Letter to Bhartiya Janta Party and Indian National Congress chiefs
by Aam Aadmi Party, The 18 issues are mentioned below:
Lets critically analyze these issues, If these issues are
realistic? If at all Aam Aadmi Party manages to get unconditional support, will
they be able to resolve and change Delhi.
What do you think?
1. The VIP culture should be stopped in Delhi. No MLA,
minister or Delhi official will use a red beacon on their cars. Neither will
they live in big bungalows nor take any special security.
My View: Our elected leaders, will not give up this
luxury. It would be very difficult and in fact impossible to implement this. If
at all it is implemented, it would take years to change peoples mindset which
has been existed for more than 60 years.
2. Passing of the Janlokpal Bill, the same version for which
Anna Hazare held fasts.
My View: All of us are aware, What is means to pass the
Anna Hazare’s version? I don’t think all the points will be included in the new
bill.
3. People will take decision directly in 'mohalla sabhas',
which will be held in every locality and colony.
My View: There
will be selfish interests and local politicians who would try to dominate. As we
all know, People participation is the biggest issue.
4. The AAP demanded complete statehood status for Delhi.
Central government's hold on DDA and Police should end.
My View: It’s not
that easy as it seems, as whoever control’s Central Government would like to
have control on Delhi irrespective of who controls Delhi government.
5. The party also demanded a special audit of all
electricity companies in the national capital from the time these were
privatised. The companies that refuse to participate, their licenses should be
cancelled.
My View: Would it
be so easy to get the original balance sheets and the account books? On, What
grounds will they cancel the licenses, What are the plans AAP they cancel the
licences
6. Electricity meters should be checked.
My View: How fair
will be the monitoring? What steps will they take to ensure that the meters are
not tampered in the future?
7. There is 220 litres of water available for every person
daily. Where is it?
My View: Its
obvious the water mafia takes everything away? What will they do to break the mafia?
However who gives water to this mafia?
8. AAP wants unauthorised colonies should be regularised.
Thirty percent of Delhi's population lives in such colonies and these should be
regularised.
My View: Is this
Vote Bank politics? AAP was blaming BJP and Congress? Don’t you think this is a
populist measure? Are they really thinking about common man the Aam Aadmi?
9. The party demanded to know if the Congress and the BJP
will support its decision to give clean and affordable 'pakka houses' (built up
houses) to those living in slums.
My View: Who is
taking advantage of this? Is Aam Aadmi building their Vote Bank?
10. It also sought their support to give regular jobs to
those working on contractual basis.
My View: How will
they do this? Will the corporate agree this? Who will bear the cost?
11. It wants to give infrastructural facilities like roads,
electricity, water and basic facilities to the ordinary trader.
My View: What
will they do to ensure they are fair and the best practices are followed to
build them?
12. AAP said it is against FDI in retail.
My View: Why are
they against? Can they clarify? Who are they trying to protect?
13. The party wants to provide facilities and subsidies to
farmers in the villages in the national capital.
My View: Facilities
is fine, But subsidy? Again we are trying to please a particular section of
society? Will the subsidies reach the needy?
14. The party also demanded to know the Congress and BJP's
stand on opening 500 government schools, stopping donations in private schools
and making the fee system transparent.
My View: 500? Is
this a realistic figure? Is there land available? If there is what will be the
cost and when would it be developed? Don’t tell me 2030?
15. The party said it wanted to open new government
hospitals with better facilities.
My View: Again,
We want to open new hospitals? Why are they not talking of upgrading and
improving the facilities? The poor are still denied best of treatment.
16. It also wants to have special security units for women
and wants all harassment cases to be tackled within three months.
My View: Very
Novel Idea, Where will these cases be heard? Do we have the judiciary machinery
in place? Where will the security units be deployed? The problem doesn’t lie
that we don’t have a special security unit for women? But what will you do to
educate those men who still doesn’t respect women?
17. It wanted to set up enough courts and appoint judges so
that all cases are dealt with within six months.
My View: Seriously, Is this possible? What about the
millions of cases which are pending since years? Is the judiciary competent
enough to take care of all the cases? Do we have the machinery in place? More
important who has the will to do it? Government? Police? Judiciary?
18. The AAP wanted to know whether the municipal
corporations of Delhi will support them on these issues.
My View: What is
they don’t support? Because these people don’t survive of the salary but there
are other sources of income? Why will they support Aam Aadmi Party.
Why should you support Aam Aadmi Party, Congress or BJP?
Are these demands realistic? I don’t think so? There are too
many problems to be discussed, debated and resolved.
Please Mr Kejriwal, Think Again! We want to support you, But
don’t get stuck or these people will not allow you to function.
