Two high priority tasks, launching new urban development projects and probe into the recruitments made by Aam aadmi Party during its decade long rule, will be high on the agenda of the new Bharatiya Janata Party-led Delhi government.
Days after the massive victory secured by BJP, the national leadership has listed a number of important tasks that the saffron-led Delhi Government would implement within the first few weeks of being sworn in.
Among the new development projects set to be launched will be, projects for ensuring 100 percent sewerage and potable water distribution in the national capital, expansion of Delhi Metro, bringing in more buses for the Delhi Transport Corporation and finalisation and implementation of 2041 master plan for the national capital in collaboration with Delhi Development Authority.
Apart from these developmental initiatives, the new BJP government is also set to cancel appointments of all home guards, bus marshals as they are considered to be the active workers of Aam Aadmi Party. The new government is also likely to begin a fresh appointment process for these posts.
Pending payment of advertising companies and media campaigns are also likely to be stopped and inquiries into these are set to be initiated to ascertain which organisations and individuals were provided undue benefits. A list of senior journalists, who had been adjusted in college and university governing bodies by the Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP government, is also likely to be made public along with the payments made to these scribes, sources said
Similarly, the new government will also launch probe into fellowships and recruitments by Education department. A research project initiated by Delhi Assembly is also likely to come under a scanner, sources said.
A probe will also be launched into the operations of Mohalla clinics, purchase of medicines and hiring of doctors under contract. The BJP is also likely to terminate the empanelment of services of lawyers and review their payment schedules who had been engaged by the AAP government, sources added.
The developmental projects will aim to redefine the image of the national capital in a developed, clean and resident friendly city which can be showcased at an international level.
Sources stated that after receiving a massive mandate in the recent Delhi Assembly polls, the task for the BJP-led Delhi Government would not be an easy one as its cadres and supporters would need immediate results from the government.
More housing for poor and middle class, clean Yamuna and environment, better infrastructure will be the focus of the new government which will enhance the quality of life of Delhi’s residents, sources added.
There are 70 members in the Delhi Legislative Assembly. BJP has secured 48 seats and the Aam Aadmi Party was restricted to 22 seats.
