4 April 2014 5:17 AM IST
‘We will fulfill our promises even in the existing system, as for all practical purposes, President’s rule means the rule of Central government and the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi. They act as per the directions of Union Ministry of Home Affairs,’ said Harsh Vardhan, Delhi BJP president.
‘We will pressurise and persuade our Central leadership to act for the welfare Delhiites and implement several Central government schemes like “food for all”, pension scheme, which will provide relief to the people before Delhi assembly elections,’ added VK Malhotra.
BJP is also expected to present a road map to control inflation in its national manifesto, as the issue finds space in almost all speeches by its prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi. It’s pertinent to mention that in 2009 Lok Sabha Election, the Congress party had declared that it would control inflation within 30 days.
Besides, price rise Delhi BJP has also promised compulsory insurance to every citizen of Delhi, provision of 25 life saving medicines for free, security for women, income-based scholarship scheme for students, and development of Delhi into a ‘world class city’.
The party has also included its promises of bringing down power tariff by 30 percent, senior citizen’s welfare board, full statehood of Delhi. The BJP has also assured public participation by promising to draft development projects after consulting the people, reversing four year undergraduation programme in Delhi University and development of unauthorised colonies and villages.
On the issue of combating corruption, Vardhan said there is a need to have laws like Jan Lokpal, but more important is to weed out its root cause by bringing in transparency in government’s function.
‘Prevention is better than cure. There is a need to make all the government’s decisions and procedure transparent. We will follow the policy of ‘transparency at its peak’ and will promote e-governance. All tenders will be made available on the website and the process of awarding big tenders will be video graphed,’ said Vardhan.
He added that the institution of Lokayukta will be made effective with sufficient powers. Moreover, an accountability commission will also be established for ensuring efficient use of public money, Vardhan said.
