Vijay Goel, MP has stated that 20 persons have prepared this Ladoo of 731 Kg in 2 days of hard labour and it was equal to 14,000 MotichoorLadoos. Union Minister of Small and medium industries minister, ShriKalraj Mishra, BJP National Vice-President ShriShyamJaju and MP Vijay Goel have presented this 731 Kg Ladoo and flagged off the Run for Development.
ShriGoel has stated that flags of 57 schemes of Modi Government were fixed on the Ladoo and it was distributed among the people as a ‘Prasad’ of Modi government’s schemes in the same manner in which these schemes are to be taken to common man in small villages and towns.
Union Minister ShriKalraj Mishra has said that under the leadership of Prime Minister ShriNarendraModi, the country constantly leading towards development and crores of people are getting benefits of his far reaching schemes. The main features of this government are corruption free administration, decision taking capability and transparent machinery.

Commenting on Kejriwal, ShriGoel has said that it is a saying like ‘KhisianiBilliKhambaNoche’. Now, he is taking about expenditure on publicity propaganda of Modi government’s schemes whereas his government itself in the guise of Odd-Even scheme has spent crores of rupees unnecessary on its publicity propaganda by giving advertisements not only in Delhi but on advertisements in Kerala, Karnataka, Odisa and Tamilnadu also.
Modiji’s schemes are ultra-modern hence their publicity-propaganda is very essential to deciminate information in regard there to publicity propaganda by the Union government in the entire county can be well understood, but publicity-propaganda by a state government in other states is nothing but wastage of public money.
Shrigoel has stated that a grand exhibition on Modi government’s two years achievements and schemes well he organized on 5th June at Talkatora Stadium and thousands of people will get benefits from it.

Goel to meet Delhi chief Secretary and ask for the details of expenditure incurred by Kejriwal government recently on Odd-even scheme -2
A delegation led by Senior BJP leader and MP Vijay Goel would meet the chief secretary of Delhi on Monday at Delhi secretariat and ask for the details of the expenditure incurred by the Kejariwal government in the name of odd-even scheme-2 on advertisements recently.
This is the first visit of Mr Goel on an issue of the people of Delhi to the Delhi Secretariat after the AAP government came to power in the city. He said that the Kejariwal government had spent crores of rupees of Delhi tax payers’ money for the publicity of the chief minister and in his image building exercise. This expenditure is totally unproductive and wasteful as not a single report, be it of National Green Tribunal, Central pollution Control Board or CRRI, has so far substantiated the chief minister’s claim that the pollution level in the capital has gone down.
Surprisingly the advertisements have been published in the local languages of Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Goa and other states. He has questioned the motive of the AAP government behind this exercise. This is clearly an attempt not only to fool the people of Delhi but also of the entire country, Mr Goel has said. Even, a committee constituted by the Delhi government on Odd-even scheme has raised many questions. This clearly proves the findings of the Lok Abhiyan Samiti which categorically stated in the beginning that 80 percent people of the capital were upset by this scheme. He has challenged the Kejriwal government if it has courage to implement the Odd-even sheme-3.
He has stated that the people of Delhi had given a massive mandate to the AAP. But it is playing on their emotions. Instead of concentrating on the developmental work the Kejriwal government is trying to divert their attention from it by indulging in gimmicks. The AAP had made many promises on water, electricity, free wi-fi, and building new schools and colleges but now it has forgotten them.

NGT and the report of Delhi Govt. Committee itself stated Odd-Even scheme a failure
Vijay Goel, MP has said that the question regarding Odd-Even scheme raised by us first of all that an amount of Rs. 100 crore of taxpayers of Delhi was wasted, the same question has been asked today by the National Green Tribunal from Aam Aadmi Party Government that the publicity fund could be utilized for good work of development.
Shri Goel has said that Kejriwal government’s Odd-Even scheme has proved a fraud towards the people of Delhi. All the reports coming in that regard show that odd-Even scheme has failed and Kejriwal government itself is the highest reason for its failure, which has not chalked out any proper scheme and without any consideration made an announcement in this regard simply to get self publicity and propaganda.
Shri Goel has made an appeal to lakhs of people of Delhi that they should not purchase second car or second hand scooter because of scare of implementation of Odd-Even scheme for the third time, because neither Kejriwal government can manage it properly not it has courage to implement it again.
Shri Goel has said that NGT has put straight question before Aam Adami Party government and pollution control board and asked the Delhi Govt. as to what expect level of pollution came down and what was the level of pollution before and after implementation of Odd-Even Scheme.
Shri Goel has said that NGT has asked why government has not taken any action regarding spread of pollution due to dust, burning of garbage, industrial smoke, biogas, etc.?
Shri Goel has said that the committee set up by Delhi government itself has exposed Kejriwal government. The special committee constituted by Delhi govt. in this regard has clearly stated that Odd-Even scheme proved a failure because schools were open, there were no vacations, people did not adopted carpooling, 3 lakh 88 thousand additional car came on the road and the number of two-wheelers was increased by 1 Lakh 34 thousand, the number of CNG 30 thousand. What was Delhi govt. doing at that time ? Why it has made an announcement in hurry.
Shri Goel has said that it is a well-known fact that it was done simply to put self-advertisements. Shri Goel has said that the Government tell how much money of people has been spent on Odd-Even and under which rule govt. has challaned people for Rs. 2000/-. Government must refund challan money to the affected persons.

If Odd Even 3 is implemented without adequate preparedness then there would be a protest in Ramlila Maidan
MP Vijay Goel said that a survey should be done under the guidance of the Supreme Court or Election commission, which shall put forward the view of people of Delhi with respect to the next Odd Even scheme.
Mr. Goel said that is again Odd Even 3.0 is implemented without adequate infrastructure and public transport then on the scheme’s very first day there would be a rally in Ramlila Maidan by Lok Abhiyaan to strongly protest against it
Mr. Goel said that post Odd Even 1.0 without any survey that actually reflected the opinion of the public Odd Even 2.0 was implemented by the Kejriwal government, and due to this the people od Delhi had to face immense troubles.
Mr. Goel said that the Chief Justice himself raised concerns as to why was Odd Even not successful? He said that despite Odd even why hasn’t pollution and the quality of air improved in Delhi even though trucks had also been re routed during this time?
Mr. Goel said that he would ask the Central government and the Supreme Court to form a committee on Pollution and Environment related matters. The aim of this committee would be to assess whether there is enough preparedness by the Delhi government before enforcing Odd Even 3.0 or is it again just a tool for publicity. Only when the committee is satisfied and gives a nod that there is adequate public transport and other modes of commute, only then will the third phase of the scheme be implemented.
Mr. Goel said that the government should answer that exactly how much has been spent on odd even 2.0? Whether 100 crores was spent on the advertisements of Odd Even 2.0 and if not then the publicity budget of the scheme should be made public. Pollution level reports by various agencies should also be made public. Why were 30% news cars bought due to Odd even?
Mr. Goel said that RWAs, NGOs, Traders associations, community organization etc. would join the protest at Ramlila Maidan. Meetings shall be held in parks in the morning and Odd Even 3.0 shall not be allowed to be implemented forcefully.
Full statehood for Delhi like Odd Even – 2 is a new drama
MP Vijay Goel said that to hide the failures of Odd Even 2, CM Kejriwal has a second optic planned i.e. a draft bill for full statehood to Delhi for which he claims to be waiting for public comments. People of Delhi want solutions to their problems, whether it is with full statehood or not, that is not what the public is bothered with.
Mr. Goel said that is Kejriwal was serious then he would have focused on building consensus with various political parties. This is because to let Delhi have full statehood a constitutional amendment is required and thus needs a 2/3rd majority to pass in both the houses of parliament.
Mr. Goel said that the AAP has just 4 MPs and the manner in which Mr. Kejriwal keeps clashing with various parties, union government, lieutenant governor, police commissioner etc. does showcase that he is serious about getting Delhi a full statehood. They are currently not even running half the state, I doubt how will they run an entire state.
Mr. Goel criticized the drama of sending 10 lakh waters to Latur when people in Delhi do not have sufficient water. The recent fire at National Museum of Natural history has exposed the reality of the fire department by the Delhi government. Odd even forced 30% of people to buy new cars. Neither traffic nor pollution reduced and 100cr was spent unnecessarily on publicity of this scheme.
Mr. Goel said that there a lot of problems in Delhi. The need of the hour is to have good coordination between the Centre government, various departments, MCD and all political parties to resolve these issues. Getting full statehood for Delhi is also a new drama, where if it fails then the blame will be put on the BJP that is not letting the bill pass. Whereas the reality would be that seeing the uncooperative behavior of Kejriwal, the parliament might not want to pass the bill.

Public fails the Odd Even scheme in a survey conducted by Lok Abhiyaan as 68% respondents label it unsuccessful
MP Vijay Goel released a survey conducted with around 4700 participants on the issues of Odd Even 2.0. As the second phase was implemented without adequate planning and preparedness, people have overwhelmingly rejected the scheme this time according to the survey. The survey finds that 68% of the people have labeled the scheme a fail in its second phase.
People have been cheated in both the phases of the scheme. In the first phase of Odd Even i.e. Jan 1 to 15, all 15 days there were school holidays, apart from that if we add the weekend, Lohdi and Makar Sankranti, then government employees, small and large businesses and markets had holidays for 6 days. Similarly, in the second phase of Odd Even if one considers the weekend and other festive holidays then there were 6 holidays when government offices, small and large businesses and the big markets of the city were closed. Despite this, people have rejected the scheme.
Mr. Goel said that the day transport minister Mr. Gopal Rai said that the BJP is behind all of the following mishaps during the scheme such as fire at the Bhalswa Jahangirpuri landfill site, breaking down of buses, auto rickshaws strike, traffic jams on roads; it proved that even the Delhi government feels that the scheme has failed and out of fear they are blaming other parties. Mr. Rai had said that do a public survey, then I would like to say that here is the survey and the public verdict along with it.
Mr. Goel said that people would aggressively oppose the government from the very beginning if in future they implement the phase three of the scheme with such poor planning.
Reasons that emerge from the survey owing to which people are unhappy with the scheme
Started without adequate preparedness 2. Exempted categories without any application of mind 3. Twice the registration of CNG cars 4.Expenditure of crores of rupees of tax money on self – publicity 5. Increased sales of scooter that are in dreadful condition that pollute the most 6. Exploitation by Uber and Ola 7.Difficulties while dropping kids to school 8. Using the more polluting taxi instead of one’s own car 9. All agencies including the CPCB show that pollution has increased 10. People less confident as the Delhi government was busy blaming others 11. People had to travel in overcrowded buses and metros and be pushed around 12. Terror of paying a fine of Rs.2000 13. Public transport especially buses were not increased 14. Other major sources of pollutions were ignored
Mr. Goel said the government is thoroughly confused. Labels it as a success on one day and the very next blames others for the failures of the scheme. CM and other ministers themselves resort to tokenism and do drama for a day. People’s biggest concern is not that whether this scheme would get a third phase or not but the fact that because of this scheme the additional 30% cars that Delhiites have bought will add to already congested roads post 30th April.
Goel will himself make people fill the survey form on Odd Even scheme at Rajiv Chowk Metro station
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:

Lok Abhiyaan will conduct a survey on Odd Even scheme to gauge public opinion
Member of Parliament Mr. Vijay Goel declared that 400 LokAbhiyaan volunteers would survey people across 14 districts in Delhi on Monday 25th April on the question of Odd even scheme being a boon or bane. Volunteers wearing a green T -shirt (symbolic of the environment) would be given a survey form which would be filled by people of Delhi on various busy crossroads of the city in order to get their view on various issues relating to the Odd Even scheme.
Mr. Goel said that the major questions in the survey form would be – whether there has been a decrease in pollution during Odd Even 2.0, if traffic reduced? if you were cheated by autos or taxis, whether its legitimate for the government to spend crores of rupees on publicity, whether your woes have increased or decreased due to Odd Even 2.0, what vehicle do you drive?, how many cars do you have?, whether you feel the Delhi government had enough preparedness for the scheme?,, have you recently purchased a new car? Is the scheme a success or a fail? And finally if you want the scheme to repeat or not?
Mr. Goel said that all questions would be answered in either a ‘yes or no’ format so that maximum number of people can be surveyed.
Mr. Goel said that yesterday he had requested the Delhi government to conduct a survey by itself to ask the opinion of the people. But, as the government is scared of the response, LokAbhiyaan is conducting the survey.
Mr. Goel said that his efforts would be to ask the opinion of the people and finish the survey before the scheme ends.
