Delhi BJP president and North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari on Saturday invited residents from his parliamentary constituency to meet him regarding issues being faced by them at a Janata Durbar which he held at his office here.

The citizens who met Mr. Tiwari, complained about issues broadly relating to water, power, admissions to schools, issues related to widows’ and senior citizens’ pension, free treatment to the poor, police and other problems related to administration.

After listening to their complaints, Mr. Tiwari said, “The poor people of the area are suffering due to lack of medical services besides the failure of Delhi government to provide education according to the interest of the students.”

At many places, Mr. Tiwari alleged, citizens complained of facing shortage of water and while some alleged they were not getting pensions meant for widows and senior citizens.

Attack AAP

“If the Ayushman Bharat Yojna is implemented in Delhi, the poor people may get the treatment up to ₹5 lakh. If Naakampanthi [Chief Minister Arvind] Kejriwal could realise the sufferings of the people of Delhi then people in such large numbers may not have come here to complain,” he alleged.

The North East Delhi MP also took the opportunity to attack the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government even as he assured those who met him to taking their complaints up at the “appropriate level”.

“The time has now come to dislodge the Kejriwal government and ensure basic amenities to the people. The problems about which we have been informed will be solved at the appropriate level and more such programmes will be held so that we may be able to learn about the problems of the people and free them from the misgovernance of Kejriwal,” he added.
