Union Minister Vijay Goel expressed joy with the decision of the Delhi Government to grant 85% reservation of seats in Delhi government colleges for city students. The decision if approved will apply on all 28 colleges under the Delhi government. Goel said that it is a personal victory for his 5 year long struggle.
 
Speaking on the issue Goel stated, “I had been demanding this for a very long time and had conducted several meetings, dharnas and interactions with young students over the years”. Goel had met Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia, HRD Minister and the Vice Chancellor last year with a memorandum demanding the reservation for Delhi students.
 
Goel further stated, “I’m happy with the decision but the implementation will take a year more. Had the Delhi government taken my decision seriously last year considering the future of our students, the system would have been in effect from the current academic year.” “I guess they assumed that Vijay Goel would get the credit and refrained from implementation last year”, Goel added.
 
The Delhi Assembly on Thursday adopted a resolution seeking percent reservation in admission for city students in Delhi University colleges that are funded by the AAP government as all MLAs pledged to raise the issue with the Centre, LG and university administration.The resolutions, moved by Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, were passed by voice vote.

The Monsoon Session of Parliament will start from July 18 and end on 10th August. Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Shri Vijay Goel said that 68 Bills in the Lok Sabha and 40 Bills in the Rajya Sabha are pending and hence it is very necessary for the opposition to cooperate in passing these important Bills during 18-days Monsoon Session.

Shri Goel said the last Budget session was a complete wash-out. The productivity of Rajya Sabha was only 8% and in Lok Sabha the productivity was only 4%. For this upcoming session, it should no longer be accusations and counter-accusations but rather on cooperating each other and determine how much work will be done in Parliament. He said that important pending Bills such as the Muslim Marriage (Protection of Marriage Rights) Bill, 2017, the Motor Vehicles (Amendment) Bill, 2017, the Constitution (123rd Amendment) Bill, 2017 and the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 2013 need to be passed during the Session for the larger interest of the nation.

Shri Goel said that when Delhi is facing acute crisis with respect to Pollution, Water and Electricity, the Delhi CM has forcefully occupied LG office leaving aside all the official responsibilities.
 
Shri Goel said that a Chief Minister who runs from his responsibilities and back to back insults the Constitution of India has no right to stay as a Chief Minister and should be immediately removed.Shri Goel informed that this demand is not only from his side but also from the people of Delhi who are facing punishment for helping in forming the Aam Admi Party Government.Delhi has gone thirty years back on the scale of development.
 
Shri Goel has said that Kejriwal Government asserts that in the list three years they have not been allowed to work, that means they agree they have done no work.It implies that this Government has no right to stay even for a minute.
 
Shri Goel said that when leaders of AAP use abusive words for the Prime Minister and use words like ‘Thulla’ for the constable then how do they expect that the people will cooperate with them.First they physically assault Government officials and even the Chief Secretary is not spared and then they use unacceptable and abusive words for the LG.Simultaneously they also expect that the LG should instruct officers to cooperate with them.
 
Shri Goel said that the officers of the Delhi Government are not on strike and are doing their work despite the low morale environment prevailing in Delhi Government.Goel informed that Kejriwal has even stopped the necessary funding of all the three Municipal Corporations.His main mantra is ‘not to do any work and will not let anyone to do their work’.FIR would have been filed by the Police in case any other person would have forcefully occupied the LG’s office.Till now LG has maintained patience keeping in mind the sanctity of the CM post on one side Kejriwal appeals for intervention of the Prime Minister and on the other he criticises the PM and calls for ‘Gherao’.
 
Shri Goel said that one should remember after winning the polls in Delhi by the AAP Government, it has not been able to win election in Goa, Punjab and three MCDs.

: Former Delhi BJP President and Union Minister Shri Vijay Goel today organized a Chai Pe Charcha (Discussion over tea) at his residence with scores of slum dwellers from various Delhi slums to understand their problems and issues that have been ignored by the Kejriwal led Delhi government. The slum dwellers voiced their opinion on the current condition and prevailing scenario in their respective slums and how the conditions have transformed from bad to worse in recent times. 
During today’s Chai Pe Charcha it was proved that the Kejriwal led AAP has failed to provide clean drinking water, sanitation levels in these particular areas have declined causing serious and grave health issues. There is lack of any proper education system for the young ones of these slums and that puts a further question mark on their future. Noor Alam from Chilla area slum near Mayur Vihar voiced his concern regarding illegal alcohol being sold in the area that has led to increase in crime rates and many more social issues. Santosh from Lakshmibai Nagar raised the similar issue of alcohol, drugs and gambling in the area along with civic issues like lack of sanitation and almost zero water supply. Many other slum dwellers raised their voice on Kejriwal’s lack of interest in resolving their issues.
 
Goel said that he will very soon initiate a “Slum Padyatra” to highlight the problems faced by these slum dwellers and how Kejriwal has failed to live up to the expectations and broken multiple promises made during elections.
Goel further stated that on one hand the Narendra Modi led government at the Centre is leaving no stone unturned to uplift and empower marginalized and weaker sections while on the other hand, Kejriwal led AAP which had promised a number of amenities for the slum dwellers has done nothing other than wasting public money on publicity and fake propaganda to show a picture that is not reflected on-ground.
