With the people of Delhi eagerly awaiting the date of elections, the Prime Minister has finally found time to address the residents of the national capital, though his government has been controlling the city since seven months. These seven months have seen price-rise, power cuts, communal tension and the national capital has been left neglected by the BJP’s central government. The BJP had made certain big promises to the people of Delhi during the Lok Sabha elections and it was the only party which had brought out a Delhi specific manifesto in this election. The Aam Aadmi Party is reminding the Prime Minister and his party the BJP, their forgotten promises for Delhi 1) Full statehood : BJP has been promising full statehood this since 1993 in all its manifestoes for Delhi. It was in power in Delhi between1993-98 and at the centre between 1998 and May 2004. It did not do anything except mere lip service. · For the Delhi Vidhan Sabha elections last year the BJP again promised full statehood for Delhi, but strangely it has been silent since it came to power at the Centre in May 2014. BJP’s chief ministerial candidate last year and now the union minister, Dr Harshvardhan had tweeted on 1 March 2014 ;“Delhi will be granted full statehood when BJP will come to power at the Centre.” The BJP government, however, made a u-turn which is evident from the reply given by the minister of state for home, Mr Kiren Rijiju in the Rajya Sabha on 16 July 2014, it is reproduced below: There is no proposal before the Union government to accord statehood to Delhi, Rajya Sabha was informed today (16 July, 2014) . In a written reply to a question asked by Rajya Sabha member Vijay Goel, Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said, At present, no proposal is under consideration of the Union government to accord statehood to Delhi. People of Delhi want to know what is the BJP’s stand currently on this issue ? 2) ELECTRICITY RATES : BJP had promised 30% reduction in electricity tariffs, both during the 2013 Vidhan Sabha elections and Lok Sabha elections this year. What happened to BJP’s promise ? · Power minister Piyush Goyal promised inverter free Delhi in two year. What has been done till now ? · When will the BJP get the audit of private power distribution companies done in Delhi ? 3) Regularisation of unauthorised colonies : · Since when can people get their registries done ? Housing Loans ? Basic amenities ? 4) WATER : Since when will Haryana start giving Delhi its due share ? 5) MCD : When will MCD start functioning as an honest organisation ? 6) WOMEN SECURITY : When will Delhi Police be accountable to people of Delhi ? 7) When will the Centre notify the SIT recommended by the AAP government to bring out the truth of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots? The AAP will raise these issues prominently during its campaign and will make the people aware about the BJP’s deception with the people of Delhiyoutu.be/qfXwNxiNB_E
