Terming Aam Aadmi Party (AAP)’s “Kejriwal Ka Guarantee Card” is another “jumla” to divert peoples’ attention from its “failure” in last five years, the Congress on Sunday said that Kejriwal has now come up with ten ‘promises’ fearing a certain defeat in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections.
Delhi Congress president Subhash Chopra said that Kejriwal wasted his time scuffling with the officials, the Central Government, the Lieutenant Governor and the Municipal Corporations of Delhi without fulfilling the promises made to the people.
Criticising the ten promises of the guarantee card launched by Kejriwal, he said Kejriwal, who is now talking to provide world class education in Delhi, could not create a new university or establish the 20 colleges he had promised.
Accusing the AAP Government of supplying “dirty” water, Chopra said that the Kejriwal Government is now talking about the issue of water after noticing the overwhelming public support in favour of Congress’ ‘cashback’ incentive scheme to encourage people to save water.
“The AAP Government has not set up any new water treatment plant or UGR (Under Ground Reservoir) to address the shortage of potable water supply in unauthorized colonies. The Government also failed to set up any new hospital or ensured proper functioning of the existing Government hospitals,” he said.
Chopra said that the Kejriwal Government had terribly neglected public transport in the last five years and that was one of the primary reasons for pollution levels went beyond dangerous marks several times in the past few years. “Over 3200 buses of ‘Delhi Transport Corporation’ have vanished from Delhi roads due to which the common people had to bear inconvenience.
The Congress president also blamed the AAP Government for not only delaying the third phase of the metro works by three years and the fourth phase by nearly five years, but also hiking the metro fares twice in one year to make metro travel beyond the reach of the common people.
Party Chief Spokesperson Mukesh Sharma criticized the Kejriwal Government for the promise of constructing flats for those living in JJ clusters, saying that the irony is that in-situ flats constructed for resettling JJ Cluster residents at Kalkaji and Narela have not yet been allotted to them.
