As the Arvind Kejriwal Government will complete one month in office on Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday held a review meeting with his six Cabinet colleagues and discussed the achievements of their departments. The AAP Government has prepared a report card of each Minister.
Insiders say that the AAP Government has patted its back on its achievements, especially to provide 50 per cent power subsidy to consumers and 667 litres free water to people of Delhi, to put a halt to the removal of temporary employees working in various departments till the process of recruitment based on new criteria is not completed and banning demolition in unauthorised colonies and slum clusters.
Besides revamp of the anti-corruption helpline, increasing beds of Ambedkar Nagar Hospital was also the part of its achievement list. “Water and power has been the focus, but there have been several other initiatives the Government had taken in the past month. We have also started work on building 2 lakh toilets in the city and giving freehold rights to resettlement colonies,” said a Delhi Minister.
“After assuming power in Delhi, the Government has immediately issued order to ban demolition in unauthorised colonies, slum clusters and also issued order not to terminate any contractual employees of Delhi Government till their recruitment process is finalised,” he added.
The Kejriwal Government has distributed its 70-point agenda to all Secretaries and Principal Secretaries and directed them prepare their plan according to their agenda.
