What is the first thing you intend to do if you win from Rajinder NagarIJ
My Assembly lacks public conveniences and that will be my first priority. Kathputli Colony, which is the biggest slum in the Capital, does not have a single public toilet. Women have to go in the open. It’s a shame that this section of the constituency has remained neglected for years.
Rajinder Nagar constituency is a densely populated area and people have diverse issues. What are you going to address and howIJ
Besides public toilets, the major problem this area faces is non availaibility of drinking water. Sitting MlA from the area was also the vice-chairman of Delhi Jal Board for two years but he failed to fulfil the basic necessity of clean water here. We are working on a scheme to provide 20 litres of potable drinking water to all residents at Rs 10. Besides, women’s safety is a glaring lapse. We will deploy 700 women decoys in the area under Delhi Women Welfare Department to clamp down on eveteasing.
What’s your take on the AAP that is making its debutIJ
I don’t have anything to say about them. The candidate Vijender Garg was a Congress worker earlier. The AAP contradicted itself by taking a person who they once alleged to be corrupt when he was in Congress.
