CM Rekha, Sachdeva hold public outreach programme

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva on Thursday held a public outreach programme in the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency. The programme marked the fourth consecutive day of their campaign to showcase the Government’s one-year achievements.

Accompanied by New Delhi MP Bansuri Swaraj, the leaders interacted directly with residents and party workers under the ongoing “Vikas Yatra.” They detailed key development works undertaken by the BJP Government and appealed to workers to take the message of governance and progress to every household.

Addressing the gathering, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that during the rule of the Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party, people had never heard of Rs 100 crore worth of work being carried out in every Assembly constituency. “Today, at least Rs 100 crore worth of work is being executed in each constituency,” she said.

The Chief Minister stressed that her government considers power a medium of service, not enjoyment. She said the BJP returned to power in Delhi after 27 years of struggle and cannot afford to waste time. “We have to fulfil the expectations with which the people have blessed us,” she said. She added that as a “triple-engine Government”, there is no competition for taking credit for development work. Whether funds are allocated to MPs, MLAs or municipal councillors, the results will reach citizens, she said.

The Chief Minister listed major focus areas over the past 365 days, including sewer systems, pipelines, Yamuna cleaning, pollution control, roads and transport infrastructure. She said work is underway on 40-foot overbridges and several flyovers and promised a visible transformation every year.

The Chief Minister informed that nine Atal Canteens have been established in the New Delhi Lok Sabha constituency.

To strengthen infrastructure, development projects worth approximately `135 crore are underway in the Moti Nagar Assembly constituency, including the construction of a foot overbridge at Kirti Nagar and a bridge over the Najafgarh drain. In the RK Puram Assembly constituency, development works worth nearly Rs 100 crore are progressing at a rapid pace.

Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said the BJP releases a “Sankalp Patra” and not merely a manifesto during elections. He claimed that several commitments made to the public have already been fulfilled and the groundwork for others has been laid.

“For a developed India, a developed Delhi is essential. Today, Delhi is moving steadily on the path of development,” he said. He added that it is the party’s duty to inform every household about the Government’s work. New Delhi MP Bansuri Swaraj said there is renewed enthusiasm among citizens since the formation of the BJP government.

She announced that Rs 2,100 crore was allocated for Delhi Jal Board works during a Todapur meeting. She also cited allocations of Rs 10 crore for Rajendra Nagar Assembly, Rs 128 crore for Malviya Nagar, and Rs 100 crore each for Greater Kailash and RK Puram.

Swaraj said 14 Atal Canteens have been opened in the New Delhi constituency, offering meals at Rs 5. Other projects include multi-storey parking in GK-1, desilting of the Barapullah drain, the 400 Kusk Nala Bus Depot and the launch of the Devi Bus from Lodhi Colony. She also said 139 Chhath Ghats, including 10 model ghats, have been developed.

The programme was coordinated by MP Yogendra Chandolia and attended by several ministers, MLAs and party officials. The BJP said the outreach reflects a confident Government presenting its work directly to the people.
