So after keeping Delhi in limbo for months the Lieutenet Governor was forced to announce the dissolution of the Delhi assembly(since in the next hearing the court may have ordered the dissolution of the assembly) . Last year in February when the Delhi Janlokpal bill was tabled int he Assembly, BJP and Congress joined hands to stop the bill from getting passed. Arvind Kejriwal had promised earlier that Janlokpal Bill would be passed if AAP came to power and incase they were unable to pass the bill, then all the MLA's of AAP will resign together . What AAP said, AAP did Arvind Kejriwal and all the other 26 MPs resigned .
In Delhi Assembly elections held last year although the single largest party was BJP with 32 seats the first timers Aam Aadmi Party had won 28 seats . The Congress was left with mere 8 seats. The Congress by itself went to LG and announced unconditional support to AAP if it forms the government. So AAP did a public referendum and most people were in favour of AAP forming a government with Congress's support.
The tenure of AAP in Delhi was rather short but it was full of action . In the first few days the electricity rates were halved ,then upto 20000 lts of water was made free per household per month. A call center was started where people could report if any govt official asked for bribe. Some govt officials were removed when they were found asking for bribes. In fact a TV channel did a sting operation on which some officials some of them asked for bribes . Manish Sisodiya suspended them right then and there.
The Sheila Dixit government of Delhi swindled all the money that was allocated for building Rain Baseras for the homeless especially in the biting Delhi cold. When AAP came to power it was December and in December - January the night temperatures of Delhi can be as low as 4 or 5 degree celcius. The AAP govt acted briskly immediately arranged for Porta Cabinets and some old unused buses were used as night shelters for the the homeless.
The fact that the electricity companies were benefiting from tariffs set by the Sheila government can be gauged by the fact that when it was announced that an audit would be done of the power companies by the CAG, the power companies moved to court to stop the audit. When they failed in high court they moved to supreme court. This shows that there is something wrong and Kejriwal is right when he alleges that the power companies have been benefited by the Sheila Government and they were hands in gloves.
There were reports from friends living in Delhi that the roadside stall owners actually lowered the rate of their services during AAP's tenure, when asked for reason the person said that because of AAP's government the Delhi Police was scared to take bribes and this lead to savings. He decided to pass it on to the consumers which resulted in him getting more customers. A friend reported that a rickshawalla actually charged less than what he usually charged the reason he gave was because of the AAP government he no longer has to pay the Rs 5000 hafta to police anymore.
A few months ago e-rickshaws was banned by Delhi High Court , this e- rickshaws cannot be made legal till necessary amendment are made in the Motor Vehicles Act. In Delhi over 100,000 people had invested in e-rickshaws. They are from poor families and the livelihoods of their families depend on this. However the government did not show any urgency in amending the motor vehicles act. The result is the e-rickshaw drivers are not able to earn their livelihood. The government is elected by people so that it works for it and improves their standard of life . Unfortunately in India the ignorance of masses have resulted in corrupt and criminal people coming to power. This people rob the nation and leave the masses in poverty.
The nation needs to wake up, Delhi needs to wake and don't let this opportunity go. If Delhiites want to live in a corruption free environment . If the people of Delhi wants a government that is committed to work for their well being. If the people of Delhi want their daughters and sisters to be safe in the city and if they want an excellent future of their Kids then Delhi must vote for #AAP . Since Modi's BJP govt has continued the loot of the nation, it promised acche din but is doing exactly the opposite.
