Will make Delhi look like London in a year if AAP wins civic polls: Kejriwal


New Delhi, Mar 6 (Zee News): AAP will make Delhi look like London if voted to power in the upcoming municipal polls, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Sunday, promising to clean up the national capital.

He claimed his two-year-old government has done what the BJP dispensation in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh failed to do in 10-15 years.

"In the assembly polls you gave us 67 seats but this time do not leave any such gap. If we win the MCD polls, we will spruce up Delhi and make it look like London within a year," he said.

While campaigning for the upcoming MCD elections in Uttam Nagar, he sought to woo the residents of unauthorised colonies, places that lack basic amenities.

"We have also sent a proposal to the central government for regularisation of unauthorised colonies. The issue is pending before the Delhi High Court," Kejriwal said.

The AAP chief said his government delivered on the promises he made two years ago while campaigning for the Delhi Assembly polls.

Meanwhile, a few residents of the area led by former Congress MLA Mukesh Sharma showed black flag to Kejriwal during his public rally there.

People raised slogans against the Chief Minister and burnt his effigies, alleging the work which began four years ago was not yet completed.

Kejriwal retaliated, saying "the BJP governments is Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh failed to accomplish in 10-15 years what we have done in two years". "We promised we would reduce power and water rates by half, we did it," he said.

People of Delhi are only paying Rs. 1,370 for 400 units of electricity, whereas in Gujarat it costs Rs. 2,700. In Uttar Pradesh, it is Rs. 2,600 for 400 units and people in Mumbai need to pay Rs. 4,000 for the same, he added.

Appealing to people to vote for AAP in large numbers, he said, "We do not have money to contest election. You (public) have to help us. One person should tell 100 people to vote for the AAP. We have to clean Delhi.

"Give all 272 seats to AAP. You have seen the Congress and the BJP. Both are corrupt. Only AAP works for you."

In Delhi, there are three municipal bodies -- north, south and east corporations -- which will go to polls in April. The BJP has been managing the civic bodies in the national capital.

    Despite all pressure tactics through Governor power and negative publicity of CM Kejriwal government has performed better than previous Delhi government. Though Delhi which is at crossroads depending water from Haryana and labour from UP and agriculture dependent on Punjab is not enjoyed the full status of Statehood. The Municipal corporation and Delhi police is under center ruling AAP has no power.

    Having said that, following are some of the new key changes brought about by AAP in Delhi:
    1. Launching the e-ration card facility
    2. Deployment of officials in private hospitals to ensure Economically Weaker Section (EWS) patients get adequate facilities and free treatment.
    3. Deployment of private marshals on the chartered and public buses to ensure women safety.
    4. Issue of Birth & Death certificate will also be online from 1st April, reducing red tapism.
    5. Process for the installation of CCTVs in schools has been started and some MLA’s also installing CCTVs in their area from MLA Funds.
    6. Launching of ten more fast track courts
    7. Registration of new private vehicles to go online.
    8. Creating of a Central Procurement Unit for medicines and other requirements of all government hospitals and clinics.
    9. Creation of a special unit to study, analyse and implement WiFi across the city.
    10. Using a geo-tagging based application for women safety.

    Comparing to PM Modi's central government 'talking london looking tokyo' ,AAP may not achieve London But if one is patient enough to go through the many points listed on this website, one will realize that the AAP is indeed here to make a difference and the change is already happening.

    If there is a will there is a way. AAP has completed just 2 years government in Delhi without police and municipality administration and still they have achieved a lot. Lowest electricity and water tariff in comparing to other states, best government school education and also affordable education in private schools, free mohalla clinics, so that people do not run to hospitals for minor ailments, free diagnostics tests & medicines for poor people, rupees 2500/-old age pension for people who do not get pension from other sources,resettlement of juggies with flats . Congress & BJP ruled India since independence ,majority of their leaders & chamchas amassed wealth more than their known income and the worst thing is that they are responsible for deaths of thousands of innocent people by creating communal riots since then. Division of India and Pakistan happened mainly due to these type of people. One wanted power and other religion. Every time of election go on promising that they will remove poverty and corruption .These parties were only in power all the time and they only encouraged corruption and tell that they only can remove corruption. What a joke. In real AAP only wants corruption free India ,planned development,employment,communal harmony . Arvind Kejriwal is blessed with intelligence,honesty and he is god fearing. If AAP comes to power, definitely corruption and poverty will be removed and India will become a developed nation.

    Unlike other leaders with fake education certificates, Mr. Kajeriwal is well educated and a clean politician. Despite causing every hurdle to stop development work in Delhi, he has succeeded improving education and health sector in Delhi. If he had got proper co-operation from Center, he would have certainly turned Delhi better than UK. He is the only leader who speaks the truth without fear. If he becomes PM, certainly India will be a super power. Those who do not know to recognize his talent, intention and development motive will make fun of him. God bless Mr. Kajeriwal, the clean, educated, intelligent, fearless politician. Lion of Delhi, hope of India.

    please do not make fun of somebody's health .The congress leaders were criticizing AAP while AK went to Punjab for canvassing .Why these congress people are silent when all the central ministers and PM went to UP for election canvassing. There is no difference between congress and BJP. One day may come both will unite and fight against AAP.

    You are so wrong sachidanand, I happened to be at a Doctors clinic & had a glance at the people magazine & i was simply intrigued by the article on the odd even arrangement by the AAp govt to ease traffic congestion. It was a remarkable achievement by Kejriwal. Hats off to him. Here is where Education, matters most. Kejriwal will take the country to new heights. Inspite of the severe adversery stacked heavily against him , he has emerged victorious. Modi tried his level best to deter Kejriwal & interfered with Delhi Govt functioing but kejriwal persisted and has walked the talk, what an achievement . He stands as an alternate to modi & Rahul. Look at his academic achievements, his honesty & his simple lifestyle. He will leave Feku far behind.
