Terming the Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal’s speech in the house as “Bundle of lies and tale of broken promises’’, Leader of Opposition (LoP) Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said no amount of showcasing can hide the failure of the Kejriwal Government. Speaking on the commencement of the Budget session of Delhi Assembly, Bidhuri said the L-G Baijal was obliged under the Constitutional norms to read out whatever the Government puts in the address, but the Kejriwal Government has been an abject failure.
“Delhi Government had failed to tackle the Corona outbreak in the Capital and it was only after the intervention of Central government under the leadership of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, and Union Home Minister, Amit Shah that measures were taken to bring the situation under control.
“It is the PM and the Home Minister who deserve all the praise and appreciation for saving the people of Delhi from a major outbreak of Corona. But the L-G’ address failed to make any mention of this thing which was unfortunate,’’ Bidhuri said.
“Kejriwal Governent rule for the past six years, the L-G’s address had become a routine affair and promises made on paper just to be broken. The promises made in the last year’s address of the Lt-Governor had remained unfulfilled. Rs Rs The Kejriwal Governor has in the last six years not been able to purchase even a single DTC bus, open any new school or college, new hospitals, construct new flyovers. Instead, Delhi has earned the dubious distinction of being the most polluted city in the world. This indeed has been the Rs Rs biggest achievement’’ of the Delhi Government,’’ he added.
Reminding the Kejriwal Government of the massive help and assistance provided by the Central Government, he said massive supply of PPE kits, ventilators, air lifting of medical staff for Delhi, 20,000 bed hospital creation including ICU units and constant monitoring of the situation was done by the Modi Government.
The Delhi High Court had made some very adverse remarks against the Delhi Government on the functioning of the hospitals and the fatalities due to negligence of the authorities in the Corona situation.
“The much-applauded healthcare facilities of the Delhi Government stood exposed during the Corona virus outbreak and had it not been the central government, things would have been terrible,’’ he added.
