CONGRESS DOES NOT BELIEVE IN CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS – DR. HARSH VARDHAN

Dr. Harsh Vardhan has said that the Congress Party and Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit do not believe in Constitutional Institutions.  This is the reason why Congress has not promised about making the institution of Lokayukta a powerful body in its Election Manifesto.

He said that from the very beginning, the Congress has been a party which believes in dictatorship. Hence in the year 1975, the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi imposed emergency on the country against the public opinion. She had to pay for it by losing the elections.  Similarly, after ruling Delhi for the last 15 years, Smt. Sheila Dikshit has become despotic and anti people. She will also have to pay for it in the Assembly Election.  The people of Delhi have made up their mind to dislodge the Congress Government of Delhi and help in forming BJP Government under the leadership of Dr. Harsh Vardhan.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan further said that on the eve of every election, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit makes long promises to the people of the Delhi for securing their votes and after that she does not go before the people. The proof of this fact is that there are hundreds of Jhuggies behind the residence of Rahul Gandhi, 12-Tughlak Lane where the lights of development have not reached. On the other hand Smt. Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Manmohan Singh and Sheila Dikshit are continuously making promises to the people that they will turn Delhi into heaven.

He has appealed the people that this time they should make final decision. Such opportunity does not come again and again. They should help in forming BJP Government under the leadership of Shri Narender Modi at Centre and BJP Government in Delhi so that the country and Delhi may make rapid progress. Corruption, price rise, unemployment and poverty may be eliminated. Dr. Harsh Vardhan has claimed that he will decrease the prices of vegetables, fruits and food grains within 20 days of coming to power.

Goel files complaint with EC against malicious campaign of Congress against Shri Narendra Modi

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party President Shri Vijay Goel today slammed the Congress government in Delhi for its failure to stop discrimination against people from North Eastern states living in Delhi. The BJP will open “facilitation Centres”and set up a help line for the people from north eastern centres and ensure that there is no discrimination against them especially by the law enforcing agencies.

Addressing a meeting of people from north-eastern states today he said, “More than two lakh people from north- eastern states, of whom around 50% are females, live in the Capital. A large number of them are youth and they face discrimination, lack of opportunities and poor hostel facilities. The BJP will open more hostels for students and especially for working women from the north-east.”

Quoting a report 'North East Migration and Challenges in National Capital.”  Shri Goel said that according to this report 78% of the North-East population in Delhi is subject to several kinds of humiliation because of their appearance. This is a cause of grave concern.  There seems to be no visible action on the ground by Congress government to deal with this situation.

The BJP will ensure that there is a quick response mechanism to deal with any complaint filed by people from the north-eastern states. Law enforcing agencies will be sensitised too. “It doesn’t reflect well on the capital of the country if we can’t make our fellow citizens from north-eastern states safe in the capital.”

BJP’s complaint to EC  against Congress about malicious pamphlets targeting Sh. Narendra Modi

Meanwhile Shri Vijay Goel today filed a complaint against Congress Party for running a malicious campaign against BJP’s prime Ministerial Candidate Shri Narendra Modi. In his complaint, Shri Goel said, “On the morning of 23 November, the BJP woekers came across pamphlets that were inserted in Newspapers all over the city carrying objectionable indirect references to BJP’s prime Ministerial Candidate Shri Narendra Modi. It may be emphasized here that Shri Modi was scheduled to addressed a public rally at Dwarka in Delhi on the evening of October 23.

A similar malicious campaign was launched on the morning of 29 September also   when illegal hoardings and full page pamphlets were distributed along with newspapers.

We clearly suspect that this malicious campaign making personal attacks is being carried by Congress Party. This, clearly, is a gross violation of the model code of conduct by Congress.” Shri Goel urged the EC to take strong action and put an end to such campaign which also violates the basic norms of democracy. He further added that the growing popularity of Shri Modi and the marginalisation of Congress in the run-up to Delhi polls has resulted in Congress making such desperate overtures which are deplorable.”

Congress’ double speak on full-statehood issue:

Shri Vijay Goel lambasted the Congress Chief Minister Smt. Sheila Dikshit for her double speak on “full statehood” issue. The CM  made it clear by talking about “single command” yesterday that it is not in favour of full statehood for Delhi but the BJP rejects completely as it is in favour of no less than ‘full statehood” for Delhi, said Shri Goel.

“It is a classic case of Congress’ doublespeak where it says one things in manifesto while its leaders take an opposite stand. This clearly shows that Congress is not at all sincere about getting Delhi full statehood.” The 15 year rule of Congress witnessed not even a single serious move by the Congress government in Delhi or the Congress led UPA government at Centre to grant full statehood for Delhi. When BJP led NDA government tried to give full statehood to Delhi through a bill in 2003, the Congress government in Delhi had opposed it, said Shri Goel.

Congress stooped to new low fearing success of Modi rally at Dwarka: Goel

                Congress stooped to new low fearing success of Modi rally at Dwarka: Goel

·        Personal smear campaign against Modi unacceptable: Goel

·        Dwarka faces acute water problem due to Delhi Govt's mismanagement

  
Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel today lashed out at the Congress party for stooping to a new low by running personal campaign against BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Shri Narendra Modi. Pamphlets targeting Shri Modi personally were inserted in today's newspapers which is highly deplorable.

He said that this is an act of desperation by the Congress and it only reflects Congress’ frustration at the growing popularity and mass appeal of Shri Modi. 

Shri Goel said, “The Congress party knows that it has lost political ground in Delhi and elsewhere. So it  has stooped to a new low in electoral politics by trying to tarnish image of Sh. Modi.”

“The fact that Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party have resorted to similar smear campaigns against BJP leaders is another proof that they are working hand in glove. But, they must remember that spreading false personal propaganda against their political opponents is not good for democracy and electoral politics.

Delhi has maintained a standard of electoral politics over the years but Congress and AAP have broken all norms of decency in desperation,” Shri Goel said.

Highlighting the failures of the Congress government at the rally at Dwarka, Sector-14, DDA Park today, Shri Goel said, “Dwarka sub-city has severe shortage of water supply as the Congress government has paid no attention to the pressing demands of the people.”

In the last 15 years of its misrule, the Congress has only managed to deliver unprecedented rise in prices, acute water and power problems, corruption in the rank and file of government and a highly unsafe Delhi for women.

Shri Goel further said, “Almost half of Delhi does not get clean drinking water from the Delhi Jal Board. Over 40% of Delhi has no access to sewage. "

The Delhi BJP is geared up to organize a series of public rallies to be addressed by Sh. Narendra Modi on November 30 and December 1. The focus of these rallies will be to highlight Delhi BJP's positive agenda for the city and expose the misrule of the Congress.

The Delhi BJP today released its first local manifesto for the Delhi Assembly polls for Model Town constituency. It was released by Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel and party’s Chief Ministerial candidate Dr. Harsh Vardhan at the Delhi BJP headquarters at Pt Pant Marg. Delhi BJP Treasurer and party’s candidate from Model Town constituency, Shri Ashok Goel was present at the release of the manifesto.

Speaking on the occasion Shri Vijay Goel said, “BJP is releasing local manifestos for assembly constituencies to fix constituency specific accountability. People want local area development programmes and local manifestos spell out such specific programmes. Local manifesto for Model Town addresses the issues concerning the people of the constituency and BJP’s promise to address these issues. Similar manifestos, prepared by respective party candidates for other assembly segments will be released in days to come.”

Shri Vijay Goel further said, “The BJP will release its state level manifesto in next couple of days. The state level manifesto has its limitations as it cannot address the specific concerns of all the assembly constituencies. It will reflect the common concerns of all the constituencies and the BJP’s positive agenda to address those concerns to bring Delhi on the path of all round progress.”

BJP candidate from Model Town, Shri Ashok Goel said, “The local manifesto for Model Town has been prepared after extensive parleys held over a series of meetings with the people of the constituency. The inputs from RWAs, traders’ associations and civil societies have been incorporated into the manifesto. This is an output of the collective will of all the communities living in Model Town.”

Shri Ashok Goel further said, “All the promises made in the manifesto will be fulfilled in a time-bound manner. Specific programmes will be implemented in fully transparent manner. All the localities of Model Town will be transformed over the next five years.”

“The November 30 rallies will be held in East Delhi, New Delhi and Chandni Chowk while December 1 rally will be held in Ambedkar Nagar in South Delhi.”

Shri Goel further said, “It was decided in today’s meeting that the BJP will hold these rallies with simplicity incurring minimum of expenses. The issues of price rise, power, water, corruption and safety of women will be main issues, which will be highlighted in the themes and stage backdrops of these rallies.”

 “There is a massive support for the BJP and Shri Narendra Modi in Delhi and the BJP cadres are in upbeat mood. We will surely register a resounding victory in the assembly polls. BJP’s message is straight and simple- ‘Badlenge Dilli, Badlenge Bharat’ ” Shri Goel said.

 Shri Goel has also appointed Dr. Anil Jain and Shri Mahendra Pandey as the two convenors for the rallies.

The BJP will not only expose the misdeeds of the Congress government in Delhi, but also share its positive agenda for Delhi in these rallies, said Sh. Goel after the meeting.

AAP is ‘B’ team of Congress, ditched Anna, misused IAC fund: Goel

AAP is ‘B’ team of Congress, ditched Anna, misused IAC fund: Goel

·        AAP is using huge amount of unaccounted money for poll campaign: Goel

·        AAP should come clean on Anna’s allegations: Goel

New Delhi, November, 19:  Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel today said that the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) is hand in glove with the Congress party. He said that the AAP is using the name of senior leader Anna Hazare for its political campaign even though Anna Hazare has raised objections to it.

Addressing a press conference, Shri Goel said, “We have always maintained Aam Aadmi Party is ‘B’ team of the Congress party. AAP has been working to discredit Anna Hazare, on the lines of the Congress party. Recent developments prove this. Anna Hazare has questioned use of his name for the political campaign of AAP, whose very creation was contested by Anna Hazare.”

Shri Goel said, “The Aam Aadmi Party is trying to mislead the people of Delhi in the garb of fighting corruption and noble ideals of governance. The reality is that AAP is using huge amount of unaccounted money to fund its poll campaign in Delhi. But, it must remember that merely by resorting to rhetoric, it cannot befool the people of Delhi.”

Shri Goel further said, “The actions of several members of the AAP including its convenor Arvind Kejriwal have raised many questions over the very purpose of the party. AAP should come out clean on these questions especially those related to misuse of India Against Corruption fund, receiving illegal donations for the party and projecting Anna Hazare as an associate member of the AAP.”

Jan Manch, formed by the activists of India Against Corruption (and former colleagues of Arvind Kejriwal) has charged Kejriwal with embezzlement of donation money to the tune of Rs 85 lakh collected during Anna Hazare's movement against corruption in Delhi. Now, Anna himself has questioned the misuse of that fund.

AAP calls itself the Aam Aadmi Party, but when it announced candidates, 11 of them turned out to be crorepatis. The list of AAP candidates includes 13 such names, which were part of either Congress or BJP till recently; one each from Janta Dal and CPM while two contested, and won, the last elections as independent candidates. All of them were earlier termed corrupt politicians by the AAP leaders.

BJP’s path-breaking initiative, Delhi Metro faces apathy of Congress govt.: Goel

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party President Shri Vijay Goel today expressed deep concern over the mishandling of Delhi Metro operation with an increasing number of snags, cracking of pillars and growing safety concerns. The commuters often feel harassed with metro trains halting quite often recently. It seems another major initiative taken by the BJP-led NDA government when it started Delhi Metro will lose its purpose if remedial steps are not taken immediately.

Addressing a press conference today Shri Goel said, "The Delhi government has a 50% stake in the DMRC. However there seems to be no action on part of the Delhi government to take corrective measures. The BJP demands a white paper on the present status of the metro with an action plan explaining the road map to resolve issues which may ground metro in the long run."

"The BJP also demands to know what action has been taken to stop frequent halts of metro trains. Whose accountability has been fixed for cracks in pillars and frequent technical faults," he asked.

It may be recalled that the physical construction work on the Delhi Metro started on October 1, 1998 during NDA regime and  thee first line of the Delhi Metro was inaugurated by Atal Behari Vajpayee, the then Prime Minister of India on December 24, 2002.

The DMRC was in fact set up in 1995 at the initiative of the then BJP government in Delhi. Today metro has become the lifeline of Delhi but with the expansion in its operation, the quality of metro services is a grave cause of concern.

Shri Goel said that cracks and faults in Delhi Metro pillars and other structures have been frequently reported.

The DMRC had earlier also rejected previous reports on major faults and cracks on the high-speed Airport Metro Express line in July 2012 and the sagging of Noida City Centre platform.

The cracks on pillars at Noida City Centre were not considered as serious initially. It was only on September 28, following media reports, that the DMRC admitted that there was deflection in one of the cantilever arms of the station that led to the sagging of its platforms.

The trouble-ridden high-speed airport service had to be stopped for six months from July 8, 2012 after the DMRC itself detected major faults on the line. It had initially categorized the problems as "minor", according to an inquiry committee formed by Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD), holding DMRC responsible in its recent report.

Several cracks have appeared on some pillars of the Delhi Metro’s busiest line that carries 800,000 commuters a day between Dwarka and Noida, with experts calling for immediate repairs to avert a disaster.

Adding to the woes the DMRC is facing notice from a consortium of lenders with the Private promoter, Reliance Infrastructure moving out of Delhi Airport Metro Express Link project.

The lenders’ consortium, headed by Axis Bank, has sent recovery notices to both Reliance Infrastructure (promoter of the original concessionaire) and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (which is now operating the Airport Metro link).

Shri Goel said that an audit conducted by the Delhi government's transport department, found that the security at the stations needs to be strengthened further.

Commuters enter the Metro stations with their luggage and can easily ply to the ticket counters without their baggage getting checked. The luggage is scanned only before the commuter goes towards the automatic fare collection gates. Threats loom large over the access points to the Metro stations and the unpaid area of the stations as there are no provisions to secure these areas.

Some recent incidents

October 25, 2013: Hundreds of commuters, including women and elderly, were stuck in a Dwarka-bound Metro train at the Yamuna Bank station for almost an hour following a major technical snag. The evening rush hour and a packed train added to their woes; women and children panicked and some elderly people fell sick because the air-conditioning had stopped working.

October 18, 2013: Thousands of commuters had a harrowing time as the DMRC shut the Noida City Centre metro station for eight hours for repair work. This was the second round of repair work being carried out on the pillar; the first was undertaken from October 12 to October 14.

September, 2013: the Noida City Centre metro station had to be shut down twice due to faults identified in its structure.

On 11 June, 2013:  An eight-compartment train carrying 1,791 passengers was stranded in mid section between Central Secretariat and Udyog Bhavan Metro station, as the emergency brake could not be released after being applied. Thousands of travellers, including women and children had a harrowing time after being stuck inside the train for over an hour.

Zamrudpur Accident: In 2009, eight people died during the construction of the Badarpur line.

Cracks and faults in Delhi Metro pillars and other structures have been frequently reported.

The DMRC had earlier also rejected previous reports on major faults and cracks on the high-speed Airport Metro Express line in July 2012 and the sagging of Noida City Centre platform.

The cracks on pillars at Noida City Centre were not considered as serious initially. It was only on September 28, following media reports, that the DMRC admitted that there was deflection in one of the cantilever arms of the station that led to the sagging of its platforms.

Several cracks have appeared on some pillars of the Delhi Metro’s busiest line that carries 800,000 commuters a day between Dwarka and Noida, with experts calling for immediate repairs to avert a disaster.

Faced with loan exposure to the Delhi Airport Metro Express Link project turning into a non-performing asset, a consortium of lenders has initiated steps for recovery of the dues.

DR. HARSH VARDHAN PAYS OBEISANCE TO THE SETTING SUN AND PRAYS FOR THE WELFARE, PROSPERITY OF THE PEOPLE OF DELHI

DR. HARSH VARDHAN PAYS OBEISANCE TO THE SETTING SUN AND PRAYS FOR THE WELFARE, PROSPERITY OF THE PEOPLE OF DELHI

New Delhi, November 8^th.  Today Delhi Pradesh incharge Shri Nitin Gadkari, Dr. Harsh Vardhan and Pradesh President Shri Vijay Goel joined thousands of Poorvanchalis in paying obeisance to the setting Sun at Yamuna Ghat, ITO, Yamuna Pushta and Yamuna Colony.  

On this occasion the aforesaid leaders prayed to the Sun God for the happiness, good health and welfare of the people of Delhi.  Dr. Harsh Vardhan said that Chhath pooja is the most important festival of 50 lakh Poorvanchalis living in Delhi. This festival gives the message of equality, harmony, discipline and fraternity to the society. This is sacred festival of dedication, discipline, sacrifice and firmness.  This festival enhances our energy of life, moral power and willpower.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan further told that BJP is the only political party which believes in Indian culture, civilization and fraternity. Other parties are busy in splitting the society and by grabbing power by hook or crook, loot the country and weaken the society. This time the people of Delhi have made up their mind to change the society and system through the change of Government in Delhi. He has appealed to all the Poorvanchalis that they should pray to the Sun God for the happiness, prosperity, welfare and development of the society.

Congress govt. forced devotees to brave health risk to celebrate Chhath in dirty Yamuna: Goel

•    Congress govt. forced devotees to brave health risk to celebrate Chhath in dirty Yamuna: Goel
•    BJP will do in 15 months, what Congress did not in 15 years in cleaning Yamuna: Goel
•    Goel takes part in Chhath Puja, reiterates declaring it as public holiday, when BJP is elected to power

 New Delhi, November, 8:   Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel today slammed the Congress government for compelling people of Purvanchal to celebrate Chhath Puja in dirty and extremely polluted Yamuna. He said that people braved the grave health risk in celebrating Chhath Puja due to neglect of the Congress government. Shri Goel took part in the Chhath Puja at ITO ghat of Yamuna.

Shri Goel said, “Lakhs of people throng to Yamuna ghats every year to celebrate Chhath Puja. This does not come uninformed, but the Congress government has always been found lacking in efforts. The government’s neglect has turned Yamuna into a dirty drain and people are forced to take grave health risk to celebrate Chhath Puja when they offer Arghya to sun god for their well being.”

Shri Goel said, “The neglect of Yamuna and proper maintenance of the ghats even during Chhath Puja betrays the inherent bias of the Congress government against the Purvanchali people. Several ministers of the government including the Chief Minister have openly blamed the Purvanchali people to hide their own failures for rising crimes in Delhi.”

“Every year devotees gather at the India Gate for Chhath Puja but it was shocking to see that the authorities prevented people from gathering at the venue this year,” Sh. Goel said.

Shri Goel further said, “The Congress government has neglected Purvanchalis and their cultural identity. Now, by asking some of the leaders to pay lip service regarding concerns of the Purvanchali people, the Congress stands exposed. The BJP will declare Chhath Puja a public holiday, when elected to power.”

Expressing his concern over state of Yamuna, Shri Goel said, “The government has spent more than Rs 2000 crore in the name of Yamuna cleaning but the river has only become unfit even for public activities. When elected to power, the BJP will do in 15 months what the Congress has not done in 15 years. Yamuna cleaning will take effect on the ground as soon as the BJP comes to power.”

In an affidavit to SC in October, 2012, Delhi Jal Board said that approximately Rs. 2072 crore has been spent by the Delhi government and Delhi Jal Board towards controlling and preventing the pollution of river Yamuna. By now, the Yamuna's polluted and black water should have been sparkling clean, as clean as the river's water is at its source. Instead, the 22-km stretch of the river in Delhi has become more polluted. The Congress government has failed to build a separate sewage flow and treatment apparatus.

PRESIDENT SHOULD PASS ORDERS TO PUNISH SHEILA DIKSHIT

Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Vijay Goel, Vijay Kumar Malhotra write letter to the President of India

PRESIDENT SHOULD PASS ORDERS TO PUNISH SHEILA DIKSHIT FOR MISLEADING 50 LAKH RESIDENTS OF UNAUTHORISED COLONIES-BJP

New Delhi, November 7^th.  In a letter written to the President of India, BJP’s Chief Ministerial Candidate Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Pradesh President Vijay Goel, Leader of the Opposition in Delhi Legislative Assembly Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra have demanded that he should direct the Prime Minister and Central Home Ministry to take punitive action against Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for misleading the people.  

In the year 2008 Smt. Dikshit had distributed provisional certificates to 50 lakh residents of unauthorized colonies through the Congress President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi with the assurance of regularization for ensuring victory in the forthcoming elections. Lakhs of rupees were spent by the Government on the advertisement. The Chief Minister and the Government were aware of the fact that the hon’ble Supreme Court has banned the regularization of unauthorized colonies before providing the basic amenities in those colonies. The Government distributed provisional certificates to the colonies which came up on public land, gram sabha land, forest land, ridge area, ASI land, water bodies and the land under notified area only for securing votes.  

Dr. Harsh Vardhan had filed case in the court of the Lokayukta of Delhi against the Chief Minister for misleading the people by misusing her position and influencing the voters and requested the Lokayukta to take action against her. The Lokayukta ordered for enquiry on the complaints of Dr. Harsh Vardhan on 31.8.2010 and the enquiry found that the Chief Minister Sheila Diskhit gave false assurance for securing the votes in Assembly Elections. The Government issued big advertisements in the newspapers and TV channels to mislead the people spending lakhs of rupees.

Just before the Assembly Election in 2008, the Government had issued Provisional Certificates for regularizing the unauthorized colonies. Similarly, on 4^th September, 2012 just before the assembly elections the Delhi Government issued notification separately for amending the rules for regularizing the unauthorized colonies.

The purpose of the Government was to get the votes of about 50 lakh people of unauthorized colonies in favor of the Congress party by misleading them in the elections held in 2008 and to be held on 4^th December, 2013. Taking serious view of the case the Lokayukta on 5.11.2013 held that the issuance of provisional certificates to the colonies was violation of Code of Conduct by the Chief Minister.

On 5.11.2013, Lokayukta found the Chief Minister guilty in this case. The same day he wrote a letter to the President of India Shri Pranab Mukherji requesting that he should caution the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit not to mislead the people in future. It is necessary to mention that the Lokayukta had written a similar letter to the then President of India Pratibha Devi Singh Patil to caution the Chief Minister. But Mrs. Sheila Dikshit did not stop. Smt. Sheila Dikshit issued big advertisements in the media with the photographs of Ministers Raj Kumar Chauhan, A.K. Walia, Yoganand Shahstri, Harun Yousuf, Mangat Ram Singhal and Arvinder Singh Lovely after spending public money.

2.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan has requested the Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and Delhi Government to answer following questions to the people:-

1. Provisional certificates were issued in October, 2008. Assurance was given to regularize the colonies within a year. Chief Minister should state what is the legal sanctity of provisional certificate? If the colonies are being regularized on the basis of Provisional Certificates then why final certificates are not being issued to the residents?

2. When the Supreme Court had given orders to the Government not to regularize the colonies without providing basic amenities then why did the Chief Minister gave illegal assurance of regularizing the unauthorized colonies deliberately?

3. Is not the Congress President Mrs. Sonia Gandhi equally liable for this crime?

4. If the colonies have been regularized then why the registry of the properties has not been started?

5. If the colonies have been regularized then why the employees of revenue department and Delhi Police are recovering money from the residents of the colonies for construction work?

6. If the colonies are regularized then why the Government is not providing sewer, roads, water, power, transport, drainage, education, health facilities, community centre, employment, industries ?

7. Why the DJB is not supplying drinking water to all the unauthorized colonies when the Chairperson of the DJB is the Chief Minister herself?

8. Why Delhi Government treated the unauthorized colonies in step motherly way during the last 15 years? Why this treatment continues even today?

9. Chief Minister should answer, has she regularized the colonies which have come up by grabbing the Gram Sabha Land, Public Land, Forest Land, ASI Land, Water Bodies, Ridge Area, Protected Land. If it has been done then under what law and rules of the country?

10. Had the Congress Government and Chief Minister been serious about regularizing the unauthorized colonies then why they did not go to the Supreme Court for relaxing the ban imposed by it on the regularization of unauthorized colonies 15 years ago in its order on petition number 725/1994 ?

Four lakh first time voters to vote in favour of BJP - Dr. Harsh Vardhan

About 4 lakh youth who have completed 18 years of age and become voters for the first time shall vote in favor of BJP. This has been revealed after door to door contact programme by the party.

Giving this information, the Chief Ministerial candidate of BJP Dr. Harsh Vardhan told that the youth of Delhi are serious about voting and their thinking is development oriented. BJP has found that these people certainly exercise their right of voting.  They know that the Congress is going to be defeated in the next elections. BJP is directly fighting the Congress Party. This fact has come to light after many surveys by the media.

So far 3.76 lakh youth have applied to the Election Commission to be made voters in Delhi.  The number of youth voters is largest in Kirari, Burari, New Delhi, Shalimar Bagh, Rohini, Rithala, Trilokpuri, Patparganj, Karawal Nagar, Sangam Vihar, Delhi Cantt., Sadar Bazar etc ACs. Many people among them have applied online to be made voters.  By tomorrow four lakh youth shall be registered as new voters.

At present 11 lakh youth are unemployed in Delhi. After coming to power, BJP will provide opportunities of employment /self employment so that 22 lakh hands may get right to work and Delhi may shine. BJP will also create employment opportunities for youth, women, young women, housewives. Seats in school and colleges will also be increased. New colleges and schools shall be opened so that all get opportunity of education.  BJP is committed to make Delhi a fully literate state.

Dr. Harsh Vardhan told that the youth above the age of 18 years have raised their voice against the corruption by the Congress.  They are also suffering due to the price spiral affecting their household. The income of the people is stagnant for the last 10 years but the prices of the articles of daily use have increased 50 to 100 times. It has become difficult for the parents to pay the fees of their children. This has adversely affected the thinking of the youth. They are stressed. Hence, the youth have resolved to bring BJP Government in Delhi and end the Congress misrule.
