Newly elected BJP MLA from Rohini Assembly and former Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta on Wednesday said after the formation of the BJP government in Delhi, the Sixth Delhi Finance Commission (DFC) will be constituted soon.
He emphasised that the formation of this commission is crucial for the financial management of development projects undertaken by the municipal corporations. Since the BJP government is committed to the development of Delhi, the announcement of its formation will be made without any delay.
Gupta revealed that on August 30 last year, BJP MLAs had met with the President to lodge a complaint regarding the constitutional violations being committed by the Delhi government. Additionally, BJP legislators had also filed a petition in the High Court over this issue.
He criticised the Aam Aadmi Party government for failing to recognise the seriousness of the Finance Commission. The delay in its formation since April 2021 is a grave violation of Articles 243-I and 243-Y of the Indian Constitution.
This has severely impacted financial planning and resource allocation for Delhi, particularly affecting the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD). Essential public services, including road maintenance, sanitation, park upkeep, and sewer management-have all suffered due to this neglect.
Reassuring the people of Delhi, Gupta said the BJP government will systematically address the damage caused by AAP's decade-long misgovernance. That is why all public welfare and development projects have been placed on the priority list. Roads, electricity, water, and sanitation will be given top priority, and in the very first cabinet meeting of the new BJP government, crucial decisions regarding these projects will be taken.
Additionally, the BJP government is committed to presenting the 14 Comptroller and Auditor General reports, which have been pending for the past five years, in the first session of the Assembly.
Reiterating his stance, he assured that public welfare issues will not be neglected. The BJP government will make every effort to implement all the promises made in its election manifesto at the earliest. Since these promises were presented to the people as "Modi's Guarantee," the BJP's double-engine government in Delhi will remain dedicated to fulfilling them and upholding its commitment to the public.
