Pollution a major issue in upcoming polls, not statehood – Goel
Union Minister and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel rode a cycle with hundreds of party workers in a 7km long cycle rally in Laxmi Nagar. Goel said that instead of the full statehood, pollution would be the major issue in the upcoming polls because of which 10,000 people die every year in Delhi alone. According to a study, Delhi ranks first among 1600 polluted cities in the world.
Goel said that he would hold cycle rallies and park meetings to inform common people how Kejriwal has left them to die due to pollution by taking no remedial action in this regard.
Goel said pollution is the real issue in Delhi; full statehood is just an eyewash by Kejriwal that he is unable to deliver because he does not have complete executive powers. However, executive powers in areas like environment, education, transport, and unauthorized colonies are vested with the Kejriwal government. Goel asked if Kejriwal could not deliver in these areas, why should he be given powers of full statehood?
Goel said that PM2.5 and PM10 levels in Delhi have crossed the mark of 400, yet funds of Rs 1200 crore meant for a clean environment are lying idle with the government. Be it industrial smog, vehicles or road dust, Kejriwal has failed to act on these major contributors of Delhi’s pollution. Kejriwal could not hoodwink the people of Delhi by implementing the odd-even scheme which anyway failed to make an impact.
Goel appealed to the voters of Delhi to make the BJP victorious in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Delhi would witness development only when the BJP is in power in both the state and in the Centre.
नवभारत टाइम्स- प्रदूषण के खिलाफ साइकल यात्रा निकालेंगे गोयल
विस, नई दिल्ली : दिल्ली में प्रदूषण को लोकसभा चुनाव में एक बड़ा मुद्दा बनाने के लिए केंद्रीय मंत्री और दिल्ली बीजेपी के पूर्व अध्यक्ष विजय गोयल शुक्रवार को एक साइकिल यात्रा निकालेंगे। गोयल ने बताया कि सुबह 10 बजे वह 1000 साइकल सवारों के साथ प्रदूषण के मुद्दे को लेकर विकास मार्ग स्थित निर्माण विहार मेट्रो स्टेशन से साइकल यात्रा शुरू करेंगे, जिसमें सांसद महेश गिरी और ईस्ट एमसीडी के मेयर विपिन बिहारी सिंह भी शामिल होंगे।
गोयल ने कहा कि इन चुनावों में प्रदूषण दिल्ली के लिए एक बड़ा मुद्दा होना चाहिए, ताकि आने वाले चुनावों में दिल्ली के लोग उसी पार्टी को जिताएं, जो दिल्ली को साथ-सुथरा बनाने में सक्षम हो। उन्होंने दिल्ली को सबसे प्रदूषित शहर बनाने के लिए अरविंद केजरीवाल सरकार और उसकी नीतियों को दोषी ठहराते हुए कहा कि इसी को देखते हुए उन्होंने आने वाले चुनावों के लिए यह नारा बनाया है कि 'केजरीवाल भगाओ, दिल्ली बचाओ।'
पंजाब केसरी- तो पूर्ण राज्य संभव नहीं : गोयल
उन्होंने चुनौती दी कि दिल्ली में आम आदमी पार्टी के 70 प्वाइंट प्लान पर सिवाए नारेबाजी और धरने के कुछ काम नहीं हुआ है। सीसीटीवी, मुफ्त वाई-फाई, नए अस्पताल, नई डीटीसी बसें, नए कॉलेज, प्रदूषण से मुक्ति, अनधिकृत कॉलोनियों का नियमितकिरण और झुग्गी-झोपड़ी में विकास आदि का कोई काम नहीं हुआ है।
उन्होंने कहा कि केजरीवाल भी जानते हैं कि सर्वोच्च न्यायालय पहले ही फैसला कर चुका है कि दिल्ली एक यूनियन टैरिटरी है, जहां केन्द्र सरकार और उपराज्यपाल के अधिकार रहेंगे। ऐसे में उनका पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा मांगना केवल चुनावी ढकोसला से ज्यादा कुछ और नहीं है। इसलिए केजरीवाल और उनके झूठ का पर्दाफाश करने हेतु चल रहे इस ढोल आंदोलन में गोयल ने नारा दिया है, 'केजरीवाल भगाओ, दिल्ली बचाओ। '
Business Standard- Goel receives call about deletion of his name from electoral roll, moves CEO Press Trust of India | New Delhi
Union minister Vijay Goel Thursday claimed he received a phone call telling him the BJP got his name deleted from electoral rolls, and moved the Chief Electoral Office with a complaint against the Aam Aadmi Party.
The BJP has been alleging that people are receiving phone calls on behalf of the ruling Aam Aadmi Party telling them that their names were deleted from electoral rolls but they need not worry as Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal got them added back.
Goel said he received the call a few days back with the caller telling him that the BJP has got his name deleted from the electoral list.
The senior BJP leader, a former president of the Delhi unit of the party, lodged the complaint against the AAP and its convener Arvind Kejriwal with the CEO.
He demanded that the CEO gets the matter investigated thoroughly and legal action be initiated at the earliest.
He also demanded that responsibility should be fixed on the owners and management of the call centres for making such "bogus calls" to voters.
Earlier such complaints were forwarded to the Delhi Police which acted against centres from where such calls were being made.
Goel to lead a cycle rally of 1000 cyclists to protest Kejriwal’s failure to curb pollution
Union Minister and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel will make air pollution a major plank in the Delhi Lok Sabha Elections 2019. Goel would lead a cycle rally of 1000 cyclists tomorrow, March 15, from V3S Mall, Vikas Marg, Laxmi Nagar at 10 am to protest the complete failure of the Kejriwal government to curb air pollution in Delhi. Women, youth and common people from different walks of life will join him to support the cause.
Local MP Shri Mahesh Giri and Mayor Vipin Bihari will also join Goel in the cycle rally.
Goel said that Delhi has become the most polluted city in the world. The pollution levels in Delhi are five to seven times higher than the prescribed marks, yet no step has been taken by the Kejriwal government in the past four years. PM2.5 and PM10 levels in Delhi continually cross the severe mark of 500ug/m3, though the prescribed levels are 40ug/m3 for PM2.5 and 60ug/m3 for PM10. But instead of curbing the pollution, Kejriwal came up with odd-even drama which failed to tackle the pollution. Construction works and road dust contribute 21 percent to pollution, while industries and vehicular traffic contribute 18 percent and 41 percent to pollution respectively.
Goel said that pollution should become a major plank in the forthcoming general elections so that the residents of Delhi bring to power a party that takes stringent measures to control pollution and provide Delhi clean air to breathe.
Goel said that poor air quality has led to 30 percent rise in cases of respiratory and breathing ailments in hospitals, and the condition is even worse for poor men and women living in slums because neither they have sufficient resources for treatment nor they benefit from the “Ayushman Bharat” scheme owing to Kejriwal’s arrogance and insensitivity.
The Hindu- Goel leads BJP cadre in burning symbolic tower of AAP’s promises
Union Minister and BJP leader Vijay Goel on Wednesday responded to the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) decision to burn his party’s past manifestos by torching a symbolic “tower of the 70-point action plan” of AAP’s manifesto.
Accusing him of having “weakened the demand for statehood” Mr. Goel led party cadre in torching a tower of AAP’s “failed promises, advertisements, hoardings, and posters” at Jantar Mantar here so that “no future government cheats the people of Delhi by making false promises.”
“It has been more than four years since Arvind Kejriwal came to power. Yet he has not been able to fulfil even a single of the 70 promises listed in AAP’s election manifesto,” Mr. Goel alleged.
‘Failed promises’
According to Mr. Goel, 15 lakh CCTV cameras have not been installed, citizens are still waiting for free Wi-Fi, no buses are added, unauthorised colonies are still to be regularised, the Yamuna is still dirty, 2 lakh toilets in JJ colonies have not been built and a solar city is still a dream.
Mr. Goel alleged that instead of fulfilling his electoral promises, Mr. Kejriwal “kept indulging in one or another political drama” to hide his failures. The demand for statehood status for Delhi is “just another drama of Kejriwal” as the elections are only a few weeks away, he argued.
“I support statehood status for Delhi, but it should not be extended if the Chief Minister happens to be an anarchist, who insults the Republic Day celebrations, periodically clashes with the Lieutenant Governor and the MCDs and fails to bring any development to the city,” Mr. Goel said.
“Kejriwal is well aware of the decision of the Supreme Court over sharing of powers. Yet, he continues to indulge in theatrics and misleads the people of Delhi on the matter of statehood using foul language,” he added
The Asian Age- BJP workers accuse, burns manifesto of AAP party of cheating people of Delhi
New Delhi: BJP workers led by Union minister Vijay Goel Wednesday burnt the manifesto of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and a symbolic tower of its "failed" promises while accusing the ruling party of "cheating" the people of Delhi.
The protest came ahead of AAP's scheduled event to torch BJP's manifesto to protest against it's "betrayal" on granting full statehood to Delhi. Hitting out at the Kejriwal government, Goel said,"We have torched this symbolic tower of failures and unfulfilled promises which cheated people of Delhi after making 70 promises to them before coming to power." Goel alleged that the Kejriwal government did not fulfil it's promises of developing unauthorised colonies, to make Delhi pollution free, opening 20 colleges, buying 10,000 buses and cleaning the Yamuna, among others. "They had promised to construct two lakh toilets in the slums but not even 200 have been constructed," Goel said addressing party workers at Jantar Mantar. He also sought to corner the AAP government saying it failed in appointing a Jan Lokpal and come up with Mohalla Sabha as was promised in it's manifesto of 2015 Assembly elections. "Kejriwal government failed in every field and cheated the people who gave it 67 out of 70 Assembly seats in Delhi," he said. In the run up to Lok Sabha polls, scheduled on May 12 in Delhi, the BJP has launched attack on AAP on the local issues in the city.
नवभारत टाइम्स- जंतर-मंतर पर विजय गोयल ने जलाई केजरीवाल के चुनावी वादों की होली
नई दिल्ली
केंद्रीय संसदीय कार्य राज्यमंत्री और दिल्ली बीजेपी के पूर्व अध्यक्ष विजय गोयल ने बुधवार को जंतर-मंतर पर विरोध प्रदर्शन किया। इस दौरान उन्होंने सैकड़ों कार्यकर्ताओं के साथ दिल्ली के मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल के द्वारा विधानसभा चुनावों के वक्त जारी किए गए 70 बिंदुओं वाले ऐक्शन प्लान में लिखे वादों की मीनार बनाकर उसकी होली जलाई।
कार्यकर्ताओं को संबोधित करते हुए विजय गोयल ने कहा कि चार साल दिल्ली की सरकार चलाने के बाद अब अरविंद केजरीवाल अपनी नाकामयाबियों को छुपाने के लिए दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा दिलाने की आड़ में नए-नए नाटक कर रहे हैं। गोयल ने चुनौती देते हुए कहा कि दिल्ली में आम आदमी पार्टी की सरकार ने अपने 70 पॉइंट वाले ऐक्शन प्लान को लागू करने के लिए कोई काम नहीं किया। उन्होंने सिवाय नारेबाजी करने और धरना देने के अलावा कुछ नहीं किया। उसी का नतीजा है कि आज दिल्ली में न सीसीटीवी लग पाए, न फ्री वाई-फाई मिल पाया, न नई बसें आ सकीं, न नए स्कूल-कॉलेज और अस्पताल खुले, ना दिल्ली को प्रदूषण से मुक्ति मिली, न महिला सुरक्षा दल बने, न अनधिकृत कॉलोनियां नियमित हुईं और ना झुग्गी-झोपड़ियों में विकास का कोई काम हो पाया।
गोयल ने कहा कि हम भी दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा दिए जाने के हिमायती हैं, लेकिन अरविंद केजरीवाल जैसे मुख्यमंत्री के रहते दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य बनाना खतरे से खाली नहीं है, क्योंकि वह उन अधिकारों का दुरुपयोग करेंगे, इसमें किसी को कोई संदेह नहीं है। वैसे भी सुप्रीम कोर्ट पहले यह स्पष्ट कर चुका है कि दिल्ली एक यूनियन टेरेटरी और देश की राजधानी है। ऐसे में दिल्ली के लिए पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा मांगना केवल एक चुनावी ढकोसला है।
नवभारत टाइम्स- केजरीवाल के झूठे वादों की होली जलाएंगे: गोयल
नई दिल्ली
आम आदमी पार्टी जहां बुधवार को पूर्ण राज्य के मुद्दे को लेकर बीजेपी का 2014 का घोषणा पत्र जलाने जा रही है, तो वहीं इसके जवाब में राज्यसभा सांसद और केंद्रीय मंत्री विजय गोयलजंतर मंतर पर मुख्यमंत्री अरविंद केजरीवाल के वादों की होली जलाएंगे।
गोयल ने कहा कि बीजेपी भी चाहती है कि दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा मिले, लेकिन जब तक दिल्ली में केजरीवाल जैसा अराजकतावादी मुख्यमंत्री है, तब तक तो दिल्ली को पूर्ण राज्य का दर्जा बिल्कुल नहीं दिया जाना चाहिए, क्योंकि वह अपने अधिकारों का दुरुपयोग करेंगे।
प्रदेश सरकार को केंद्र सरकार व स्थानीय निकायों के साथ मिलकर काम करना चाहिए, टकराव पैदा करके नहीं, लेकिन अरविंद केजरीवाल हमेशा टकराव चाहते हैं। इसी वजह से दिल्ली में विकास के काम भी ठप पड़े हुए हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि केजरीवाल ने झूठे विज्ञापनों के जरिए झूठे वादों की जो मीनार खड़ी की है, हम उसी की होली जलाकर लोगों को बताएंगे कि केजरीवाल ने जो कहा, उसे पूरा करने के लिए कुछ भी नहीं किया। इसी वजह से न तो दिल्ली को सीसीटीवी मिले, न फ्री वाई-फाई मिला, न बसें मिलीं, न नए स्कूल-कॉलेज और अस्पताल मिले।
NDTV- BJP To Burn Advertisements Of AAP Government To Show Its “Failures”
NEW DELHI: The BJP hit back at the ruling Aam Aadmi Party in Delhi over its demand for full statehood to the city, on Tuesday, with Union minister Vijay Goel saying he will lit a symbolic bonfire of "unfulfilled promises and failures" of the Arvind Kejriwal government.
Mr Goel slammed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the issue of full statehood, saying there was "no possibility of statehood owing to antics and drama of Kejriwal."
Earlier on Tuesday, Mr Kejriwal charged BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of "betraying" people on the issue of full statehood to Delhi. He said he and other senior party leaders will burn the BJP manifesto which promised full statehood to Delhi, at AAP office on Wednesday.
Both Mr Tiwari and Mr Goel charged the AAP with raising the full-statehood issue to hide "failures and unfulfilled promises" of its government in Delhi.
