'AAP'- YOUR WIN

AAP-Aam Aadmi Party, probably the most newest party in the field of politics, took the Delhi elections by storm, as it demolished the reigns of two biggest parties in Indian poilitics, BJP (Bhartiya Janta Party) & INC (Indian National Congress). The former was considered to pose some fight for AAP but all were proved wrong as AAP completely dominated the elections, capturing 67 of the 70 seats on offer, leaving BJP to 3 and a Duck for Congress!!

This is considered as one of the biggest victories in the history of Indian Constitution.

AAP was considered doubtful in the start as because of it's small tint of mere 49 days when earlier appointed!! but in those days also, they were able able to spread their views and ideas among the public of Delhi. This is also considered as one of the major reasons for AAP to win the elections so convincingly. it shows  that the people of Delhi still have faith in Arvind Kejriwal and his party, that yes, they will bring a new revolution in Delhi.

Here are a few of visionary concepts put forward by the AAP on their website about their work, done and to be done:-

Corruption & Janlopkal - An Anti-corruption helpline was launched a few weeks back, encouraging the citizens to identify instances of corruption and report them to law enforcement. This has resulted in several officials being caught. More importantly, there is credible deterrence amongst the officials, which has brought about a decrease in the acts of corruption in the city. Moreover, the draft of Janlokpal is ready and will be presented for cabinet review this week. It will be brought as a bill in the assembly session in the coming days. 

Swaraj Bill - February is a critical month as far as critical legislations for the people of Delhi are concerned. In addition to the Delhi Janlokpal bill, the Swaraj bill is all set to be brought forward in the Delhi Assembly session in the coming days. 

Ending of VIP culture - The "VIP" culture, a legacy from the British Raj, has been abolished. No cars with red beacons, no special privileges for ministers are just some of the things that have been brought to a halt by the AAP govt. 

Electricity related issues - Prices upto the first 400 units of Electricity consumed have been slashed by half. A CAG audit, which the people have been demanding for months now, has finally been initiated to investigate the accounts & functioning of the discoms. Most importantly, independent agencies have been identified to investigate the cases of faulty/fast running electricity meters. People who face issues related to their electricity meters can approach their SDM's office and launch a complaint for getting the meters investigated. 

Water tariffs & distributions - 20 kilo litre of water has been made free for every household. We recognize that this is only a start and the benefit of water has to reach many more people. Work is going on towards achieving that. We are also working with the Delhi Jal board CEO to determine implementable ways of water conservation & harvesting. The order to move the DTC millennium depot from the banks of the Yamuna is one way of restoring the flood plains and encourage natural water conservation. Finally, the schedule of water tanker operations is now publicly available for the benefit of the citizens.

Working with the NGOs - Several NGO's have taken up the cause of the people and environments. Some of these are in the intrest of the people & the city. We have adopted a policy of working with such NGO's as opposed to engaging in legal battles. Ultimately, we need to bring all people & organizations, genuinely working for the betterment of the city together.

Nursery Admissions - have been a long standing problem for parents in Delhi. The Delhi govt. recently launched a helpline that encourages parents to report cases of wrong doing during the admissions processes. 

Contract workers - (As the time of writing this, the on-going protests by the contract workers have ended with people returning back to work). The Delhi Govt. is committed to the cause of people working on contracts and is well aware of the injustice suffered by them. The chief minister has met these workers on multiple occasions and has set up a committee to look into genuine grievances. The govt. has also ensured these workers that no jobs will be terminated until the recommendation of this committee are announced. This addressees the immediate concerns of the people and also provides time to the Govt. to look at a long term solution for the problem. 

Transportation - 5500 new permits have been issued for Auto rickshaws to commute in the NCR region. This will make traveling between Delhi and near-by NCR areas easier for people. Earlier, auto rickshaws were not permitted outside of the Delhi city limits. 

Social justice - The cabinet will meet next week to approve the recommendation of the formation of a SIT to review the cases of violence against the Sikh community in the 1984 riots. Right after that, this recommendation will be sent to the LG of Delhi who has already been briefed on the matter. 

On a good note, hope so that the party bring new hopes and ideas and lead to a national cause on a positive. My best wishes with AAP & Arvind Keriwal, the new C.M of Delhi.

Hope you do well, Sir!!
