BJP Government Completes 10 Months in Delhi, AAP Calls Promises Mere Jumble

New Delhi, 31 December. As the BJP government in Delhi completes 10 months, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has raised questions over its performance. AAP’s Delhi unit convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj and party leader Kuldeep Kumar alleged that the government has done very little work during this period. They said that the big promises made before elections remain unfulfilled, leaving the public feeling deceived.

Saurabh Bhardwaj said the government’s promise to provide Delhi women with Rs 2,500 per month and free gas cylinders has turned out to be a mere jumla. As the new year arrives, women in Delhi are still waiting for this assistance. He added that major festivals like Diwali and Holi have passed, but women have received neither the Rs 2,500 nor free cylinders. Bhardwaj also accused Chief Minister Rekha Gupta of making false claims regarding private school fees.

He said the government claims the new fee regulation law has reduced school fees, but in reality, many private schools have increased fees by 20 to 80 percent. Challenging the Chief Minister, he asked her to name even a single school where fees were rolled back. On pollution, AAP also criticised the government.

He stated that instead of reducing pollution, the government manipulated data. Water sprinkling was done at AQI monitoring stations, and when pollution levels rose, several stations were shut down. The government was also accused of showing a “fake Yamuna” concerning its cleanliness.

Kuldeep Kumar said the government’s first year has been one of broken promises for Delhi residents. He described promises related to Ayushman cards, school fee waivers, insurance for gig workers, and employment as incomplete. Kumar claimed that the government’s assertion about treatment in large private hospitals under the Ayushman card scheme is hollow. Referring to the previous AAP government, he said Arvind Kejriwal’s administration delivered on its promises, but in the current government’s 10 months, mohalla clinics have closed, medicine shortages persist in hospitals, and the number of DTC buses has decreased.
