‘AAP leaders don’t have time for Delhi’

February 14, 2017 01:05 am | Updated 01:05 am IST - New Delhi:

The average Delhiite is ‘disappointed and disillusioned’ at the AAP government’s ‘utter failure” to fulfil its promises, said Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta.

‘Questionable integrity’

Mr. Gupta alleged that the AAP, which is about to complete two years, came to power on the plank of a corruption-free and transparent administration, but now found itself surrounded by senior leaders of “questionable integrity” with several criminal cases and inquiries underway against its functionaries.

The LOP also said that the Chief Minister, the Deputy Chief Minister and Ministers did not have “sufficient time for Delhi” as they were busy “spreading their political wings outside.”

“No new school were opened, no teachers were recruited on a regular basis. Out of the 500 new schools promised in the AAP manifesto, only one school came up in Khichripur. No new college has come up, nor has there been an increase in the number of seats in the existing ones,” Mr. Gupta added.

He complained that no unified transport authority, new buses or bus shelters had come up, despite announcements of inducting 1,380 semi low-floor buses, 500 mini-buses and 1,000 buses under the cluster scheme and 1,000 air-conditioned buses under the Premium Bus Service Scheme.

‘Distant dream’

He added that despite the allocation of ₹60 crore, no Aam Aadmi canteen had been opened. This, even as the AAP’s promise of regularising unauthorised colonies within one year of coming to power remained a “distant dream.”
