Congress candidate from North-West Delhi parliamentary constituency, Krishna Tirath, on Thursday appealed to the people to cast their ballot for the right candidate on the basis of development. Focussing on development and commitment for women safety, farmer issues and water and power crises, Tirath urged people to elect her for carrying ongoing developmental projects in the region. Tirath started a roadshow from Manglopuri area.
During her campaign, she interacted with the women, talked about their problems and assured them of a solution. While talking to the voters, she promised them to improve public transport system, provide clean water and other civic amenities if she wins the election this time. “During my two terms as MP, I have worked for development of the region. I have made efforts to provide clean water to every household,” said Tirath, during her campaign, adding, “I have upgraded hospitals and constructed chaupals, hospitals, maternity hospitals and community centres. We spent `400 crore on constructing roads and another `200 crore on roads in areas where they never existed like Nangloi to Najafgarh.”
Tirath further said that the Manmohan Singh-led UPA Government had done good work but the Opposition candidates were misleading the people by deflecting attention from real issues. “People of the constituency have always supported me and hopefully they will elect me a third time. I am happy with the support of the people and I am confident of my victory. If I retain the seat again, I will give my best to develop the region,” she said, adding, “The Metro has come till Mundka. Now we want to extend the line going from Siraspur village till Narela. It was halted in between because of some issue with farmers’ land for which they are being compensated. In Rohini’s Sectors 1-40, we plan to have more schools, dispensaries, hospitals, community centres, parks and religious centres. Pipelines have been laid in Kirari and a reservoir made for increased water supply.”
