The lieutenant-Governor’s address to the Delhi legislative Assembly on Monday drew criticism from the Opposition BJP which termed it ‘disappointing’ and ‘lacking in vision’.
leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly, Harsh Vardhan said the l-G’s speech, which lists Government’s plans and course of action, had no mention of the measures to curb corruption, price rise and crime against women. Vardhan accused the AAP Government of being hand-in-glove with the Congress and alleged that it was trying to shield the Congress leaders indulged in widespread loot of public exchequer.
“The lieutenant Governor has neither mentioned the measures to tackle corruption nor has he fixed a time frame for the same. The AAP is betraying the trust of the people which they had shown in the party. The false promises made before the elections are falling flat,” Vardhan alleged. “It is strange that the party that came to power on the anti-corruption and anti-Congress plank is now trying to shield the Congress leaders. The AAP had promises to put Congress leaders behind bars on coming to power but now the party has entered into an alliance with the Congress,” he said.
The BJP leader also criticised the Government over the issues of price rise, women security and increasing fuel prices.
