Kejriwal has kept Delhiites away from Central schemes, says BJP

Monday, 19 February 2024 | Staff Reporter | New Delhi

Delhi Assembly Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri launched a scathing attack on the Kejriwal Government for not implementing the welfare schemes of the Centre.  Speaking on the proposal presented by Home Minister Amit Shah in BJP national convention ‘BJP is the country’s hope’, he said the people of the entire country are taking advantage of the welfare schemes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government, but Arvind Kejriwal’s Delhi Government is depriving the people of the benefits of those schemes due to narrow politics. Be it the Ayushman Bharat scheme in which the poor get free treatment up to Rs 5 lakh, or the PM Vishwakarma scheme in which manual workers such as tailors, potters, blacksmiths, cobblers, barbers and masons etc. are given free loan up to Rs 3 lakh, the people of Delhi are not availing the benefits of the schemes, he said.

Bidhuri  said under the PM Awas Yojana, 4 crore were being provided houses across the country, whereas lakhs of people in Delhi do not have a roof over their heads. Similarly, he said, the farmers of Delhi are deprived of the benefits of the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi scheme or the subsidy scheme on agricultural equipment.

Bidhuri thanked Prime Minister Modi for the projects worth crores of rupees given to beautify the capital Delhi. He requested the Central Government to investigate the scams worth thousands of crores of rupees committed by the Aam Aadmi Party government of Delhi and provide justice to the people.

Bidhuri , speaking in the presence of Prime Minister Modi, said that on one hand the Kejriwal government has committed scams worth thousands of crores of rupees which include liquor scam, jal board scam, Sheeshmahal scam, DTC scam etc., on the other hand Modi government by giving projects worth crores of rupees to Delhi is making people’s lives easier and simpler. These include National War Memorial, Police War Memorial, Police Headquarters, Kartavya Path, world’s largest eco park, third ring road, highways , flyovers, underpasses and one and a half km Tunnel worth Rs 75 thousand crore are also included.

He said we also thank the prime minister on behalf of people of Delhi for providing free ration every month to 73 thousand poor people of Delhi, help of Rs 10,000 for the rehabilitation of street vendors, cooking gas connections to thousands of women under Ujjwala scheme and ownership rights of their houses to lakhs of people living in the slums of Delhi.
