Member of Parliament Vijay Goel said that due to the attitude of AAP leaders especially post the Odd even scheme, Delhi being granted a full state status is now a distant dream. They manner in which AAP has insulted the MPs is extremely unfortunate and condemnable. Without any consultations, the rules of Odd Even scheme were decided and just a day before Parliament resumes, it was announced that a 6 buses would run for MPs. Later came the announcement that MPs would not be fined if they violate the rule as if the AAP is doing a massive favour to the MPs. Which authority did they consult before making the list of VIP exemptions? They think they are the rulers of India.LokSabha speaker should have been informed in time.
Mr. Goel said that since years, Delhi hasn’t been granted full statehood in the precaution of a situation where a state government is elected that is constantly at odds with the central government and is a constant impediment in the functioning of ministers and MPs. This is probably why every party was hesitant.
Mr. Goel said that the reasons for which he decided to get fined as a mark of protest have all proven to be right, hence through LokAbhiyaan he would solidify his claims and begin his survey from tomorrow. 10,000 people will be surveyed across Delhi for which 13 teams have been formed. The surveyors will seek the opinion of people on various busy crossroads of Delhi, metro stations, pedestrians, two wheeler drivers, car drivers etc.
Mr. Goel himself at 10:00am tomorrow outside Rajiv Chowk Metro station along with the team of LokAbhiyaan volunteers shall make people fill the survey form. The survey form will have questions such as that whether during the Odd Even scheme there was reduction in pollution, traffic, whether you were overcharged by radio taxi companies and if you are satisfied with their services, did autos overcharge?, whether a publicity budget of crores of rupees is justified, if Kejriwal govt. had full preparedness for the implementation of the scheme, what ordeals did you have to face because of the scheme, whether you carpooled during this time, if you would want the scheme to be repeated etc.
Goel also released a list of the locations at which people will be surveyed. The listis as follows:
