Yogendra Yadav-led Swaraj India unveiled its vision document for the Delhi municipal polls, promising focus on environment protection, cleanliness and zero tolerance to corruption.

“Our vision is to have a clean city that provides civic amenities and a healthy environment for every citizen,” the vision document states.

Swaraj India said it will also focus on improving the quality of life of the people of Delhi through measures such as sustainable solid waste management, recycling and minimising waste for landfills.

“Our plan of action includes ensuring transparency in the entire tendering process by placing in the public domain the tender announcement, bidding process, tender award details, tender completion date and tender payment date,” it said.

The vision document also proposes the creation of a ‘monsoon readiness task force’ with specific purpose of assessing the city’s readiness and highlighting potential failure points every season is part of its plan.

Among other plans, it also envisions less-polluted Delhi, to be achieved through vacuum cleaning of bigger roads and night cleaning of smaller roads and streets.

The party says it will encourage and facilitate takeover of all civic body schools by the State government, as also seek to create a vector-borne disease prevention task force.

The vision also is to “create a road development and maintenance fund to ensure that the appropriate focus is given to the roads.”

Other segments of the vision document include de-congesting of roads, mitigation of parking woes through an end user app, besides fiscal strengthening of MCD and better public sanitation system.
