Ajay Maken slams AAP calling it ‘Khap party’, claims Kejriwal govt failed on all fronts in 3 years

Date:

The Congress on Wednesday slammed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) describing it as “Khap party” and criticized the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government for failing on all fronts in the last three years.

Delhi Congress chief Ajay Maken accused Kejriwal of not accomplishing any of his poll promises that he had made during the assembly elections.

He also chided Delhi Chief Minister for not bringing a strict Lokpal Bill. Maken said, “In 2014 when they got 28 seats, they resigned within 49 days alleging the Congress and the BJP were not allowing them to bring proper Lokpal.”

“But when they again came back in 2015 with 67 seats, they brought a different Lokpal instead of strict Lokpal,” he said.

Maken along with former Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit compared the work of the Congress government and the AAP government in the city.

The former Union Minister cited the improvement in the health sector that Sheila Dikshit government had brought. “During Sheila Dikshit’s government, Delhi got 14 hospitals and over 3,700 new beds were added,” he said.

“But during the last three years, not a single new hospital has come up,” he added.

Comparing the accomplishment the two governments had attained in the education sector, Maken said, “The Congress government during its regime opened six new university and deemed universities each, 22 general education colleges and 20 professional education colleges.”

“Five ITIs and 54 ITCs were also opened during our government,” he said.

“But under Kejriwal government, not a single new college or university came up in the city. Even the drop out rate of students in the government schools has gone up,” he said.

The Congress leader also scrutinized Kejriwal citing the circumstance of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) and said, “In the last three years, the Kejriwal government has bought only one new bus. Even the total number of DTC buses in the fleet has gone down”

Hitting out at the AAP government over the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation projects’ delay, he said, “For the first time in the history of Delhi, the work on DMRC project has been delayed by two years.”

“During our government, 192 km of metro line, 141 metro stations, seven interchange stations were built in record time. The Congress government even brought 216 metro train sets for the people of Delhi,” Maken added.
