Delhi Assembly Elections 2020| AAP’s guarantee card a proof of its failure: Vijay Goel
The “guarantee card” released Sunday, promised that the government’s flagship schemes — on water, electricity and bus rides — will continue if AAP is re-elected.
BJP Rajya Sabha member Vijay Goel on Monday termed the AAP’s “guarantee card” a “failure card” of the state government. He also challenged chief minister Arvind Kejriwal to show any work he did for controlling pollution in Delhi.
The “guarantee card” released Sunday, promised that the government’s flagship schemes — on water, electricity and bus rides — will continue if AAP is re-elected. Kejriwal had also made new announcements such as reducing pollution to a third, deploying “mohalla marshals” in residential areas and free bus rides for students.
“The most important issue is of potable drinking water, which Kejriwal could not supply in five years. In real sense, these guarantees are the failures of the AAP. ‘Har Ghar Nal Se Shuddh Jal’ is the scheme of central government which will be implemented in Delhi, but Kejriwal has included this in his 10 guarantees,” Goel alleged.
On pollution, Goel challenged Kejriwal to show any work done to control pollution. “The Bureau of Indian Standards report revealed that water in Delhi is the most polluted out of the samples taken from 21 big cities. A number of complaints have been filed by the people on it,” the BJP leader said.
Goel said Kejriwal could not procure more than 100 buses .
On the issue of education sector, Goel said that out of 918 posts of principals, 600 posts were vacant and 10,000 posts of teachers were yet to be filled.
The AAP did not respond to the allegations.
