Vijay Goel warns Shiela Dikshit against any Hike in Power Tariff

BJP will use Electricity Connection Portability and Competition to reduce Power Tariff by 30%. 

New Delhi, 28 April: Shri Vijay Goel today warned Shiela Dikshit government against any hike in the Power Tariff. Speaking at the Akrosh Rally organized jointly by the BJP and various RWA’s of North Delhi Goel announced his plan to have a massive protest at Ramlila Maidan if the government makes any further increase in the already high Power Tariff in Delhi. He said, “I will not stop agitating until this government is uprooted if the people of Delhi are burdened any more by a hike power tariff. 

Mr. Goel's plan for at least 30% reduction in Power Tariff in Delhi by bringing in Electricity connection portability where the consumer shall have the option to choose from a bouquet of vendors competing against each other. Goel drew comparisons with mobile phone market to underline the fact that mobile phone services which started as the most expensive services are now the cheapest in the world. He promised to come out with a detailed plan to reduce and manage the power tariff in Delhi. He went on to challenge Sheila Dikshit to implement his plan immediately and bring relief to the people of Delhi. 

Mr. Goel further went on to point out that there is no shortage of water supply in Delhi and that the water crises in Delhi is created by utter mismanagement of the Congress government and that the BJP shall bring running water to every house hold in Delhi merely by streamlining the distribution system. 

He said that BJP cadre shall uproot the Congress in the next elections with the power of Paper, Pen, Brains and Speech. 

The 10,000 strong crowd present at the Akrosh Rally seemed enthusiastic about Mr. Vijay Goel who is on a series of Akrosh Rallys in different parts of Delhi. On this occasion Legislator Shri Jai Bhagwan Aggarwal, District President Shri Tarachand Bansal, former Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta, former M.P. Dr. Anita Arya, Pradesh General Secretary Shri Pravesh Verma were also present.

Charge sheet against Delhi Government submitted to the President.


BJP delegation led by Goel meets President of India. 

New Delhi, 27th April, 2013. A delegation led by BJP Delhi Pradesh President Vijay Goel and Leader of the Opposition in Delhi Legislative Assembly Vijay Kumar Malhotra met the President of India and submitted a Charge Sheet against the Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit. It has been demanded in the Charge Sheet that the Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit has completely failed in discharging her duties. The Chief Minister and her Government have no right to continue. In exercise of his powers under article 239-AB of the Constitution, the President should dismiss the Sheila Government. The delegation included former Pradesh Presidents Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Shri Vijender Gupta, Legislators Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, Shri Ramesh Bidhuri, National Secretary Aarti Mehra and Pradesh Mahila Morcha President Shikha Rai. 

After the meeting which continued for half an hour, the President assured the delegation that he will talk to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Shri Shinde in this regard. 

The delegation of Shri Goel and Shri Malhotra apprised the President about the condition of Delhi. Shri Goel told the President that Law and Order has failed in Delhi. The incidents of rape are increasing alarmingly. Girls and women do not feel safe in Delhi. Not only the political parties but the NGOs and general public are agitating in their streets and even now new cases of rape are being reported. Is the continuance of this Government justified in these conditions? 
Shri Goel said that public order in Delhi is disturbed. There is nothing like Government in Delhi. There is deep resentment among the people on the issue of power and water. During the last two years, the power tariff has been increased by 60 percent. Agitations are taking place every day against nexus between power companies and Delhi Government and against increasing power tariff. Water charges have been increased by 11 to 10 times during the last 15 years. Water supplied at 35 paise per kilolitre has been increased up to 35 rupees per kilolitre. 50 percent of the people of Delhi do not get potable water and are compelled to drink such water which is not worth drinking. Some days ago there was fight over getting drinking water in which a person was crushed under the wheels of water tanker. The CAG has found that there is no facilities in the hospitals and private and costly hospitals are replacing the Government hospitals. There is scarcity of medicines, blood, nurses and doctors in the Government hospitals. Nobody wants to send his children to Government schools. People have no option but to get costly education for their children in public schools. 

Power, health services and education are being privatized and now privatization of water supply is also on cards. 

Shri Malhotra said that the Shunglu Committee appointed by the Prime Minister had indicted Sheila Government for corruption in Commonwealth Games. CAG, PAC and Lokayukta have makes serious comments against Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, her Ministers for corruption. 
Shri Goel said that the people of Delhi know that how much the prices of petrol, diesel, LPG, water, power charges, stamp duty, circle rate, transport fees, GPS have increased during the last 15 years. This year the Lt. Governor in his budget speech had mentioned about saving 30 thousand crore rupees by preventing power theft from 57 percent to 15 percent but why power tariff has been increased? 

Shri Goel requested the President to dismiss this Government for failing to maintain public order under Article 239-AB and failing to comply with the provisions of Article 239-AA of the Constitution of India.

Delhi feels unsafe; CM should be sacked for collapse of public order: Goel

New Delhi, April 24.- With the capital of the country forced to bear repeatedly the shameful tag of ‘rape capital’ and the common people bearing the brunt of complete lack of accountability  displayed by  the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her colleagues in the government, Delhi BJP unravelled a ‘chargesheet’   which makes a fit case for sacking of this government.
“This chargesheet shows that from law and order to power, water, sewage, health, social sector schemes –the Delhi government has proved to be a disaster on all fronts. The city residents should not be forced to bear the burden of this misrule, hence we demand immediate dismissal of this government,’” said Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel.

 “It is shameful that even as the city continues to become increasingly unsafe, the Chief Minister  has done nothing to improve the situation,” he added.
 “The Chief Minister and Congress legislators and ministers always give this lame excuse of the Delhi Police being under the home ministry. But the home ministry is also manned by a Congress minister,” Shri Goel said.
 “In fact  her own party colleague Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde recently exposed her when he categorically said that not even once  Sheila Dikshit has asked for Delhi Police to be brought under the purview of the state government.  This exposes the double speak of the Chief Minister which is really condemnable,” he added.
 The Delhi BJP President said that a delegation of the BJP leaders would meet the President of India to demand sacking of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and her government.
 “If a government cannot protect its own citizens, it has no right to continue. Today, none of the Delhi residents feel safe. And ironically, the Chief Minister herself is demanding removal of the Police Commissioner even though it is her party which is ruling at the state and Centre.”
 Shri Goel said, this demand from the chief minister is an admission that the law and order situation has completely broken down and under the constitutional norms, this makes a fit case for sacking of this government.
  To add to the woes of Delhi residents who are feeling unsafe, the Delhi government has  been brazenly favouring private power companies for tariff hike. There is documentary evidence now which shows that the government is hand in glove with power companies.   The  rampant corruption of this government has been exposed. There is complete collapse of water supply and sewage management and health services.  In case of transport, the government has been indicted for corruption by none other than the CAG.
 In such conditions, this government has lost the trust of the common people and the sooner it goes, the better it will be for Delhi, said Shri Goel.


BJP Chargesheet  to sack Delhi Congress government
 If the President, on receipt of a report from the Lieutenant Governor or otherwise, is satisfied: 
  • that a situation has arisen in which the administration of the National Capital Territory  cannot be carried on in accordance with the Provisions of article 239AA or of any law made in pursuance of that article; or
  •  that for the proper administration of the National Capital Territory it is necessary or expedient so to do.
The President may by order suspend the operation of any provision or article 239 AA or all or any of the provisions of any law made in pursuance of that article for such period and subject to such conditions as may be specified in such law and make such incidental and consequential provisions as may appear to him to be necessary or expedient for administering the National Capital Territory in accordance with the provisions of article 239 and article 239 AA.


Lack of safety for women

  • According to the latest data of National Crime Records Bureau, out of 53 cities of the country having a population of more than 10 lakh, -Delhi has accounted for 17.6% of Rape cases, 31.8% of Kidnapping & Abduction cases, 14% of Dowry Deaths and 10.1% of Molestation cases. Among  these 53 cities, Delhi (4,489 cases) has accounted for 13.3% of  crimes against women

  • The women-centric policing in the city is almost absent as the number of women in Delhi Police is woefully low at just 7 per cent of the Delhi Police strength. What's worse is that they are usually given routine and inconsequential posts and are rarely seen patrolling the city streets. Shockingly, of the 161 district police stations in Delhi, only one (Maurice Nagar in north campus) has a woman station house officer (SHO), as per available information in December 2012.

  • There are 4,809 women officers of various ranks, ranging from constables to inspectors. Delhi Police statistics reveal that there are 72 women inspectors - the rank at which they are made SHOs - but there are hardly a handful of such cops posted as SHOs, and that too at places like the Crime against Women cell, Rithala metro station and New Delhi railway station. Most women officers are found posted at the women help desks at police stations, as PSOs to VIP wives and children or at the 3rd battalion to escort prisoners between jail and court.
The CAG report on Delhi Police has clearly said most of the funds earmarked for modernisation of the communication branch of the Delhi Police were not utilised. Physical implementation of Intelligent Traffic System could not be started due to deficient planning, thereby, depriving users of the benefits of world-class traffic system in the Capital, apart from unfruitful expenditure of Rs.7.5 crore, it said.
Missing Children:  The city is not only unsafe for the women and the girls but it has become  one of the most dreaded places for children and their parents also as a large number of children in the capital go missing every year. As many as 14 children go missing daily in the city. . In   last two years around 7200  cases of  children being kidnapped were reported. This is another clear evidence of the unsafe environment in the city. 



Bungling in Ladli scheme meant for girls
The CAG audit of the Ladli scheme. Many of the Ladli beneficiaries were automatically dropped from the scheme after their policies were not renewed. Only 73,108 (58.11%) cases were renewed out of 1, 25,808 between 2010-11 and 2011-12. Due to absence of monitoring, the scheme failed to support 42% of the beneficiaries who had enrolled for the scheme after birth but did not renew it. CAG's survey of some girls' only and co-educational schools in the city found that the beneficiaries dropped from 27.17% in 2009-10 to 20.92% in 2010-11 and to 18.30% in 2011-12.

Due to massive hike in power tariffs, the city residents have been forced to come out on the streets to protest. Unfortunately, the chief minister of Delhi reacted by saying that “If you cannot pay higher bills, then better to get your power supply disconnected!” When delegations of hapless citizens tried to meet the CM over this issue, she had another word of advice adding insult to the injury of Delhi citizens as she said, “If you are getting higher bills, then stop using cooler and air conditioners and use only one light and a fan!”
Lokayukta has sent a notice to the Delhi government for allegedly providing undue advantage to Reliance Energy to the tune of Rs 129 Crore.

 The CAG has also indicted the Delhi government for rampant corruption in the power sector.  The CAG report rapped Delhi Transco Limited (DTL), a Delhi government company in-charge of power, for achieving mere 32.08 per cent target in augmentation of transmission capacity from 2007-08 to 2011-12 and for not being able to recover an amount of Rs.754.83 crore as transmission charge from BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd and BSES Yamuna Power Ltd.


The audit report found DTL to have extended a rebate of `6.81 crore to discoms on wheeling power (transmission costs) which was not allowed by Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC).


The CAG also found discoms BRPL (BSES Rajdhani Power Limited) and BYPL to be irregular in their payments of wheeling charges from October 2010 onwards. An amount of Rs.754.83 crore was pending for recovery from them as on December 15, 2012. The national auditor recommended bringing transparency in tax collection so that such losses can be avoided.

Transport
The Transport department has also become the den of corruption. In one of the recent scams involving a sum of no less than Rs 200 to Rs 300 crore, while the contractors who were given contract for clearing fitness of the commercial vehicles have been in jail, no action has been taken against the political masters. Interestingly, this whole proposal was cleared by the Delhi Cabinet.

According to the CAG department of transport (DoT) favoured Delhi Integrated Multimodal Transit System (DIMTS) on many occasions by granting contracts on nomination basis in non-transparent and non-competitive manner. "Though a private company, DoT continued to accord special treatment (to DIMTS) by awarding works on nomination basis in violation of financial norms.

The DoT accepted the proposals as submitted by the DIMTS, without any scrutiny," said the report. "Even when results could not be achieved during the plan period, the DoT, without concurrence of the finance department, awarded the work related to BRT to the DIMTS at a higher rate than that of PWD," added the report.
The report said that there was an irregular expenditure of Rs.9.25 crore (May 2011) to DIMTS without appropriate approval of the finance department, which instructed DoT (in July, 2011) to ask for refund from the company.
The auditor observed that the DoT released Rs.42.89 crore to private operators for operation of four clusters against the revenue collection of Rs.27.41 crore during 2011-12.  Even as there is no end to the corruption cases in the transport department, the public transport services continue to be in shambles. Especially in remote areas of outer Delhi and in several unauthorised and resettlement colonies, due to absence of rationalisation of routes, the public transport is hardly available.

Water and Sewage
Delhi residents continue to wait for sufficient water supply even as the Congress government has got itself busy in privatisation of the water supply in Delhi.  While the demand for water is 1050 MGD, the Delhi Jal Board has the optimum capacity to supply on 827 MGD. One in every four Delhiite gets 3.82 litre of water a day as against a prescribed 172 litres,
There seems to be clear nexus between the Tanker Mafia and section of the government. Also, the water tariffs have been hiked substantially in the recent time resulting in harrowing time for the common people. 24.8 per cent of the households in Delhi were being supplied water through tankers in the absence of pipelines. Per capita supply to this population was only 3.82 litres per day against a prescribed norm of 172 litres,
The government has completely mismanaged the water and sewage. The CAG says that the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), responsible for the territory's water supply, has added only 1 MGD (million gallons per day) capacity of sewerage treatment plants, while laying about 900 km of sewer line during 2007-12 with an expenditure of Rs 1,634.18 crore.
“The DJB had not prepared any perspective plan for sewage management for XIth five year plan, and could collect and treat only 367 MGD (54%) out of 680 MGD of sewage generated in Delhi,” the report said.
Furthermore, there was a lack of equitable distribution of drinking water within the NCT, the CAG said, “due to lack of reliable data on population and water supplied to different areas,” and the absence of comprehensive metering of water meant that “less than 40% of water produced was billed during last three years.”

Health
In New Delhi’s hospitals, “emergency departments were not providing required services due to lack of essential equipment, medicines and adequate staff,” the report said, adding that “all the test checked hospitals were lacking in facility for purified and clean drinking water.”

More curiously, the CAG said that the 1000-bed Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital and LN (Lok Nayak) Hospital, “have been using ambulances, mainly for miscellaneous purposes instead of for the patients”, apart from the fact that these vehicles did not have “essential equipment for basic life support system”.
Underlining issues at the Directorate of Health Services, the CAG reported that no construction work has started at the land sites for 10 hospitals, ranging in capacity between 60-700, that were allocated between 1997 and 2008.

Poor Tax management
The CAG also pulled up the Delhi government for slow progress of work, non-finalisation of purchase proposals and less release of grants to various organisations in its audit report of state finances.
While the tax revenues of the state increased by 21% to Rs 3,494 crore, the report pointed out short payment of value added tax amounting over Rs 2,321 crore.
CAG has blamed imprudent decision making of the Delhi government in not getting the insurance cover on the basis of current valuation of assets by Indraprastha Power Generation Company Limited, resulting in a loss of Rs 2.33 crore due to under insurance.

The non-tax revenue, which constituted 2.06% of total revenue receipts during 2011-12 decreased by 89% to Rs 3,728 crore over previous year, it added.
Besides, the report also mentioned that about 39% of the audited cable operators in the city failed to pay taxes for the past three years. Moreover, the state department of finance was unable to recover entertainment tax Rs 1.26 crore from 12 cinema hall owners and luxury tax amounting to Rs  9.76 crore from the hoteliers.

Indictments by  Lokayukta and Judiciary-

  • In 2009, the Lokayukta passed strong strictures against Sheila Dikshit and Rajkumar Chauhan on Rajiv Ratan Awas Yojana. The Lokayukts had recommended the President of India to take action against the two
  • In 2010, the Lokayukta again recommended removal of  Raj Kumar Chuhan, a minister in Delhi government, for trying to protect a resort.
  • In March 2012, the Delhi High Court issued a contempt notice against Directorate of Education
  • In October 2012, the Delhi High Court expressed its anguish over the slow pace of work on Yamuna cleanliness
  • The  judiciary has also taken the Delhi government to task over BRT corridor issue.

Tuesday 23 April 2013

New Delhi, 23rd April. In a letter written to the President of India, the BJP Delhi Pradesh President, Vijay Goel has sought an appointment for a delegation of BJP office bearers and legislators led by Shri Vijay Goel and Leader of the Opposition Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra. 

This delegation will demand the dismissal of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for deteriorating law and order in Delhi. Shri Goel told that tomorrow he will present a charge sheet against Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit in which he will claim that law and order has collapsed and there is Jungle Raj in Delhi. The incidents of crimes are increasing and the people are compelled to come in the streets. 

Shri Goel said that Chief Minister is responsible for the administration and she wants to escape from her responsibility by holding others accountable. There are provisions in the Constitution in India according to which the President can exercise his discretion and take steps in such situations. 

Today the workers of Yuva Morcha took out a Candle March from the BJP Delhi Pradesh Office to the CM residence. They had the pictures of Chief Minister in their hands on which it was written “Failed to protect Delhi women, Responsible for unsafe Delhi, Failed to stop rape in Delhi.” “Dilli me badhte apradh, Balatkar ki doshi, Mukhyamantri Sheila Dikshit.” The demonstrators were stopped by the police in the midway. 

A committee has been formed under the chairmanship of BJP Legislator Ravindra Bansal who will prepare charge sheet for submission to the President.

If the Chief Minister really wants she can get the Police Commissioner remove-Goel.

  •  Is the bureaucracy alone responsible while their political masters go scot free?

New Delhi, 22nd April, 2013.   As the mark of protest against the brutal rape of 5 year old Gudia, Delhi BJP led by President Vijay Goel along with 3000 workers marched towards the Parliament. The protesters had black ribbon tied around their mouths and wore black caps as a token of protest against the Delhi Government’s failure to provide security to women. Addressing the protestors Vijay Goel said that the Delhi Police Commissioner is appointed by the Home Minister in consultation with the Chief Minister of Delhi. Hence her and her son Sandeep Diskhit’s constant stand that she wants the Police Commissioner to be removed is mere posturing and it has less substance in it. Goel said, if both Sheila Dikshit and the Home Minister want the Delhi Police Commissioner to be sacked, then who is preventing his removal?

Goel further said that it is Congress’s old habit of accusing other persons for their own mistakes. For the 2G corruption, the Congress has made a scapegoat out of       A. Raja, Kalmadi has been hanged for CWG mess and now the Congress is trying its best to project that for the deteriorating security of women in Delhi, the buck stops at the Police Headquarters. Goel questioned is this right kind of democracy, where the bureaucracy alone is held responsible while their political masters go scot free? Can the highest elected political representative like the Chief Minister simply walk away by holding others responsible for her misdeeds?
Goel said that Delhi is reeling under Jungle Raj and this needs immediate intervention to provide much required relief to the people of Delhi.
Goel along with protestors were halted at the gate of the Parliament. They were assaulted and arrested. The Dharna was also attended by MLA's Jagdish Mukhi, Ramesh Bidhuri, Councillor Subhash Arya and BJP Vice President Pawan Sharma.

Chief Miniter Sheila Dikshit should resign herself before the resignation of Police Commissioner – Goel


     When BJP will come to power, even the daughter of Sheila Dikshit will feel safe- Vijay Goel

 New Delhi, 21st April, 2013.   Raising question on the incidents of rape almost every day in the capital BJP Delhi Pradesh President Vijay Goel has said that why the Chief Minister of Delhi is helpless in this matter? Reacting to the comments of Sheila Dikshit in which she had said that even her daughter is not safe in Delhi, Shri Goel said that when BJP will come to power, along with the people of Delhi, the daughter of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit will feel safe. Shri Goel further said that the Congress Governments at centre and Delhi have completely failed. The criminals are not afraid of the Government or the police. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit should resign herself before the resignation of Police Commissioner.

Under the leadership of BJP Mahila Morcha President Shikha Rai, a massive demonstration was staged at the residence of Congress President Sonia Gandhi by the workers of Mahila Morcha to protest against the failure of law and order in Delhi and the increasing number of incidents of rape in Delhi because the Congress is the ruling party at Centre and Delhi. Women workers were so much agitated that they broke down all the barricades put up by the police and reached at the residence of Sonia Gandhi. The police lathi charged them in a barbarous manner in which many women workers were seriously injured. Goel has strongly condemned it. Shri Goel went to RML Hospital to see the condition of injured women Shikha Rai, Sandhya Verma, Alka Chaudhary, Surekha, Rajkumari.
 
Reacting to the incident of rape against a minor girl of 14 years by two young men in Shradhanand Colony of Bhalaswa Jahangirpuri, Shri Goel demanded that the persons responsible for the rape of minor girls should be hanged.

Shri Goel has demanded the Police to take following steps to control crime in Delhi immediately.

  1. Every case should be registered and after the registration of case the Police Stations should ensure that the accused persons are punished and policemen should also be awarded.
  2. The duties of traffic, investigation and law & order should be separated.
  3. Every police station should have women police officers and the investigation into the case of atrocities against women should be done by the women police officer.
  4. Elected representatives and members of the RWA should be included in the Area Committee and not only the SHO and the members of ruling party.

Addressing Jan Aakrosh Rally organized in Dwarka, Shri Goel said that during the last 14 years of Congress rule Sheila Dikshit’s Government of Delhi has only betrayed the poor people of Delhi. Under the 20-point programme the poor people who were allotted agricultural land and some of them given residential plots besides the allottees of 12.5 yards and 25 yards plots in  rehabilitation colonies have not been given ownership rights. These allottees should be given free hold rights immediately. Goel further said that when BJP will come to power it will regularize the unauthorized colonies and provide the facility of registry and loan besides other amenities.
Shri Goel also assured that the Lal Dora area of the villages will be extended, problems of water, sewer, roads will resolved and the villagers shall be provided best amenities. The farmers shall also be allowed to construct houses, schools, dispensary etc. on their land.  He reiterated that after coming to power, BJP will decrease the power tariff in Delhi by 30 percent.
  Addressing the people in the Jan Aakrosh Rally BJP National President Shri Rajnath Singh expressed his concern over the degradation of political standard in the country. He assured the people on this occasion that the flats promised by the Shiela Dixit Government 5 years ago shall be alloted within one month of BJP coming to power in Delhi. He also warned the Congress against fraudulently dragging the name of Former Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee's name into corruption case in JPC and said that BJP will give a fitting reply to it and oppose this move of Government in the public.

Photographs of Today''s Candle March from Talkatora to Home Minister's Residence..



“Dildar Dilli” or “Balatkar Dilli"



·        Ownership rights a must for alotees of plots given under 20-point Programme.
·        Massive rally at Dwarka on power issue on 21 April.


New Delhi; 20 April:  Delhi BJP is organizing a massive rally at Dwarka on 19 April on promise of reducing 30 percent power tariff on voted to power in Delhi.  The issue of rape and atrocities against women will be raised strongly.

President of Delhi BJP Vijay Goel today declared that this rally would be addressed by the National BJP President Shri Rajnath Singh and leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha Shri Arun Jaitley.

This rally is primarily to highlight the betrayal tendency of congress government for decades starting from the allotees of the 20-point Programme who have not yet given the ownership rights to their plots and houses even after decades of allotment.

Landless people were given one-acre land each for agriculture and plots on a lease of 15 years but they have still not been given the ownership rights of this land. In year, 1974 and 1985 poor took over these barren lands and converted them into tillable and fertile agriculture land but all their toil is going down the drain since in no land records declaring their ownership is there.

There are 40-50 thousand people in Delhi who were given residential plots on a lease of 15 years under the 20-point program. Extension of these leases has still not taken place and the biggest worry to these people is that these leases might be terminated any moment by the government and they will be homeless once again.

In the Delhi government gazette of 2011 it has been clearly mentioned that due to the lack of facilities there has been a 55 percent reduction in agricultural output.

In case of rehabilitation colonies people were removed from slums and were given 12.5 yards and 25 yards plots but they too are still without ownership rights to these plots.

In case of unauthorized colonies, they are misled and betrayed time and again by promise of complete regularization but they too are in dark regarding the truthful status of their properties. Promises are made but nothing in writing confirming the developmental status of these colonies has reached the inhabitants.

Goel said that primary demand of  removal of section 81, 65A and 33 under the 1954 act should be abolished and that villagers should be allowed to construct godowns, schools etc on these lands. Even the demarcation and consolidation of village land records has  taken place.


Friday 19 April 2013



 New Delhi, 9th April.  Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel paid visit to a 5-year-old rape victim at Swami Dayanand Hospital, Dilshad Garden. Mr Goel demanded strict punishment for the culprits and assured of extending all possible help to victim’s parents.
        Mr. Goel said that with increase in crimes in Delhi, the law and order situation has deteriorated drastically. In wake of this heinous incident, Lotus Youth Power has cancelled tomorrow’s cultural program in solidarity with the victim and her family. And for the same Mr. Goel will lead a candle light march tomorrow at 5 PM towards India Gate along with Delhi’s youth.

This is not “Dildar Dilli”, rather “Balatkar Dilli" – Vijay Goel



New Delhi, 19th April.  Delhi has become unsafe for the women. During the last 14 years of Congress rule, mothers, daughters and sisters do not find themselves safe in Delhi. Incidents of rape and molestation of girls, women are happening almost every day.
            Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit has termed ‘Dildar Dilli’ but this is not Dildar rather ‘Balatkar Dilli’. In place of taking concrete steps, Chief Minister is shirking her responsibility by saying to the people that even my daughter is not safe in Delhi.

            The way in which a five year old girl was kidnapped in East Delhi’s Gandhi Nagar and raped by her neighbor and the negligent attitude of the police in registering the case and also in trying to suppress it is very much condemnable.

            In South Delhi area, three men committed gang rape of a nineteen year old Nepali’s young girl and abandoned her near Moti Bagh. Similarly, in Najafgarh area also two and a half year old girl was raped. In view of all these incidents is not it Balatkar Dilli.

            BJP Delhi Pradesh President Shri Vijay Goel has said that a delegation of BJP will soon meet the Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on the issue of law and order in Delhi and the safety of human, if appointment for the meeting is given by him.

            In place of accusing others, Chief Minister of Delhi should state that what steps she has taken for the safety of women. Even the foreign tourists visiting her country are advised that they should not go out of their hotels after 6.00 pm in Delhi. One can easily imagine that this has maligned the image of the country and Delhi. Instead of improving the law and order, the Chief Minister is advising the women that they should not go out late in the night. The Chief Minister should take concrete steps to erase fear out of the mind of the people in place of issuing statements and accusing others.

Vijay Goel expresses grief & anguish over fire at Bawana Slums. Demands free insurance coverage for all the victims.

-        Rajiv Ratan Yojna failed to provide houses to the poor but now free insurance is a must.
-        Goel also demands monetary compensation to the victims of fire.

New Delhi; 12 April 2013- Delhi BJP President Vijay Goel today expressed anguish and grief at the massive fire at Bawana slums cluster. He said that the Delhi government should provide free insurance coverage to all the slum dwellers since this should be the minimum Delhi government can do.

Goel said that due to total neglect and lack of even basic facilities, slums in Delhi have to face tragedies like fire as an annual recurrence. Without properly constructed hutments, people are at a constant threat of life and material. He said that it becomes the moral duty of Delhi government to provide free insurance to all the slum dwellers across the city as it was the Delhi government which had betrayed slum dwellers by not providing them with houses under the Rajiv Ratan Yojna and promised them a slum free Delhi just before the last assembly elections.

Even under the JNNURM, where more than 60 thousand houses were to be given, only 189 have been handed over so far.

Even todat the Delhi government doesn’t has any comprehensive plan for development of these slums and till that time free insurance becomes a necessity to lakhs of such dwellers.

Goel said that he will be talking to the insurance companies to ask about the lowest premium insurance for slum dwellers and so that they can be insured. Describing his anguish & grief as at something which could have been avoided he said that during the last ten years such mishaps have recurred time and again and every time the government has failed to give any proper explanation and reasoning. The government has totally failed to rehabilitate the slum dwellers leave alone any future planning for them and compensation. He demanded the Government to provide sufficient monetary compensation to the victims of fire immediately.

Addressing a huge public gathering of thousands at Yamuna Sports complex in Surajmal Vihar of East Delhi Goel yet again reiterated that if voted to power in Delhi BJP government will reduce the tariffs by up to 30%. Discoms have yet again decided to demand increased tariffs by between 1.6 to 6.1 percent. If government this time succumbs to the pressure tactics of discoms BJP will call a rally of lakhs of people at Ramlila Maidan followed by an extensive agitation.
