‘Delhiites disappointed with Kejriwal govt’

August 16, 2017 01:29 am | Updated 01:29 am IST - New Delhi

Union Minister of Steel Chaudhary Birender Singh on Tuesday claimed that Delhiites were “disappointed” with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government.

“The [Arvind] Kejriwal government has not only shamed the people of Delhi with its misconduct, but people across India, as was evident from his party losing the polls in Goa, Delhi and Punjab,” Mr. Singh said, while campaigning for BJP candidate Ved Prakash in the August 23 by-poll in the Bawana Assembly constituency in north Delhi.

He claimed that the scheduled caste communities were “disenchanted” with the Delhi government for “not doing anything” for them.

‘Will cost him’

“The long delay in approving the much-needed Land Pooling Policy, misuse of SC funds, corruption in payment of crop damage compensation and absence of development are going to cost the Kejriwal government and his party heavily in the Bawana by-poll,” he said.
