NEW DELHI, Feb 28: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta assured the people of the national capital on Friday that her government would fulfil all the promises made in the BJP’s election manifesto, despite what she described as financial mismanagement by the previous Aam Aadmi Party government.
Speaking in the Assembly during a discussion on the motion of thanks on the Lieutenant Governor’s inaugural address in the House, Gupta took a dig at the AAP, calling it a “dharna party” that continues to protest even after being voted out of power.
“Atishi and other AAP MLAs were holding up banners even before we took the oath, asking when will we give Rs 2,500 each to women. They dare to question us when they themselves failed to fulfil the same promise in Punjab. They are a dharna party — when in power, they sat on protests, now they are in the opposition and they are still doing the same,” the Chief Minister said.
She also hit out at the AAP for staging protests over the alleged removal of B R Ambedkar’s and Bhagat Singh’s portraits from the Chief Minister’s Office. “They just wanted an excuse to leave the House because they could not face the CAG reports tabled here,” she said.
On the second CAG report tabled in the House by her, Gupta said, “Fulfilling a promise made to the people of Delhi, the second CAG audit report on the management of public health infrastructure and health services was presented before the House. This report has not only exposed the reality of the (previous) Arvind Kejriwal Government, but also exposed those who played with the health of the people of Delhi.”
She further asked what did the AAP do during its 10-year rule in the capital other than its leaders holding press conferences, giving sound bites and posting messages on social media. (AGENCIES)
