Can BJP deliver on Swacch Bharat ?

I agree BJP cannot deliver on Swacch Bharat, because all metro cities have the same story of illegal colonies legalized later. If you cannot create a proper minimum required infrastructure, how can you develop a Swacch Bharat.

Kejriwal is a master strategist

Delhi was generally known as a place of wheeler dealers. By getting 67 out of 70 seats, Kejriwal has shown that he is a master strategist.

Kumar

Damage to NDA has come from youth

It is incorrect to say that the rumour of 58 as retirement age made any difference. In fact the damage to NDA has come from the youth who voted with vengeance for not even a symbolism coming from the gov like reducing retirement age- the rumourur of reduction and then it's denial only added insult to injury, particularly since there was no job creation. It is high time that post retirement sinecures are completely banned so that the admin develops some kind of spine.

ARC Kumar

Not a matter of joke

AAP kyo Congress ke maje le rahe ho. BJP /RSS ki kya gati bani hai Delhi me. 1984 ki BJP/RSS ko kaun janta tha. Chinta har kisi ko apni honi chahye na ki Congress ki. Maze mat lo. Ye majaak ka vishay nahi hai.

" Resume direct recruitment to CSS through Civil Services Exams "

DOP&T stopped direct rectt. to CSS ,a decade back, due to pressure of stenographers and promotee officers.L K Advani ,as Dy PM,manipulated the decision. This adversely impacted the quality of decision-making in Central Sectt. The beneficiaries are other organized services by making inroads into central sect to fulfill their wish to come to Delhi on deputation,wasting their specialized domain knowledge.

AAP to blame Centre !

I fully agree with Vimal. This is going to happen in few days, weeks or months from now. Delhi Government will blame Central Government for each and every unfulfilled election promise made by them to the Delhi Voters.

Impatient and ruthless Delhi

I was just going through the judgements pronounced in favour and against the style of working of NDA Government and their defeat in Delhi. I would further like to add spice in the dishes being made out. First of all, I must with regret write that being Delhiite since childhood and love to remain in Delhi till my end of life, only we the Delhi wallas are in need of subsidy for every luxury. I may not have travelled all over the country but wherever I have travelled and stayed, I have never heard people crying for subsidy and crying due to rate of electricity or water, still the price of essentials are cheaper than Delhi(especially food items). It is a well said truth that there is no "Free Lunch" in the world, however, I must add that at time free lunch can happen to some at the cost of others and what I am reading from the promises dolled by the present Government in Delhi is the same that they are going to serve free lunches (read free facilities/subsidies) at the cost of development. Somewhere I read that in Delhi only few percentage of people pay house tax whereas most of these unauthorised colonies/clusters are not ready to pay even development charge leave aside the house tax etc. Houses are constructed in such a way that it will only be 'magic wand' which can do some miracle to provide civic amenities. And if at all by grace of God, this Government will go on providing such facilities at the cost of development, as one follower in the whisper has rightly quoted, in the days to come, Delhi instead of becoming world class city will convert into the world's only exception of capital of jhuggis because more and more people from other states in search of easy money and cheap living will definitely would like to enter Delhi to whom nobody can restrict, but wonder where the people who are willing to pay for facilities have to shift. Some thinking is needed before declaring result in hurry and haste ?
