The BJP on Tuesday condemned the Arvind Kejriwal government’s ministers for the preparations being made by the central government for the G-20 in the national capital. The party said it is shameful to see them trying to seek credit for work being done by the Union government with detailed facts. Delhi Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, however claimed that the whole national capital's decor and beautification has been done by the AAP-led government's funds and “taxpayers' money”.and the central government did not provide even a single penny.
Addressing a press conference, Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva and the Leader of Opposition Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said that the character of AAP is shameless and its ministers are taking the credit for the beautification of Delhi by making statements with the same shamelessness. “Organizations looking after beautification work in Delhi are NDMC, ITPO, D.DA., Indian Airforce, Delhi International Airport Limited, Delhi Police, M.E.A. MHA etc. All the departments are centrally governed. Giving detailed information about the routes on which work has been done, he said that Raj Ghat, Delhi Gate, ITO, Pragati Maidan, Bharat Mandapam, India Gate, Khan Market, Malcha Marg, Akbar Road, many important places of Lutyens' Zone, from Dhaula Kuan to Airport, Palam Airport etc., was personally visited by the Lt. Governor to ensure the timely completion of projects. “There are total 61 roads where beautification works are being done out of which 36 are under NDMC area. 5 roads of South-East, 6 of South Delhi, 5 of Central, 3 of Shahdara, 2 of South-West and 4 of East Delhi have been identified for beautification,” he added. Sachdeva said that the LG has shown his readiness by walking a total of 351 kilometers for inspection in 216 hours of work, but on the contrary, if Arvind Kejriwal or any of his ministers has made a single inspection tour, then they should tell.
Earlier, Delhi minister Saurabh Bharadwaj claimed said that the whole national capital's decor and beautification has been done by the AAP-led government's funds and “taxpayers' money”. He further stated that the BJP was showing its “shallow politics” by talking about the funding. The AAP leader said, “BJP has reflected its shallow politics by talking about funds. We didn't talk about funds.”
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Bharadwaj said, “Delhi is completely ready to welcome guests. Delhi has been beautified. All the major routes are being cleaned, repaired and resurfaced. Walking and cycling tracks have also been created separately. Trees and flower pots are being used.”
