Delhi Chief Minister is gearing up for the upcoming state assembly polls, in full swing. After claiming that his Aam Aadmi Party will follow the path of ‘positive campaigning rather than indulging in mudslinging other parties, the capital’s Chief Minister is planning to bring fore the developmental work that his government ahs done in the last five years.
Sharing his plans for further growth and progress of the city, Kejriwal, while speaking at his fifth town-hall meeting, said if re-elected he will make roads in Delhi like that of London and Tokyo in the next five years. He added that his focus is to beautify Delhi and 40 roads are being redesigned in the city.
“The redesigning would be done by November, if okay, then all roads will be done accordingly. We will make roads of Delhi like that of London and Tokyo,” he said.
“We have hired consultants to identify bottlenecks in the city where traffic congestion takes place. They will submit their plan in the next couple of months and based on their suggestions, we will try to solve the problem of traffic congestion,” he said.
The minister said that controlling pollution in Delhi was also on his agenda.
“A lot of work still has to be done in Delhi. Yamuna has to be cleaned, Delhi has to be cleaned, pollution needs to be controlled and transport needs to be improved,” he said.
Expressing concern over increasing number of fire incidents in Delhi, he said action will be taken if a trend is found in fire incidents.
“I’m concerned about the incidents of fire. We have ordered inquiries into all these incidents and if we find a trend on reasons behind the fires and we can solve them by taking a particular action, then we will definitely implement it,” he said.
Attacking the BJP for trying to stop the mega parent-teacher meeting (PTM) in Delhi government schools, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said that education should be a part of politics, but one shouldn’t politicise the education system.
