The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday organised a ‘Vikas Yatra’ in all the 70 Assembly constituencies of Delhi in its bid to reach out to the citizens of Delhi with the accomplishments of the Delhi Government and the “good work” done by it since last three years of its rule. The AAP Government completes three years in power on February 14.
Delhi Cabinet Ministers, including Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and MLAs interacted with the people in their respective constituencies and apprised them of the works done by the AAP dispensation in the last three years.
The move comes at a time when the party is facing possible bypolls following the disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs in alleged office-of-profit case. While interacting with people in his New Delhi constituency, Kejriwal said that he would meet people from Monday to Friday at 10 am at his residence without appointment.
“The Government is going to start ‘doorstep delivery of services’ through which people will be able to get various services like birth certificate, income certificate at their doorstep. Similarly, we will also provide ration at the doorstep of ration card holders,” said Kejriwal.
The Chief Minister said that the AAP Government is facing a lot of problems, but despite this, it has done a good job.
“Have faith in us. So far, we have done half of work we could have done in the last three years because they are creating hurdles in our every file, but God is with us as we are moving on the path of truth,” he said.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, however, could not participate in the ‘Vikas Yatra’ as he is outside the country. Rural Development Minister Gopal Rai also organised a ‘Vikas Yatra’ and apprised people in Babarpur constituency about works which have been done by the AAP Government in the last three years.
Other Cabinet ministers in the Aam Aadmi Party Government, including Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot and Social Welfare Minister Rajender Pal Gautam, also interacted with people during the rally.
Last week, Rai had said that the AAP Government has not only provided round-the-clock electricity but has also dramatically reduced electricity charges, wherein the rate for consumption of below 400 units was slashed by half. By providing free water for those whose consumption is less than 20,000 litres, the Government has not only made water free for the poor, but also reduced water consumption, he had said.
