of full statehood for Delhi. The BJP, which twice during past one year, promised full statehood for Delhi - first during 2013 December assembly elections and then during 2014 Lok Sabha elections – appears to have gone back on its promise. Contrary to what BJP infact has been promising since last two decades for Delhi, Mrs Kiran Bedi has stated on Friday (Hindustan Times page 6) that “full statehood is not the main issue right now.” The AAP dares the BJP to let the people of Delhi know whether is this statement its official stand ? The BJP is going back on all its promises it has made to the people of Delhi. Prime Minister himself has made light of the BJP’s election promise of reducing electricity tariffs in Delhi by 30%. During the January 10 rally at Ramlila Maidan, the Prime Minister spoke about bulbs which will save Rs 300 every year. He led from the front in evading the BJP’s promise for the people of Delhi. The AAP challenges the BJP to make its position clear on power tariffs in Delhi. The AAP reiterates its commitment to the people of Delhi for getting a full statehood status. It is important since DDA, Police and MCD need to be fully under the Delhi government for the reasons given below : 1. DDA for land and housing issues. How can a Delhi government have control over land usage and allocation for its people if it has no say in it? 2. Police: Fixing accountability for Delhi’s law and order. Other parties just keep stating full statehood as a poll promise. They don’t do it even when they have the same governments at the Centre and in the state. Actually, the central government can unilaterally do it. 3. MCD: Synchronization in utilisation of resources in health and education is needed which is very poor right now. Currently, the MCD is horribly planned and extremely corrupt.youtu.be/5GvKlDkt9Qk
