Rekha govt failed on 15 key issues in 100 days: AAP
New Delhi: A day ahead of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Delhi government's 100-day milestone, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday released a scathing 'report card,' accusing the BJP of failing on 15 key issues and reneging on its pre-election promises. Senior AAP leaders including Atishi, Manish Sisodia, Saurabh Bhardwaj, Sanjeev Jha, and Kuldeep Kumar addressed a press conference to present the report, alleging that the BJP had 'ruined' Delhi's condition within just three months of governance. 'The people of Delhi voted for the BJP hoping for a better future, but within 100 days, the BJP has turned Delhi into a disaster zone,' said Atishi, former Delhi minister. 'This report card will be taken to every household across the capital.' AAP's report outlined a range of grievances, chief among them being the BJP's alleged failure to deliver on two flagship promises — providing ₹2,500 to women by March 8 and distributing free LPG cylinders on Holi and Diwali. According to AAP, neither commitment was fulfilled. The party further accused the BJP of presiding over a worsening situation in the capital. There has been a sharp rise in power outages, coupled with an increase in electricity tariffs. The Farishte Yojana, a program that offered free medical treatment for road accident victims in private hospitals, has reportedly been discontinued. Additionally, private school fees have surged, placing a burden on parents and resulting in the expulsion of students who are unable to pay. Healthcare services have also suffered, as several mohalla clinics have been shut down and staff laid off. Water supply has become irregular, and there have been reports of contaminated sewer water flowing through residential taps, contributing to a rise in waterborne illnesses. Delhi's air quality has deteriorated further, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) crossing the 500 mark — a dangerous level — during the summer season. The AAP report card also highlights that the BJP-led administration has cut pensions for 25,000 widows and removed portraits of national icons Bhagat Singh and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar from government offices. Promises to regularize bus marshals and civil defence volunteers, which the BJP pledged to complete within 60 days, remain unfulfilled. Free operations and diagnostic tests in private healthcare facilities — once available under AAP governance — have been stopped. Moreover, the demolition of slum areas has left many people homeless and without rehabilitation support. Highlighting the growing discontent, AAP leaders noted that women have staged protests — some even breaking pots at BJP MLAs' offices — over water shortages in various parts of the city. Tanker-based water supply has become the norm in several neighborhoods, while reports of dirty sewer water contaminating drinking taps have raised serious health concerns.

BJP failed to deliver on its promises in 100 days: AAP
New Delhi: AAP on Thursday alleged that Delhi's "four-engine govt" had failed in the first 100 days to launch a single scheme or fulfil any electoral promise it had made but was "dismantling the ground-breaking public welfare schemes" of the previous administration. AAP, which governed Delhi for 10 years before losing to BJP in the assembly polls earlier this year, released its own 15-point report card of the current BJP dispensation in a press conference. It was addressed by former Delhi chief minister and now leader of opposition Atishi , AAP's Delhi president Saurabh Bharadwaj, and two other MLAs. "BJP govt will complete 100 days on May 30. People trusted them and voted for change, but instead of development, the three months have brought chaos," Atishi said. She accused govt of stalling the "good work that was already happening", adding that launching new schemes was out of the question. The party claimed there were frequent and prolonged power cuts across the city now. While the electricity tariff increased from 7-15%, there was a rise in private school fees, and Delhi was facing a severe water crisis, with claims of sewer water flowing from taps in several areas, AAP said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Atishi also alleged that the city recorded its worst pollution levels this summer, with the Air Quality Index crossing 500. AAP functionaries also claimed that BJP had halted critical welfare schemes such as the mohalla clinics and the Farishtey scheme and alleged that govt failed to provide permanent jobs to bus marshals. AAP also accused BJP of not delivering on major pre-poll promises, including the Rs 2,500 monthly honorarium to poor women and the subsidised LPG cylinders at Rs 500, with free distribution on Holi. "This was a major political comeback for the BJP after 27 years in Delhi. They have a four-engine govt — at the Centre, MCD, LG, and now the state — but in their first 100 days, they've only delivered 100 lies," Bharadwaj said. He added that despite their promise to not disrupt ongoing welfare programmes, BJP has been quietly removing doctors from mohalla clinics and rebranding AAP initiatives, such as renaming mohalla buses as 'DEVI' buses.

100 days of Delhi govt: 7 MPs, 48 MLAs,top BJP leaders at mega JLN event
The Delhi government will on Friday present its road map for the future ahead of a large-scale event on Saturday at the JLN Stadium, where chief minister Rekha Gupta will present the government's 'report card' of 100 days in office, officials familiar with the matter said. Scheduled for 11am, the event on Saturday will see the participation of Delhi's 7 MPs, 48 MLAs, Delhi BJP president and key party functionaries, whose names are yet to be finalised, officials said. An official privy to the plans, requesting anonymity, said: 'All Delhi cabinet ministers, Delhi BJP functionaries, MPs, MLAs and hundreds of Delhiites will be invited for the event. Some central government ministers may also attend the event. The invitation cards for the programme are being sent and final touches are being given to the preparations.' On Friday, chief minister Gupta and her cabinet ministers are likely to address a press conference at the Delhi Secretariat, wherein more details about Saturday's event may be disclosed, a second government official said. The cabinet will also share the achievements of the government, the official said. Among key topics that are likely to feature in the report card are the public issue of Ayushman Bharat cards, health coverage of ₹10 lakh for elderly citizens, the ₹1 lakh crore development budget for Delhi, Yamuna clean-up plans, budget allocations for installing STPs, the Devi Yojana bus scheme, and GPS tracking of water tankers. Another key topic is the commencement of developing Ayushman Arogya Mandirs to provide people with free medicines, health checks and X-rays. Also, the policy-level decision for the Mahila Samman scheme may be mentioned, officials said. Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva said: 'While 100 days is a very short period to assess a government that came to power after a decade of misgovernance, it is a matter of satisfaction that the BJP government has succeeded in creating a positive image. The greatest achievement of CM Rekha Gupta's government is that, unlike Arvind Kejriwal, who engaged in negative politics by blaming the central government, BJP, and officials for his failures, the BJP government is proactive and is addressing every issue of Delhiites.' Meanwhile, the leader of the Opposition Atishi said the 'BJP government has failed' at a press conference on the day. 'Instead of fulfilling promises, the BJP government spent its first 100 days shutting down public welfare schemes…power outages have returned, women did not receive ₹2,500 or free LPG cylinders on Holi, private school fees have gone up, and Delhi reels under a crippling water crisis,' Atishi said. BJP's South Delhi MP Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said the BJP government has continued all welfare schemes, as promised by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during assembly elections. 'Chief minister Rekha Gupta has prepared a road map for a developed Delhi. In every area—waterlogging, pollution, transport, drinking water, education, health care—Delhi is now moving towards becoming the developed capital of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dreams,' Bidhuri said.

Performance in spotlight on the eve of new BJP govt.'s 100 days in power
New Delhi The Opposition Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) took potshots at each other on Thursday ahead of the Capital marking 100 days under the new government. AAP released a 'report card' on the government's 100 days in power, criticising it for alleged power outages, rising private school fees, and failure to deliver the promised ₹2,500 monthly allowance to women until now. Hitting back, the BJP accused AAP of leaving behind '10 years of misgovernance' and claimed that in its first 100 days, the government has restored public trust by issuing Ayushman Bharat cards, announcing a ₹1-lakh-crore annual budget, and creating a 'positive image through responsive governance'. Addressing a press conference, Leader of the Opposition in the Delhi Assembly, Atishi, said, 'Tomorrow marks 100 days of the BJP's government in Delhi. The people gave them a mandate to work for citizens, but in just 100 days, the BJP has made life hell for Delhiites.' She claimed that rather than improving the system, the BJP dismantled the functional services that had been running smoothly for the past 10 years. Ms. Atishi alleged that the BJP government had damaged Delhi's power infrastructure, leading to frequent and prolonged power cuts.' People now expect outages every time the temperature rises or there is a thunderstorm. Is this really the national capital? Are we living in 2025? The BJP has raised power tariffs by 7–15%. From next month, people will start getting inflated bills,' she said. 'Proactive approach' Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said that while 100 days is a short time to evaluate a new government, it is long enough to establish a clear contrast with AAP's decade in power. 'The greatest achievement of Rekha Gupta's government is its proactive approach. Unlike Arvind Kejriwal, who resorted to blame games, the BJP government is addressing the concerns of Delhiites. Her work is becoming her identity,' he said. Mr. Sachdeva said the government's achievements included issuing Ayushman Bharat cards, allocating funds for new sewage treatment plants to clean the Yamuna river, deploying 400 Delhi Electric Vehicle Interconnector buses, installing GPS tracking to monitor water supply to slums, and developing Ayushman Arogya Mandirs for free medicines and health check-ups.

‘Spectacular failure', ‘desperation': BJP, AAP trade barbs over first 100 days of govt in Delhi
While the BJP appears focused on projecting stability and delivery in its early days of power, the AAP aims to punch holes in its claims with its own 'report card'. The BJP has announced a series of events to mark hundred days of its government in the national capital on May 31. New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) The first 100 days of the BJP government was a 'spectacular failure' the opposition AAP said, as the ruling party dismissed it as 'desperate' statements of a party reeling from internal collapse and public rejection. AAP senior leader and Delhi Assembly's Leader of Opposition, Atishi, said Rekha Gupta's government had failed the people of the city on every front — power, water, education, and public welfare. Sharing a graphic titled '100 Days: Report Card Fail' on social media platform X, she announced that AAP will release a comprehensive report card on BJP's performance this Friday (May 30). 'The BJP's 100-day mark is around the corner, and it is clear they have failed spectacularly on all counts,' Atishi said. AAP, which has alleged that the BJP's governance has led to 'hardship and distress', also invited public suggestions to be included in the report. Responding to the statement, Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said this reflected the 'political desperation' of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). 'Having lost power in Delhi, the AAP is now imploding with internal strife and rebellion within its legislative ranks. This manufactured outrage is an attempt to stay politically relevant,' he said. Sachdeva rubbished AAP's claims about power and water shortages, saying the BJP's 'Summer Action Plan' has improved the situation. He further defended the government's efforts on pollution control and river cleaning, accusing the Arvind Kejriwal-led party of an Rs 8,000 crore scam during its tenure under the pretext of Yamuna rejuvenation. 'The AAP government failed to install the required 26 sewage treatment plants for a decade. Our administration has not only funded these but has accelerated the cleanup process,' he said. AAP's national media in-charge Anurag Dhanda echoed similar sentiments as Atishi, alleging power outages, a worsening water crisis, and unchecked private school fee hikes. The party accused the BJP of enabling a 'tanker mafia', ignoring pollution control, and reneging on key election promises — like the Rs 2,500 monthly support for women and subsidised LPG cylinders. 'Instead of governance, people have received false promises and rising prices,' said a statement by AAP. PTI MHS SKY SKY This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
