Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Vijendra Gupta on Sunday claimed AAP convener and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has misled the people as he has not vacated his sheeshmahal at a 'Thank You Modiji' rally in Burari. According to Gupta, most of the belongings of Kejriwal are still in the bungalow.
Calling AAP supremo a 'great dramabaaz', he said that lies, hypocrisy and ostentation are in every vein of AAP. “Arvind Kejriwal has not yet vacated his old official residence. In the name of giving proof of his honesty to the people, he did a drama of sending small items in two small tipper trucks to his new house whereas the reality is something else. Most of his belongings are still kept in this Sheeshmahal,” Gupta alleged.
He claimed that even the keys of the house were not handed over to the PWD officials and 'No Due Certificates' of electricity, water and phone were not submitted. “Whereas as per the rules, all these things have to be handed over to the concerned officials along with the keys before vacating the government house,” the Delhi BJP MLA claimed.
Meanwhile, Delhi BJP leaders lauded the prime minister for the decisions to resume mutation of properties and doing away with mandatory no objection certificates for power connections in some areas in the city.
The party leaders, including Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva, said that it was a Diwali gift for the people living in the villages and unauthorised colonies. Sachdeva in his address slammed the AAP and its chief Arvind Kejriwal, alleging widespread corruption during 10 years of the party's rule in Delhi. "I want to thank PM Modi because with his blessings, Delhi BJP has become successful in solving two problems of unauthorised colonies," he said.
Sachdeva said that due to the mutation, the elders were not able to give their properties to their children. "The government of Arvind Kejriwal was not letting it happen. We were requesting for it, the restriction of mutation has been withdrawn. The DDA's NOC used to be asked for electricity connection in unauthorised colonies, in its guise, the AAP MLAs used to force people to buy electricity at Rs 20-25 per unit, the compulsion has been removed," he added.
The rally held at Mukundpur Chowk in Burari in north east Delhi was addressed by top Delhi BJP leaders, including party MPs Manoj Tiwari, Ramvir Singh Bidhuri, Yogendra Chandolia, Praveen Khandelwal and Bansuri Swaraj.
Swaraj said that it was from Burari that the 'Pandavas' laid the foundation of Indraprastha and now the BJP is laying the foundation for victory in the Delhi Assembly polls due in February next year. Khandelwal attacked Kejriwal and stated that the “Janata Adalat” is a certificate of the failures of AAP government over the past ten years.
“The so-called Adalat is being conducted in the name of listening to public issues and providing solutions, but in reality, it is nothing more than pure political drama,” he alleged.
Recently, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) after Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena's intervention, allowed city discoms to approve new electricity connections in urbanised villages, colonies regularised by the MCD, and godowns, factories in non conforming industrial areas, without seeking its no objection certificates.
In another decision by the LG, mutation of land property in the villages was resumed. These decisions resulted after a delegation of BJP MPs met Saxena.
