New Delhi, Nov 25 (IANS) Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva on Tuesday said the Rekha Gupta government is committed to providing monthly allowance to women and all eligible beneficiaries in the city will soon start receiving it.
He said that a committee constituted for this purpose is working rapidly and the rules for availing the allowance for women will be announced soon.
The Delhi BJP president said that within just nine months, the BJP has earned huge credibility in Delhi by taking commendable steps like waiving surcharge on water bills, providing GST refunds, introducing new DTC buses and reforming the pink ticket scheme, building more than 75 Arogya Swasthya Mandirs and increasing the number of old age assistance pensions.
He said, “Women are confident that they will soon start receiving women’s allowance.”
Sachdeva said that Congress has become irrelevant in the politics of Delhi and the country.
In the MCD by-elections to be held on November 30, the entire campaign of Congress is limited to press conferences only and most of the Congress candidates are not visible even at the ward level.
The Delhi Congress President’s press conference calling BJP’s promise of giving women allowance a joke is just an attempt to appear relevant, but it will not help him in the elections.
He said, “The women of Delhi know very well that the BJP is committed to giving allowances to women and making Rekha Gupta the Chief Minister and fielding women candidates in 8 out of 12 wards in the current by-election is proof of this.”
In a separate development, the Delhi BJP said that although the pollution situation in the city is undoubtedly in an unsatisfactory state, it is to some extent the result of the criminal negligence of the 11-year-old Arvind Kejriwal government in not taking appropriate steps to control pollution.
Spokespersons Anil Gupta and Neoma Gupta said that the pollution situation in Delhi is somewhat better than in previous years, but a lot of work still remains to be done to improve it.
BJP spokespersons said that AAP Delhi President Saurabh Bhardwaj continuously makes baseless allegations against the Delhi government, which is condemnable.
The body that tests and reports on AQI is an independent body and by repeatedly blaming it, AAP leaders are only furthering their dirty politics, which they continue by playing with the impartiality of the Election Commission.
