‘Cong cheating poor with sops’
The BJP accused the Delhi government of cheating the poor and slum dwellers with pre-poll sops.
The BJP said that the new schemes the Delhi government was announcing ahead of Assembly election were just eyewash for the masses, as it had failed to deliver on its earlier promises of providing cheap housing and amenities.
A delegation of Delhi BJP led by state unit president Vijay Goel and comprising mayors of three Municipal Corporations as well as senior party leaders met Lieutenant Governor Najib Jung and handed over a memorandum apprising him about the status of such schemes. Mr Goel said, “The Delhi government has failed to fulfil all its promises, bes it providing homes to slum dwellers, subsidised food through public distribution system, health care facilities or LPG cylinders.”
He further said “Now they are announcing new schemes, which are all keeping the upcoming elections in mind and once the elections are over, nobody would do anything.”
Mr Goel said the LG had assured them that he would look into the matter, especially related to the poor and slum dwellers. State BJP had also put forward its demand that students passing from schools in the national capital should be given a weightage of four per cent in Delhi University colleges.
“The LG’s reply was shocking and also highlights the apathy of the Delhi government towards students of Delhi, when he said that there were 12 colleges which are funded by Delhi government and they can bring such provision but the government is not interested at all,” Mr Goel added.
