Clean-up, graft fight in 10 ‘guarantees’ by AAP
NEW DELHI: Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday promised to make Delhi garbage-free, clean and beautiful, and said corruption will be ended by taking building plan processes online and regularising minor property alterations through one-time penalties and other measures if the Aam Aadmi Party wins the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) polls.
Kejriwal accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of failing to deliver on the promises it made during the 2017 municipal elections and of stalling his government’s projects. He outlined the AAP’S “10 guarantees” ahead of the polls, promising to fix parking problems and stray cattle issues, among others.
Kejriwal pledged to repair Mcd-run roads and revamp civic body-run schools, health care centres, and hospitals. He added that MCD parks will be beautified and all temporary workers will be regularised. Kejriwal promised timely payment of salaries, easy licensing, a conducive atmosphere for trade, and the creation of vending
Simplify building plans, check on corruption
Come up with permanent and practical solutions for parking crisis
Control on population of stray dogs, animals
MCD’S roads and gullies to be repaired, maintained zones. The BJP has controlled municipal corporations in the Capital over 15 years and the AAP is banking on the anti-incumbency factor.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra attacked the AAP over its 10 poll promises, saying: “Those who have warrants issued
MCD parks to get facelift
All of MCD’S contract workers to be regularised
Licensing to be digitised; conversion, parking fees in commercial areas waived off; sealed shops
opened
Legal shape to hawking against them cannot give guarantees. They promised they would not join politics, not take government vehicles and accommodation, stop corruption, but they did just the opposite.”
Delhi BJP’S Election Committee head Ashish Sood said that
