BJP and its leaders are diverting people from real issues which are affecting the general public and creates a false narrative to confuse people during the election time --Anil Bhardwaj

On
burning issues like unemployment, inflation, law and order, environment
and the worsening air pollution, the Congress Party has been
amplifying the voice of the people by seeking answers from BJP
government ---Anil Bhardwaj

Don't talk about this and that, tell me who is responsible for the plight of Delhi? - BJP government! --Anil Bhardwaj

NEW
DELHI, May 19, 2024--Chairman of the Communications Department of Delhi
Pradesh Congress Committee and former MLA Shri Anil Bhardwaj said that
Delhi Lok Sabha elections, BJP was skirting basic issues like food,
clothing, housing and employment affecting the common people of Delhi,
instead it was diverting from the main issues to confuse and confound
the people. He said that on serious issues like Delhi's environment,
worsening pollution problem, unemployment, rising inflation, law and
order etc. the Congress Party has been continuously demanding answers
from the BJP Central Government to amplify the voice of the public,
but the BJP leaders have been avoiding speaking about the real issues
affecting the people .

Shri
Bhardwaj said that Congress has been seeking answers from the BJP about
the contribution of its 7 MPs for the development and in solving the
problems of the people of Delhi in the past five years, but the BJP
hastily changed its candidates by dropping 6 of its 7 sitting MPs in
Delhi, which was a clear case of running away from the existing reality.
He said that it was not only the inaction and incompetence of the
sitting BJP MPs that stalled development, but also due to the
authoritarian manner of governance by the BJP Government at the Centre.

Shri
Bhardwaj said that BJP MPs have been representing all the seven Lok
Sabha seats in Delhi for the last 10 years but they had failed to
address the various problems affecting their constituencies due to
which people were upset and angry, and fearing certain defeat, the BJP
changed its sitting MPs post-haste. He said that despite the Prime
Minister handing over the keys of some flats constructed to resettle
those living in JJ Clusters of Kalkaji, though the in-situ construction
of flats to resettle residents of JJ Clusters was started by the
Congress Government, the BJP MPs took no further action to provide flats
to slum dwellers, and also to provide even basic civic facilities to
those living in unauthorized colonies, resettlement colonies and J.J.
clusters. He said that no concrete work had been done in the capital by
the Central Government to prevent environmental degradation, including
addressing the toxic pollution of air and water. He said that Yamuna
cleaning, repairing the cracked roads, parking, infrastructure
improvement, maintenance of parks, community buildings and schemes under
the DDA, should have been done on a priority basis, but the Delhi MPs
found no time to get works on these issues completed.

Shri
Anil Bhardwaj said that before coming to power, BJP had promised to
provide 2 crore jobs to the youth every year, but the number of
unemployed youth in Delhi has been continuously increasing and
unemployment in the country is at its peak recorded in the last 45
years with Delhi contributing the maximum number of unemployed persons.
He said that PM Modi should tell how many youth of Delhi were given
employment in the last 10 years, because according to the current data,
30 lakh posts are lying vacant in the Central Government. He said that
the Modi government has been the biggest failure in providing employment
to the youth, despite its hollow promises.

Shri
Bhardwaj said that Delhi is a vibrant city where the youth, the poor
and the needy from every region of the country come to earn their
living. Why don't BJP and Prime Minister Modi take responsibility for
rising unemployment, backbreaking inflation, doubling and quadrupling of
the prices of everyday items like petrol, diesel, LPG, CNG, PNG,
pulses, oils, seeds, vegetables, milk, curd etc? Why are they telling
lies to the people, and making confusing statements, to mislead people
during the Lok Sabha election time? He said that in the last 10 years,
the price of an LPG cylinder increased from Rs 400 to Rs 1100, petrol
prices went up from Rs 72 to Rs 95 per litre, diesel price increased
from Rs 55 to Rs 88 per litre and CNG price increased from Rs 38 to Rs
74, but the BJP MPs were silent.

Shri
Bhardwaj said that instead of finding solutions to the current issues
in the capital, BJP and its leaders are trying to mislead the people by
showing a direction devoid of subject matter, while ignoring the pain
and suffering faced by the poor, helpless, deprived, backward, lower and
middle class people of Delhi. The responsibility of the problems lies
with the BJP leaders and they should answer why solutions to the
problems of Delhi could not be found in the past 10 years. He said that
the BJP leaders should not “talk about this and that”, instead they
should tell the people about who was responsible for the plight of
Delhi? - BJP government! Only BJP government!

He
said that on May 25, due to the failure of the BJP government and
neglect of Delhi, the aware voters of Delhi will vote for the victory of
the candidates of India Alliance in all the seven Lok Sabha seats of
Delhi. He said that if the Congress and India coalition government is
formed at the Centre, we will once again start giving momentum to the
country's progress by implementing the 5 Nyay Sankalp and 25 guarantees
for the welfare and development of the people of Delhi.
