BJP warns of statewide agitation against power tariff power – Vijender Gupta

Delhi BJP has demanded the Chief Minister and DERC Chairman that until the CAG completes audit of all the three private power companies, they should not be allowed to hike the power tariff.

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that there are clear indications that the power distribution companies shall again recover quarterly fuel surcharge from the power consumers of Delhi in June, 2012. Due to this consumers will have to pay more. The private power companies are fully pressurizing DERC to get permission to increase power tariff w.e.f. 1st July, 2012. Delhi Metro, DJB, Indian Railways and the power consumers of Delhi have opposed increase in power tariff in their plea before the DERC which appears to be inclined to allow increase power tariff.

Shri Gupta told that the case for CAG audit of the accounts of power companies is pending before Delhi High Court. In view of the interest of the power consumers, Delhi Government should file an affidavit before the Hon’ble High Court requesting that until the accounts of power companies are not audited by the CAG, the Court should ban increase in power tariff. On 1st July, 2002 the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had said that there are many benefits of privatization of power in Delhi and privatized power distribution. There is stipulation in the agreement for privatization that the Government and DERC shall together end the monopoly of power distribution by the three private companies by the year 2009. New power companies shall be allowed in this business so that there may be healthy competition between the power companies and the people may get benefit in the form of decreased power tariff. But the Government has not taken any step in this direction.

The power companies were also required to fix their Standard of Performance, but they have not framed the Standard of Performance till date. They are working in an arbitrary manner and due to this the consumers are losing. It was also provided in the agreement that the performance will be reviewed from time to time. But this has not been done till date. Delhi Government had also framed rules to impose penalty on the companies for bad performance, but the companies have not implemented it.

BJP Delhi Pradesh President has warned the power companies, Delhi Government and DERC that they should not play with lakhs of power consumers and their interest. New power companies should be allowed to enter in this business so that the power tariff may come down. It is the responsibility of Government and DERC that the interest of the consumer is given highest priority. It has been seen that the DERC and Delhi Government are more worried about the profit of power companies in place of worrying about the consumers of Delhi. He told that the Government, DERC and power companies should be ready to face public movement by the BJP in the interest of the consumers.

Income in Delhi increases marginally but price rise four times – Vijender Gupta

Analysing the claim of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit that per capital income in Delhi has increased by 16.70%, the BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that this claim of the Chief Minister is misleading because during the last one year prices of various commodities have increased from 30 to 50 percent in Delhi. Due to this about two lakh poor people have migrated out of Delhi who were feeling that it is difficult to live here. If one accepts the claim of Delhi Government that per capita income has increased by 16.70% even then it has no positive effect because the cost of essential commodities in the capital has increased so much that it has become difficult for the common man to maintain his family. 

Shri Gupta told that 40% people in Delhi are living below poverty line. Delhi Government has increased the minimum wages from Rs. 256 per day to Rs. 270 per day. How can a common man face 50% price spiral with only 14 Rs. increase in his income? He further told that even ordinary vegetables are being sold at the rate of Rs. 80 per kg. The vegetable vendors in place of indicating the price of vegetables per kg are indicating the price of a quarter of one kg. Almost all the vegetables are being sold at the rate of Rs. 30 per ¼ kg. Grossary items, milk, edible oil, tea etc. have become very costly. The Central and Delhi Governments have not done any thing to curb price spiral. Yesterday Delhi Government had stated that they have formed teams to raid the retail vegetable sellers, but no body has seen these teams working any where in entire Delhi. Vegetable producers are being looted in the Mandi and the common man is being looted by the retailers on the streets. It seems that there is nothing like Government in Delhi. 

The data issued by the Government about the rise in the income shows that the State of Goa which is ruled by BJP is at the top. In Goa per capita income is 1.92 lakh rupees whereas per capita income in Delhi is 1.75 lakh rupees. In order to curb price rise Goa Government reduced VAT on petrol resulting in making petrol cheaper by Rs.11 per litre. In contrast Delhi Government increased VAT on many commodities. Due to this prices have risen further. It is worth mentioning that the poor people in Delhi are not getting ration from PDS shops for the last 40 days. Due to this 40% people of the capital have become victim of mal-nutrition. 

Shri Gupta told that in place of working in the interest of common man, Delhi Government is exploiting them. Government has already committed many bungling of thousands of crores. The latest example is of Rajiv Ratan Awas Yojna. Delhi Government had claimed that it will soon provide 18,000 pucca houses to the poor under this scheme. In a recent incident thousands of files containing the applications of lakhs of poor people under Rajiv Ratan Awas Yojna have disappeared with the connivance of Delhi Government. The Government should have recommended for CBI enquiry, but it is trying to cover up the case and save the guilty persons.

Government wants to put financial burden on newly created Corporations – Vijender Gupta

Delhi Pradesh BJP President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that the claim of the Chief Minister of Delhi that she has given bail-out package of 1831 crore rupees to the three Municipal Corporations is a misleading announcement because this amount is being given as loan to the Corporations which will have to be refunded with interest. This is a conspiracy to financially weaken the newly constituted Corporations. He has asked the Chief Minister that why she could not give this financial package as bail-out package to the three Corporations? The Central and Delhi Government have been providing financial package to the Corporations earlier also. 

He told that the loan and other financial liabilities of the East Delhi Corporation should not be imposed on all the three Corporations. It would be justified that these Corporations start work without any financial burden or pressure and the Central Government & Delhi Government should bear the entire financial liabilities of the unified Delhi Municipal Corporation. In the budget estimates prepared on the directions of Delhi Government the incomes of East Delhi Corporation, South Delhi Corporation & North Delhi Corporation are 1103.87 crore rupees, 2772.80 crore rupees & 2204.03 crore rupees respectively and the expenditure is Rs. 1525.44 crore rupees, 2413.52 crore rupees & 2994.32 crore rupees in the present financial year. Due to this there is estimated deficit of 421.56 crore rupees in the East Delhi Corporation and 790.28 crore rupees in the North Delhi Corporation. Delhi Government is providing loan of Rs. 1831 crore rupees in the name of financial package which will be recovered with interest. 

Actually this estimated deficit is due to creation of new Corporations in an arbitrary and unbalanced manner by the Delhi Government otherwise in the year 2012-13 the income would have been more than the estimated expenditure after making provision for the required amount for development and other social service works in the unified Delhi Municipal Corporation. The Chief Minister of Delhi talks about the other financial liabilities of Delhi Municipal Corporation, but is silent on the pension being denied to 750 senior citizens from every ward and 1000 rupees to other people which was being given from the fund provided by Delhi Government to the Delhi Municipal Corporation since last seven months.

Claims of Congress imaginary and hollow

BJP has clear majority in South Delhi Municipal Corporation – Vijender Gupta 

BJP has claimed with full confidence that it will get its candidate for the post of Mayor elected in the South Delhi Municipal Corporation. All the claims of Congress about its majority are imaginary and contrary to the sentiments of the people and only to mislead the people. BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has raised a question to the Chief Minister and Congress Party that if they have majority in South Delhi Corporation then they should publish the list of the names of Councillors. If the Congress had majority in the Corporation then how it announced the name of the Leader of Opposition? 

He told that Congress has double standards. On the one hand the Chief Minister and the Congress President J.P. Aggarwal say that they had nothing to do with the election of the Councillors and they were quite aloof from the process of MCD elections. But yesterday Smt. Sheila Dikshit in an interview with a TV channel and said that the people of Delhi have not given mandate to them hence Congress Party is not interested in the election of Mayor etc. On the other hand the Congress is conspiring to grab power through back door in South Delhi Municipal Corporation. Under this conspiracy the Congress is trying to mislead the people. They do not have to support of Nationalist Congress Party nor the support of B.S.P. Even the independents are not supporting the Congress. 

Shri Gupta told that the Congress is playing strange drama. Will the Congress with the support of only 29 Councillors in the House of 104 (about 25% of the total number) will be able to get its Mayor elected and conduct the affairs of the Corporation by getting majority? He claimed that BJP has support of members whose number is more than required majority. It will not face any difficulty in getting its Mayor elected. The mispropaganda of the Congress is fresh example of its evil intentions. This Party does not believe in democracy and democratic propriety. Congress has always been using the back door for grabbing power. BJP will foil its attempt to grab power in South Delhi Municipal Corporation. 

BJP has made it clear that in the elections to the post of Mayor, the strength of BJP and the Congress will become clear. The candidates of BJP shall win the posts of Mayor, Deputy Mayor in South Delhi, North Delhi and East Delhi Municipal Corporations. Most of the independents are supporting BJP in South Delhi. The victorious candidates of other small Parties are also in contact with BJP. The Party will not face any difficulty in proving majority because the required number of 58 is with BJP. On the 2nd May the situation will be in favour of BJP. Shri Vijender Gupta has further told that when the people have not given mandate to the Congress in South Delhi Corporation then it should sit in the opposition peacefully following the democratic norms. The people have given mandate to the BJP in this Corporation.

New policy about country-liquor is anti social

Government wants to sell spurious and smuggled liquor in Delhi after stopping the sale of country liquor – Vijender Gupta 

 Delhi Government is going to stop the sale of country liquor in the capital only for additional annual revenue of about 103 lakh rupees. Now in place of a bottle of country liquor of Rs. 70 the consumers will be supplied Delhi Medium country liquor at the rate of Rs. 80 per bottle. Social planners and social service organizations including BJP believe that there will be far reaching social opposition to this decision of Delhi Government. It will also lead to smuggling of country wine in Delhi. The business of spurious liquor will also increase in the capital. 

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit always enjoys taking anti social decisions. She has taken the decision to stop the sale of country liquor in the capital without consulting the experts and the consumers. Government will earn additional revenue of 103 lakh rupees, but the people will have to spend crores of rupees for the treatment of diseases caused by wine consumption. Working hour will also be reduced because diseases shall increase and the people will be visiting hospitals in place of going to their work place. 

The logic behind the sale of Delhi Medium country liquor given by Sheila Government is that the sale of country liquor has gone down during the last year. Due to this there has been loss in the Government revenue. Government should be aware of the fact that there has been increase in the brands of foreign liquor and comparatively being cheaper. The consumers of country liquor have started consuming cheap foreign liquor. This is the biggest reason for the decrease in the sale of country liquor. Government has deliberately concealed the fact about the increase in the revenue from the foreign liquor. There is a conspiracy behind decision to sell country liquor named Delhi Medium. Now the manufacturers of this liquor shall have monopoly in Delhi. In the coming days the Government and liquor producers shall be able to sell it on arbitrary prices. Due to this the people consuming country liquor will have to pay more. 

BJP Pradesh President told that the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is not at all concerned about the fact that during her 13.5 years tenure 40% of Delhi are not getting pure drinking water. In place of providing pure drinking water to the people of Delhi Chief Minister is more concerned about supplying liquor to the wine consumers. Hence she has not made sufficient arrangements for drinking water in Delhi and is concentrating more on the production of Delhi Medium liquor. This decision of Chief Minister and her conduct indicates about the priorities of a women Chief Minister in the capital. Even today 30 lakh people are living in hellish conditions in the capital. Chief Minister is more interested in supplying liquor to them in place of providing high standard of Delhi.

Dr. Shobha Vijender, Councilor ward no. 50

          The Rohini Centeral Unit of BJP organized a light musical program followed by dinner as thanks giving program marking the glorious victory of Dr. Shobha Vijender, Newly elected councilor from ward no. 50, Rohini apart from BJP State President Vijender Gupta & Dr. Shobha Vijender many newly elected councilor from other wards and senior BJP leaders were also present there. Dr. Shobha Vijender said in her thanks giving address to thousands of people gathered at Grand Celebrations, Metro Walk that people of her ward are like brothers and sisters to her. She would leave no stone unturned to solve their problems. A light musical program was also organized in which workers and supporters danced & enjoyed the light moments after that Dr. Shobha Vijender had dinner with the Voters and Supporters from the ward.

BJP clams the statements of Sheila government are insufficient

Unauthorized colonies should be regularized immediately and basic amenities be provided to the people-Vijender Gupta 

BJP has requested the Central and Delhi government that it should stop playing the game of snakes and ladders with 50 lakhs people of more than 1600 unauthorized colonies of Delhi. In a time bound program all the basic amenities be provided so that the lakhs of people living in hellish conditions since years may be given opportunities to lead respectable life and there may be all round development of Delhi. 

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta gave this statement in this contest of the statement of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit issued just after the defeat of the Congress party in MCD elections that all the basic amenities will be provided to the people of unauthorized colonies after there development. Shri Gupta told that the Central, Delhi government and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit have given such statements dozen times during the last years but there has been no change in the condition of these colonies. He told that the Congress should stop playing politics with the people of unauthorized colonies and should fulfill the promises made at the time of distributing provisional certificates distributed in 2008. This will be in the interest of Delhi and the people of Delhi. 

Pradesh President also demanded stern action against the people who obtained provisional certificates by submitting false documents of non existing colonies in connivance with land mafia and land scam of thousands of crores was committed, so that in future no land mafia or government official may commit bungling in the name of regularization of colonies. He told that on the one hand the government talks about regularization and on the other hand it commit bungling of thousands of crores in the name of regularization which shows that Delhi government is not doing justice to the 50 lakh people of Delhi. It consider these people as vote bank and secures votes by exploiting the sentiments and it forgets its promises after wining elections. 

Shri Gupta further told that the same is the conditions of slums of Delhi. Governments had promised that by the yeas 2014 there will no slum cluster in Delhi. Multi stories flats will be constructed in place of slum clusters. Even this promised is not being fulfilled. He has requested Delhi and Central government that they should treat 30 lakhs residents of slum clusters in human way and construct pucca flats to provide them respective life so that Delhi may become prospers city. 

BJP will not tolerate dictatorship

Chief Minister wants to capture the Corporations through back door – Vijender Gupta 

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has alleged that after defeat in all the three Corporations, the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is trying to capture the three Corporations through back door. Government has finalised the names of Commissioners without consulting the BJP which has won the elections. The Party which emerged victorious in the elections was not consulted in the finalising the names of Commissioners. He told that this dictatorship will not be tolerated by BJP and this issue will be raised from the streets to the Parliament. 

Although BJP has won the elections the Government is fully trying to have control over the administration so that the BJP may be obstructed in its efforts to serve the people through the three Corporations. So far Delhi and Central Governments have not informed about the financial position, status of staff and other important matters. All the decisions are being taken secretly without informing the BJP in an arbitrary manner. 

Shri Gupta told that it is essential for democracy and civic government that the Government does not obstruct the local self government in its functioning and allow them to work in an autonomous and independent manner so that the Party which has emerged victorious may run the Corporations in a democratic way. Congress and the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had hatched a conspiracy to divide the Corporation in three parts before the elections. The Central Government approved it without due consideration and trifurcated the Corporation. Congress was planning to capture at least one of the Corporation. 

The people gave their mandate against the misgovernance, corruption, price spiral and loot of the Congress Party in the Corporation elections. The plan of the Congress failed. Now after losing the elections, the Chief Minister refused to take the responsibility of defeat and she has started to make new moves to weaken the BJP. 

Under democracy the primary requirement is that the bureaucrats are appointed with the consultation of the Party which has emerged victorious so that they may not feel difficulties in getting the work of the people done. The Chief Minister wants to create gult between the public representatives and the bureaucrats so that the BJP may have to face redtapism at every step in the work of development of Delhi. 

Milk and Vegetables consumers/producers are incurring loss, Government fails

BJP DEMANDS JUDICIAL COMMISSION TO FINDOUT THE REASONS FOR PRICE SPIRAL 

BJP has supported the demand of all the milk producers of National Capital Region in which demand has been made that in which it has been said that the Government and private dairies are purchasing raw milk at the rate of Rs. 18 per litre from the milkmen and hugely benefiting by selling them at 40 per litre whereas the milk producers are not getting even the cost of milk. The same is the condition of vegetables producers. They get small price for their products in the Mandies but the middlemen are hugely benefiting. BJP demands that a judicial commission should be constituted to find out the reasons for rising prices and the insensitivity of the Government on this issue and other reasons for price spiral. This commission should also suggest measures for curbing price spiral. 

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has pointed out to the Delhi and Central Governments that the milk producers (milkmen) of NCR are not getting even the minimum price of their products and the consumers are compelled to purchase at higher prices. The middlemen, touts and Government are benefiting. The same is the condition of all consumer goods. Farmers are committing suicide because they are not getting the minimum price of their products. The consumers are not able to meet the food requirements of the children but the Government and the middlemen are earning. Delhi and the Congress Governments are sleeping over this issue. They are not concerned with the Common man. The reality is that the Congress Government is only concerned about the profiteers, touts and middlemen. 

Today the milk producers (milkmen) staged a big Dharna/demonstration against the profiteering, adulteration by the dairies and payment of insufficient price to them. They say that if the milkmen produce only 20 lakh litres of milk and supply to the dairies per day then how the dairies are able to sell 60 lakh litres of milk in the market? The milkmen raised a question said that the greatest question is how the dairies produce additional 40 lakh litres of milk. It is obvious that many dairies increase their product by mixing milk powder and other ways of adulteration for increasing the quantity of production. Similarly the Government and private dairies are playing with the health of common man but the Government is not concerned about it. The milkmen have announced that if the Government does not hike the price of their milk then lakhs of milkmen of NCR shall gherao the Parliament on 25th April. 

Shri Gupta told that the same pathetic condition is of the vegetable producer of NCR. They get small price for their products in their Mandies but the middlemen and touts are benefiting. In Azadpur Mandi the price of Potatoes is Rs. 8 per kg but the same Potato is sold at the rate of Rs. 16-20 per kg. In the mandi Onions are being at the rate of Rs. 6 per kg, tomatoes at the rate of Rs. 9 per kg., brinjals Rs. 15 per kg., cauliflower at the rate of Rs. 12 per kg., tinda at the rate of Rs. 33 per kg., ladyfingers at the rate of Rs. 30 per kg., torie at the rate of Rs. 8 per kg., cucumber at the rate of Rs. 4 per kg., mushroom at the rate of Rs. 7 per packet, bitter gourd at the rate of Rs. 15 per kg., gourd Rs. 10 per kg. These vegetables are being sold at 3 times higher price to the consumers in the retail market. The Mandi system of the Government has completely failed.

Manmohan & Sheila are accusing each other for the defeat – Vijender Gupta

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that degected due to the victory of BJP in MCD elections Prime Minister Manmohan Singh & Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit are accusing each other and trying to save themselves. These accusations on each other have proved that the Central Government and Delhi Government have not discharged their constitutional responsibility. Both the Governments remained busy in loot, corruption, bungling, fuelling price spiral and in making anti people decisions. BJP did good work in the MCD and the people awarded it with victory in the three Corporations. 

It may be mentioned that holding the Prime Minister responsible for the defeat in MCD elections, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has said that Congress lost in the MCD elections due to due to the wrong policies of the Central Government, price spiral etc. On the other hand Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has held the failures of Delhi Government and local issues responsible for the defeat of Congress in Delhi. Prime Minister stated in the media that the Corporation elections are fought on local issues. Delhi Government failed to solve the local problems and hence the Congress was defeated in all the three Corporations. The Central Government has nothing to do with the defeat of Congress in Delhi. 

From the first day of the start of election process, BJP was stating that the results of Corporation elections will be the mandate of the people of Delhi against misgovernance, corruption of the Congress, price spiral, failure in maintaining law & order etc. BJP had printed a booklet named ‘Ghotale Hi Ghotale’ on the corruption and anti people policies of Delhi Government and distributed it in the media and people of Delhi on large scale. BJP made corruption in Central and Delhi Governments, wrong decisions and wrong economic policies, failure in running Government the issues in these elections. The people of Delhi face these problems every day. In the mean time an interview of the Chief Minister was published in which she had said that the price spiral is no issue in the MCD elections. People of Delhi earn much and hence they are not affected by price spiral. 

There was great acrimony among the people of Delhi due to dictator like statements of the Chief Minister of Delhi and insensitivity of the Central Government. They took the revenge from the Congress for all these things. Congress was badly defeated and people made BJP victorious so that it may provide all the possible amenities to the people again.

WE ARE WINNING MCD ELECTIONS

VIJENDER GUPTA EXPRESSES HIS GRATITUDE TO THE VOTERS OF DELHI 

In a statement issued here today, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that we are certainly going to win MCD elections. During the process of voting in all the three corporations, indications are that the people are in mood of teaching a lesson to the culture of corruption and price spiral of the Congress. BJP is expecting success in all the three corporations. There was enthusiasm among the candidates and the workers of BJP-Akali Dal Alliance on all 272 seats. 

Expressing his gratitude to the voters of Delhi, he said that on getting opportunity to serve the three corporations again, BJP will stress upon making Delhi better and speedup the development. BJP is committed to make the people of Delhi free from penury.

CONSPIRACY WAS HATCHED BY THE OPPONENTS TO IMPLICATE ME IN THE CASE OF MURDER FOR DEFEATING ME – MADHAV PRASAD

The BJP candidate Shri Madhav Prasad contesting from Ward No. 71 Sangam Park in the MCD Elections told the Press persons here today that under political conspiracy his opponents tried to implicate him in heinous crime like murder. But the court granted bail after finding prima facie that it was a case of political vendetta. 

Shri Madhav Prasad told that he never killed even a mouse in his entire life. How can I commit crime like murder? His image in the public is clean. He won the last election due to his clean image and social service. The opponents had become very upset due to it. The party also gave ticket for the second time from Sangam Park in view of my services and social works. I am grateful to the party and the election committee for this. 

The opposing parties and people found that Madhav Prasad is going to win by large margin. Hence they hatched conspiracy. In this conspiracy I and my collogues were attacked in the mid night. This attack was done by the Goondas of opponents. One person died due to stab injury because we were trying to intervene and save our life. I can say with confidence that the Goondas of the opponents had stabbed the person who died. 

I fully trust in the proceedings of court. I am hopeful that I will be proved innocent after the judicial enquiry and the conspiracy of opponents will fail. 

THERE ARE SUFFICIENT REASONS FOR TERMING CHIEF MINISTER AS A VILLAIN

BIOMETRIC ATTENDANCE SYSTEM EXPOSESD CORRUPTION BY CONGRESS IN THE MCD – VIJENDER GUPTA 

In a statement issued here today, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta has said that Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has not only failed in discharging her responsibilities as Chief Minister of a democratic state but also has become a vamp in the eyes of the people of Delhi by taking many anti people decisions, making false announcements & promises and making anti people statements. Congress was committing bungling of crores by appointing thousands of ghost employees in the MCD during its rule. Just after taking over the MCD, BJP introduced e-governance. Biometric attendance system exposed corruption by Congress in the MCD. By including ghost employees in the muster roll, Congressmen earned 17 crore rupees per month. BJP stopped this heavy corruption in the MCD. The allegation of the Chief Minister about having ghost employees in the MCD was like the case of thief threatening the policemen and consequently she proved herself to be villain. Crores of the people of Delhi are suffering during the Sheila’s rule. They want to get rid of the Congress Government. 

It may be mentioned that the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has expressed her displeasure on being termed as villain in a face to face interview with English daily by the BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta and Congress Pradesh President Shri Jai Prakash Aggarwal. Chief Minister served legal notice to Shri Gupta and demanded apology within 2 days. Chief Minister had said that if Shri Gupta does not apologize then legal action will be taken against him. Shri Vijender Gupta has presented many reasons for terming the Chief Minister as villain. She has reduced the capital into a worse place in place of developing Delhi during the last 13 years. Due to the corruption, price spiral and anti people policies, the image of Delhi has been maligned in the world and the country. 

There are many reasons why Shri Gupta has termed the Chief Minister as villain. Shri Gupta has proved that Mrs. Sheila Dikshit is an inefficient, corrupt Chief Minister who does not care about Constitutional institutions. She avoids to face the charges of corruption. Chief Minister is directly responsible for corruption, price spiral and other failures of the Government. She does not care about law. She has been in power for the last 13 years but Delhi Government has failed to provide even the basic amenities. 

In order to mislead the voters and secure their votes, Smt. Sheila Dikshit issued many misleading and false statements. In the year 2008 she distributed provisional certificates to the residents of unauthorized colonies through Mrs. Sonia Gandhi with the promise that all the basic amenities shall be provided in the colonies. Not a single colony has been regularized. In the name of distributing provisional certificates, Chief Minister, Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Minister Rajkumar Chauhan benefited many landmafia by issuing provisional certificates to many fictitious colonies. By doing such illegal act, Delhi Government committed bungling of thousands of crores. Now, efforts are being made to influence enquiry into it. 

Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had promised the poor people of Delhi that they shall be provided houses at cheap rates. This were has not been completed as yet. Justice Manmohan Sareen wrote a letter to the President of India, requesting her to caution the Chief Minister. Sheila Dikshit became angry due to this letter of Lokayukta and made unconstitutional demand to review the jurisdiction and functions of Lokayukta. Delhi Government also committed bungling of crores in the process of privatization of power. The PAC of Delhi Government has confirmed it. The committee recommended for CBI enquiry but the Chief Minister did not order for such enquiry. 

Mrs. Sheila Dikshit has added insult to the injury of the people by issuing statements from time to time. She had said that she will prefer to walk on foot rather travel in DTC buses. She had also told that the people of Poorvanchal are burden on Delhi. These people utilize the amenities meant for the people of Delhi. Government had submitted in the court that the problem of law and order in Delhi is due to the unauthorized colonies. It means that 50 lakh people living in unauthorized colonies are involved in illegal activities. Smt. Sheila Dikshit denied holiday for ‘Chhath’ pooja saying that how many people of Poorvanchal live in Delhi. In place of providing relief to the people suffering from price spiral, she told that the people of Delhi earn much and hence they are not affected by price rise. Price rise is not an issue in Delhi. 

Shri Gupta told that the Chief Minister also tried to malign the image of MCD. She did not provide funds meant for development works and obstructed the development works of MCD. Congress Governments are at Centre and Delhi but people are not getting pure drinking water. Chief Minister could have emulated Goa Government by decreasing VAT on Petrol, Diesel, Cooking Gas, Food items and could make them cheap but she did not do so. Congress also accused BJP of ghost employees but the reality is that these ghost employees were appointed during the Congress rule. MCD incurred loss 17 crore rupees every month. BJP started biometric attendance system in the MCD and hence the secret of ghost employees was exposed. 

BJP succeeded in building grand Civic Center for Delhi even facing the opposition of Delhi Government. Congress wanted to sell the Civic Center at dirty cheap rate. BJP increased the revenue of MCD from 2500 crore rupees to 7000 crore rupees. BJP also introduced e-governance in MCD and made its works paperless. Crores of people started getting the services of MCD from their houses. The Congress party and Government of Delhi did not fulfill its promises made in its manifestoes even after in 13 years and hence Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is a villain in the eyes of crores of people of the capital.

Grant of bail to the BJP candidate Madhav Prasad demoralizes opponents

In a joint statement, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta & Chairman of the Election Management Committee Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra have said that grant of bail by the Court to the BJP candidate from Ward No. 71, Sangam Park Shri Madhav Prasad for elections to the MCD has proved that the opponents of BJP got a person murdered in order to spoil the peaceful atmosphere of the MCD elections. This incident has proved that the forces opposing BJP can commit heinous crime like murder in frustration. 

Both the leaders told that the learned Judge after hearing the petition Shri Madhav Prasad for bail decided that the case seems to be of political vendetta. The Court granted bail to Madhav Prasad on this ground. The Party facing defeat takes the help of crime and criminals during the election campaign. The Party which is in sight of victory adopts the way of peace, tolerance and cooperation. BJP also adopted the same way which will pave the wave for its victory.

BJP raises 10 questions to Congress Government

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta and Chairman of the Election Management Committee Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra have sought answers of 10 following questions from the Congress Government of Delhi.

• Why the Government increased water tariff after taking over the Delhi Jal Board from MCD?  The quality of water decreased and pollution increased.  Why the Government is working for privatization of water for looting the people?
  
•  Why the Government is allowing hike in power tariff again and again?  Is not the Government hand in glove with power companies?
  
• Why the lifeline of Delhi Yamuna remains to be a dirty drain even after spending 1800 crore rupees for cleaning?  Is not the Government responsible for such terrible corruption?
  
• Why your blood does not boil even after bungling of thousands of crores by Centre and Delhi Government, black money stashed away in foreign banks and imposition of taxes on the people?
  
• Is not the Congress Government responsible for many times increase in the prices of petrol, diesel, cooking gas, CNG, ration, flour, sugar, rice, oil, milk products, tea, vegetable, fruits etc?
  
• The price of milk has been increased six times in a year.  Why you are silent on depriving the poor children of milk by the Congress Government?
  
• Has not the Government made your life difficult by increasing service tax?  Is not it an anti people act of imposing service tax on edible items, tourism, mobile service, telephone service, power supply, tent service etc.
  
• Woman Chief Minister of Delhi Mrs. Sheila Dikshit is in power for the last 13 years.  Yet why the Court and media have termed Delhi as the haven of rapists and criminals?  Don’t you feel ashamed because you are a citizen of Delhi?
  
• 50 lakh people of unauthorized colonies of Delhi are living in hellish conditions.  At the time of Assembly elections in 2008 provisional certificates were distributed to the people of these colonies for securing votes, but not a single colony has been regularized.  Why betrayal with 50 lakh people?  Will you remain silent even now?
  
• Government had promised that the people living in Jhuggie jhompries and slums shall be provided houses at cheap rates.  Not a single such house has been provided to them.  Is not it a betrayal of them?
  

Shri Vijender Gupta and Prof. Malhotra have called upon the people of Delhi that they should certainly take revenge from the Congress Government for its betrayal, anti people decisions, price spiral and corruption.  Vote for BJP on the 15^th April and make Delhi prosperous.

BJP-Akali alliance will repeat the history of victory in Punjab in the MCD elections

BJP has made a forecast that the results coming out of EVMs showing the victory of BJP-Akali Dal alliance on the date of counting i.e. 17th April will shake many big Congress leaders. This alliance had succeeded in Punjab Assembly elections due to the unity of both these parties. Similarly the unity of these parties will prove Waterloo for the Congress in the MCD elections. 

In a joint press conference, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta, Chairman of the Election Management Committee Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra, National Vice President of Alaki Dal (B) Shri Onkar Singh Thapar and President of the Delhi Akali Dal (Badal) Shri Manjeet Singh, GK told that the support of people of Delhi is with the BJP-Akali Dal alliance. The way in which Congress betrayed the people of Delhi and the country in ensuring punishment to the guilty persons of 1984 riots, the people of Delhi are very much angry. The family members of the people killed in the riots have not been given justice. They shall certainly take revenge for the atrocities on them. BJP-Akali alliance will get two third majority and provide good governance to the people of Delhi. 

All the three leaders told that Congress is fully responsible for price spiral, corruption, deteriorating law & order & misgovernance. Two crore people of Delhi are suffering due to the anti people decisions of the Congress. They want to dislodge the Congress Government and bring BJP’s good governance. The MCD elections shall prove to be plebiscite against the Congress. There is wave of BJP in entire Delhi. The people of Delhi think that it is their duty to defeat the Congress Party. In view of its certain defeat the Congress Government is using money-muscle power, misuse of power & Government machinery whereas the BJP candidates are following the directions of the Commission and Model Code of Conduct. The brave people of Delhi shall certainly teach Congress a lesson. All the candidates shall win by large margins under BJP-Akali alliance. 

The BJP and Akali leaders told that during the last 13 years, the Delhi Government has made the capital an ugly state. Here more than 50 lakh people are living in hellish conditions in the unauthorised colonies and about 30 lakh people are living in slums. The common man is badly suffering due to price spiral, corruption and Congress misrule. He wants to get rid of the Congress.

BJP will open a medical college under MCD this year, not impose any new tax

With the promise for all-round development of Delhi BJP releases its manifesto for MCD elections 

Releasing election manifesto for MCD elections separately in four languages, BJP Pradesh Incharge & former National President Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu told that the BJP has done many good works for the service of the people of Delhi through MCD. He has appealed to the people that they should again make the BJP victorious in the forthcoming elections so that the promise for all-round development of Delhi included in the manifesto may be fulfilled. Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta presided over the programme for releasing the manifesto. 

Shri Naidu told that the Congress ruled Delhi Government put many hindrances in the public welfare oriented works of the BJP ruled MCD. Financial assistance for many projects were not given. Yet the BJP provided the facility of e-governance without imposing any new tax or increasing the existing tax. Lakhs of people of Delhi are benefiting due this. The Congress Government took away DJB, Slum department, Yaumna Action plan etc. from the MCD and ruined these departments by allowing corruption in them. Now the Government wants to completely destroy the MCD which will not be allowed by the BJP in any condition. 

Delhi Government misleads the people on the occasion of elections and starts series of false promises and announcements. In order to mislead the voters on the occasion of Assembly elections in 2008, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit got provisional certificates of regularisation of the unauthorised colonies having population of 50 lakh people distributed through Mrs. Sonia Gandhi with the promise to provide all the basic amenities. Shri Naidu asked when these provisional certificates shall become original certificates? Sheila Dikshit & Sonia Gandhi should answer this question to the residents of unauthorised colonies because five years have elapsed since the promises were made. 

At the time of issuing the manifesto, Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta became emotional and told that he has made Delhi as his work place and hence he is emotionally connected with Delhi. This is not the manifesto of BJP, but the Party has presented its vision before the people. This document is a living example of the feelings and emotions of the BJP and the people of Delhi. BJP has come forward with this manifesto to fulfil its promise within the next five years. The Municipal Corporation of any city is the most important organ of the citizens. Corporations work as civil government. Every citizen has to to something with it. BJP has served the people of Delhi by providing transparent, accountable, corruption-free and efficient administration during the last five years. 

He told that the Civic Centre of Delhi is a unique example of modern architecture and beauty Which has been dedicated by BJP to the people of Delhi. When request was made for fund from the Government under plan head for Civic Centre then the Government refused. BJP did not lose hope and saved fund from property tax, advertisement tax, toll tax and constructed 28 storied Civic Centre. During the Congress rule in MCD, plan was made to sell the Civic Centre to a private builder at the cost of 396 crore rupees. Just after taking over the MCD in 2007, BJP found that efforts have been made to commit a bungling in this case and it closed the file connected with the sale of Civic Centre. The unique Civic Centre which is adding pride to India in the entire world today is a sample of architectural beauty which has been constructed under green building plan. In the Civic Centre which was planned for being sold by the Congress for 396 crore rupees only, today BJP has reserved 6 lakh square feet space out of 12 lakh square feet space for the MCD works and has earned profit of 1300 crore rupees by selling 6 lakh square feet of space to Income Tax Department for 1806 crore rupees which will be invested in public service. 

Shri Gupta told that during the next five years Delhi will be developed with the help of beneficial & development oriented projects. Today garbage is piled over 700 acres of land in Delhi today, BJP will clear this pile of garbage and clear 700 acres of land for the development works. BJP has raised the slogan of waste to wealth – waste to energy which will become truth. MCD has also planned to manufacture tiles and organic manure from the garbage and earn money. Delhi will be made sanitation free land. In the year 2012 itself, BJP will open a new medical college under MCD and pave the way for producing thousands of Doctors. The lanes & roads shall be constructed with ready-mix concrete. A complete drainage master plan will be framed for making the drainage system of Delhi pollution free and implemented in Delhi. He has openly challenged the CM of Delhi to desist from making false allegations against BJP and MCD and should come forward for an open debate by accepting direct challenge. Party is fully ready for it. He announced that BJP will not impose any tax on the people of Delhi during the next five years and make the Corporation paperless place. 

Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra told that the Congress Government has made the life of the people difficult due to price spiral and corruption. The Congress Government has looted 45 thousand crore rupees from the people by imposing service tax. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has been reprimanded by the Lokayukta of Delhi for corruption many times. CVC, CAG, CBI and Shunglu Committee have exposed her corruption. The Chairperson of Election Manifesto Committee and former Mayor Arti Mehra told that the BJP Manifesto is a document of real promises. She raised a slogan ‘Aao Chale Aur Behtar Delhi Ki Aur’. Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, Mange Ram Garg, Vani Tripathi, Rameshwar Chaurasia, Mewa Ram Arya, P.K. Chandla, Srikanth Sharma, Sanjay Kaul and other senior leaders were present on this occasion.

Before accusing BJP Congress Party should make self appraisal

Congress Manifesto a misleading document of promises which may never be fulfilled - BJP 

Terming the Congress manifesto as a document of false promises which may never be fulfilled, BJP has said that the Congress Government which issued a white-paper criticising the BJP ruled MCD, is completely involved in corruption. This has demonstrated the frustration of the Congress Party. BJP will issue its manifesto prepared for the development of all the three Corporations before the public and the media tomorrow. 

Giving this information, BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta and the Chairman of Election Management Committee Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra told the press persons that BJP has made MCD as the first Corporation of the country in which the facility of e-governance has been started for all the citizens. They can avail most of the services of MCD from their houses. Both the leaders have openly challenged the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit to prove any of the charges levelled against BJP and MCD. Before accusing BJP Congress Party should make self appraisal. 

In its manifesto the Congress has mentioned about issuing provisional certificates to the unauthorised colonies, but it has not been mentioned that with the connivance of the Government and with knowledge of Sonia, Sheila and Raj Kumar Chauhan about 150 such colonies were issued provisional certificates which did not exist at all at the time of issuing certificates. The Government had to announce an enquiry into this case after BJP’s strong protest, but files are missing in connection with bungling of thousands of crores. Now the Lokayukta has issued strong orders that the Government should file cases against the persons involved in missing files. 

The case of regularising the unauthorised colonies was dealt by the then Revenue Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan and Joint Secretary of Unauthorised Colony Cell IAS officer Madhukar. It was only after the President of India recommended dismissing the officer - Shri Madhukar was dismissed. But the corrupt Minister Raj Kumar Chauhan was not removed from his post even after the comments of Lokayukta and allegation of committing bungling of thousands of crores in distributing provisional certificates and in the case of tax invasion in Tivoli Garden. 

Not a single college has been opened under Delhi University during the last 13 years. Even hospitals have not been opened for which promises had been made. Nobody cares about the poor in admission to the schools & hospitals. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is roaming free even after committing scam of thousands of crores in CWG. Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Shri Manmohan Singh, Shri P. Chidambaram are protecting her. Shunglu Committee appointed by the PM, CAG and Lokayukta have exposed corruption by Sheila Dikshit but no action has been taken against her as yet. 

Due to corruption oriented wrong economic policies of the Congress Government, price spiral is uncontrolled. Government is deliberately avoiding to take action for curbing price rise. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit had issued statement that the people of Delhi earn more and hence they are not affected the price spiral. The women in the capital are not safe although the Chief Minister of Delhi is woman. Law & order system has failed. Supreme Court and High Court have termed Delhi as the haven of rapists and criminals. No body is safe in their houses here. 

The Congress Party had made announcement about providing 15000 cheap houses to the poor. This announcement was made at the time of Assembly elections in 2008 and MCD elections in 2007. Not a single such house has been allotted to the poor till date. Congress has also claimed about starting Metro Rail whereas the reality is that BJP started Metro Rail in Delhi. The then Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajapyee was the first person to have travelled in Metro Rail. He travelled from Kashmere Gate to Shahdara in Metro Rail after purchasing a ticket and this way started Metro Rail service. 

The BJP has started for the first time solid garbage management system under MCD so that the capital may be clean and energy may be produced from garbage. BJP has also provided computers, uniforms and books to the poor students. Separate toilets for the girls students have also been provided. BJP also opened schools and hospitals in those villages in which it was not provided during the last 64 years and it was done in record time. 

The people of Delhi are facing the evil consequences of privatisation of power in Delhi. Congress had made false promise of providing regular power and water in its election manifesto. The reality is that 40% people of Delhi are not provided drinking water. These people depend upon private sources. The Congress also wants to privatise water supply and recover many times higher tariff. Action has already been started in this directions. Government could not treat water of dirty drains in Delhi. The Yamuna has changed into a dirty drain.

BJP will release separate manifesto for all the three Corporations tomorrow

BJP will release separate election manifesto for the three Corporations of Delhi tomorrow. The manifesto will be released to the people and media by the Party Incharge Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta, Chairman of Election Management Committee Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra and other senior leaders. The Election Manifesto will contain announcements for the development programmes of North Delhi Corporation, South Delhi Corporation and East Delhi Corporation. For the convenience of the people these are being issued in Hindi, English, Punjabi and Urdu. 

Price spiral increased to 30% after the budget

CM of Delhi completely failed to control price spiral should resign – BJP

Bharatiya Janata Party today strongly criticised the Delhi Government for their failure to control price spiral in Delhi. Despite the fact State Government is competent enough to control such increase in the price rise which has hit the common man badly.

BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta & Leader of Opposition in Delhi State Assembly Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra in a joint statement BJP leaders said that there is adequate stock at cheap rates of vegetables & fruits in the wholesale markets, but in the capital the retail market under the umberella of Delhi Government the retail prices are very high upto many times that is why the middlemen and hoarders are flurshing. Both the leaders of BJP blamed for unjustified burden on the consumers due to the bad policies ofDelhi Government and demanded resignation of Chief Minister on moral grounds.

Addressing the media, BJP leaders said the prices of fruits and vegetables has gone out of reach of the common man in Delhi.  Poor man is compelled to cook potato and onion as a vegetable, because sky rocketing vegetable retail prices are very high.  Earning in Delhi 80% population is less than 10 thousand only per family.  BJP leaders raised question to be answered by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chief Minister of Delhi Smt. Sheila Dikshit how can a family of six members can survive in the expensive city like Delhi in which the transportation expenditure of the family Rs. 150 and Public Districtution System is full of corruption.
