Accusing the AAP Government for "ruining" the transport system in the national Capital, Delhi Congress on Wednesday said that the destruction of public transport has resulted in the number of private vehicles increasing on Delhi roads, contributing massively to air pollution and traffic jams.

Congress president of Delhi unit Subhash Chopra said that 46 per cent of air pollution was on account of vehicles. "The Kejriwal Government betrayed the people of Delhi by destroying the public transport system while exposing the "Kachha Chitta" of the AAP Government.

Chopra said that Delhi needs a fleet of 11,000 public transport buses, but in the last five years, the fleet has shrunk from 6200 to 3800 buses.  "The AAP Government claims to have added 100 buses last November, but did not add a single bus before that," he said.

"DTC buses used to cover 9.68 lakh km per day when Congress was in power which has now come down to 6.32 lakh km per day under the AAP Government," he said, adding that 45 lakh people used to travel by DTC buses when Congress was in power, which has now come down to 26 lakh commuters per day now. 

Chopra furthe said that the Congress Government constructed 15 new bus depots and 3 inter-state bus terminals, but the AAP Government could not construct a single bus depot in last five years.

Party Chief Spokesperson Mukesh Sharma said that during the Congress regime, 5271km of new roads were constructed, but the AAP Government has neither increased the road network nor could ensure proper maintenance of the existing roads"The Congress Government constructed 67 new flyovers, but AAP Government could construct none. Further, 67 new foot-bridges, 29 new subways and 4 new elevated roads were constructed during Congress rule but the number is zero during AAP regime," he added.

Sharma announced that the Congress manifesto will include issues concerning the people like DTC, unemployment, price rise, and many other issues and their solutions.
