A high level meeting of  Delhi BJP leaders has been convened on  January 29 at Delhi BJP office to finalise the programme for launching of “Ek Note, Bhajpa ko Vote” campaign  for Lok Sabha 2014. 
In a statement issued today, the Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay  Goel said, “The BJP will be launching this door-to-door campaign as a part of the national campaign of the party conceived as “ek note, ek vote.”  The party workers will try and visit every household in the capital with an appeal to vote and support the BJP in coming Lok Sabha polls.”
 
“We are focussing on all sections of the society. The party is getting an overwhelming support  especially from the women, the youth and the poor. The BJP will launch a series of programmes which will be deliberated upon over the next few days in view of the coming Lok Sabha polls,” he added.
 
“It is clear after the AAP has failed to deliver in the last one month in Delhi that  people would be looking up to the BJP to provide good governance. We would reach out to every household to reinforce their confidence  in us,” said Sh. Goel.
 
Slamming the AAP government for doing nothing during its one month rule Sh. Goel said, “Even the Delhi High Court has today expressed its unhappiness over the way AAP has handled the issue of providing shelters to the homeless during winters in Delhi.
 
According to various estimates around 174 homeless people have died in Delhi during these winters. The CM and his colleagues were busy in holding dharna and criticising media while people have been dying on roads in Delhi. The Delhi government has failed to fulfil its responsibility.”
 
Sh. Goel said that he would undertake a padyatra this week to expose the AAP’s inaction. There is no governance in Delhi. Doctors are being dragged out of operation theatres by AAP workers while in the middle of conducting surgeries, women are being misbehaved with, AAP ministers are using abusive language, AAP workers are being deployed at government schools which is illegal, officials are demonstrating inside the secretariat against this government while guest teachers are and many other groups are demonstrating outside. Anyone who is criticising AAP  is being manhandled, abused, threatened .
 
“This display of arrogance, authoritarianism and complete lack of sincerity towards key governance related issued has come as a shocker to all Delhi’ites. Large numbers of announcements have been made but there has been no respite for the common people.
 
“The BJP will not relent and continue to expose the inaction of AAP-Congress alliance. The party demands immediate removal of law minister and implementation of promises made by AAP,” said Sh. Goel.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party president today urged the young party cadres to work hard for BJP's victory in 2014 Lok Sabha polls.  
Addressing the meeting of volunteers and party cadres from Samvad and IT cell today Sh. Goel said, "The social media plays a key role in influencing opinion of voters. The BJP volunteers and cares should continue to highlight our nationalistic ideas and success stories of BJP ruled estates.
 
Sh. Goel who has been nominated as party's candidate for Rajya Sabha polls said, "I am grateful to the party for posing faith me. We all need to give our best to the party and take whatever responsibility is given with full commitment and humbleness."
 
"The growing base of youth is BJP's strength.But we further need to reach out to people and expose the anti-people policies of Congress and AAP, social media in effective tool for this purpose."
 
Sh. Goel urged the party activists to be cautious about the level of discourse on social media platforms.
 
"Our rivals believe in negativity, they often use abusive language. But we need to follow our own standards.BJP belives in positive agenda of good governance and development for All.That is the message which we have to take to the masses.
 
The volunteers also asked several questions about BJP's vision for Delhi. Sh. Goel said that, "Delhi is facing anarchy due to AAP's opportunistic alliance with Congress. A group of power hungry politicians have taken rule of law for granted. The law minister is the biggest 'law breaker' .Yet AAP top leadership is defending him.The BJP will continue with its campaign for removal of the law minister. The Social Media is a crucial part of our movement against AAP," said Sh. Goel.
 
Delhi BJP President greets  Delhi'ites on eve of Republic Day
 
Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel today greeted  Delhi'ites on the eve of 65th Republic Day. Sh. Goel said, "People of Delhi have played a major role in strengthening our democracy and I am sure they will continue to do so even with greater vigour.  One of the ways to do this to exercise the right to vote and I urge all Delhi voters to exercise their right in the coming Lok Sabha polls, I also salute the armed forces and the brave security personnel of our country on this occasion who make innumerable sacrifices so that we can continue to enjoy the fruits of living in a democratic republic."  

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party  today launched next phase of its agitation to demand removal and arrest of Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharati for his ‘illegal activities’ and in view of a number of cases registered against him.  A BJP delegation led by Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel also met Liuetenant Governor today and handed over a memorandum demanding immediate action against Bharati. The delegation also handed over the evidence of Congress’ former CM Sheila Dikshit’s role in CWG scam. 
Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel said, “There have been cases filed against Somnath Bharati for violating dignity of women, revealing name of Danish woman who was a gangrape victim. He has been indicted by a court in the past for professional misconduct. The BBJP asked the LG why no action is being taken against him and why he has not been arrested so far?”
 
“The BJP is not satisfied with the attitude of the LG as he is treating Bharati as a “Khaas Aadmi.” Had any other citizen committed such terrible crimes, he would have been behind bars immediately. Then why is such special treatment meted out to him.”
 
The BJP’s 14 district units held  dharna today across the city to expose the ‘anti-women’ character of  AAP government and the prevailing state of anarchy . The party will continue with its agitation titled “Congress-AAP alliance, Raaj nahin arajakta, somnath bharati  should be arrested.”  Unless Bharati is sacked and arrested.
 
The BJP delegation also called off the bluff of Arvind Kejriwal who is defending and protecting corrupt leaders from the Congress. “Kejriwal had aksed he has no proof to act against former CM Sheila Dikshit and her ministers for their corrupt practices and loot of public money during Commonwealth games. A BJP committee headed by Ms Pinky Anand  has collated the evidence and we have handed  it over to the LG, said Sh. Goel.
 
The BJP delegation urged the LG to immediately order Delhi CM to initiate against Dikshit and former Congress ministers on the basis of this evidence. “It is the same Arvind  Kejriwal who was  claiming to have a 370 page chargesheet against Sheila Dikshit and now in lieu of the support from Congress to form his government , he has taken an about turn,” said Sh. Goel.
 
The BJP strongly feels that the way Somnath Bharati has been protected and the corrupt Congress leaders are being defended is a clear case of the “anarchy” in the city. The AAP government is leading the state to the situation of a constitutional breakdown where corrupt are protected and hapless  people are being at the receiving end of the arrogance, misbehaviour and  irresponsible behaviour of AAP leaders.
 
“The law must be applied to all equally.  But that is not happening. The rule of law has to be restored in the city. That would be done only when a ‘law-breaker’ law minister is sacked and arrested. Similarly, the ‘big fish’ who have made pocketed crores of rupees of public money should also be brought to the book,” said Sh. Goel.
 
“The way AAP has given clean chit to Bharati is a clear indication that it is a party of “khaas aadmi” which  is ready to bend rules of law to serve the ‘power elite’,” said Sh. Goel.
 
The delegation that met the LG comprised  among others of former Delhi BJP Presidents Sh. Mangeram  Garg and Sh. Vijender Gupta,  senior party leader Prof. Jagdish Mukhi BJP national secretaries Sh. Shyam Jaju and Ms Arti Mehra, legislators Ramesh Bidhuri, Pawan Sharma, MS Bisht,  Delhi BJP general  secretaries Shikha Rai and  Jaiprakash and Vijay Jolly.

A delegation of  Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party  led by Sh. Vijay Goel met today Delhi Police Commissioner Sh. B.S. Bassi  to demand immediate action against Delhi Law Minister Somnath Bharati and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for repeatedly breaking the law. The delegation handed over a memorandum to Sh. Bassi regarding the same. 
Delhi BJP  President Sh. Vijay Goel said that the BJP delegation raised the issue that why Police is treating Bharati and Kejriwal as ‘Khaas Aadmi” and no action is taken against them. Bharati has named a rape victim in an official statement issued from his office, he has also been named in an FIR by the Ugandan women after he misbehaved with them and tried to conduct an illegal raid, he has used abusive language against the public figures and yet  he has been not arrested so far. Similarly, Kejriwal violated section 144 of IPC repeatedly during his dharna at Ral Bhawan in full public view for two days and yet he has not been named in an FIR and no action has been initiated against him.
 
The police commissioner has assured us that all these matters are under investigation and the police is gathering evidence which would be produced in the court, said Sh. Goel.
 
“The BJP will not relent till Somnath Bharati is sacked and action is taken against Kejriwal. The party as a part of its agitation will be holding demonstrations and dharna in all its 14 district units tomorrow cross the city . Our message is very clear- “AAP-Congress ka gathjod- Raj nahin arajka, Somnath Bharti ko hatao(Congress-AAP alliance-No governance with anarchy everywhere; Remove Somnath Bharati immediately).
 
Sh. Goel  will be a part of  the agitation on Friday in Chandani Chowk, New Delhi and Malviya Nagar. Dr. Harsh Vardhan will lead it in Trans-Yamuna, Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, Sh.  Vijender Gupta and Aarti Mehra  will lead the BJP workers in  west Delhi,north Delhi and south Delhi respectively.
 
The delegation which met the Police Commissioner today comprised former Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijendra Gupta, BJP national secretary Ms Aarti Mehra, senior party leader Prof. Jagdish Mukhi, BJP general secretaries Sh. Ramesh Bidhuri, Smt Shikha Rai and Shri Jaiprakash, Sh, Ajay Digpaul, Sh. Anil Soni and Ash. Harish Khurana.
BJP delegation to meet LG  to handover evidence for corruption charges
A BJP delegation led by Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel and Leader of Opposition Dr. Harsh Vardhan will meet the Lieutenant Governor at 2:30 pm on Friday to hand over the evidence of corruption charges against former Chief Minister Sheila Dikishit and other  former ministers of Congress.
 
Sh. Goel said, “After the AAP-Congress Alliance government came into power in Delhi , the AAP government is protecting the Congress leaders on the issue of corruption. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is now saying he has no evidence against the Congress leaders. It is clear that he is returning the favour to them  for getting support to form the government.”
 
The BJP will expose this unholy alliance by submitting the evidence which has been well documented by various committees and institutions like Lokayukta and CAG in the past. “We will be asking the LG to issue directions to the AAP government to immediately proceed against the corrupt Congress leaders who looted Delhi with both hands for the last 15 years,” said Sh. Goel.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party today announced that all 14 district units of the party in Delhi will hold dharna to press for resignation of Law Minister Somnath Bharati for being the biggest ‘law breaker’ and to protest the anti-women, anti-development and anti-common people alliance of AAP and Congress. The dharna will be held on January 24. 
Addressing a press conference today, Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel said, “The people of Delhi are being held at ransom by AAP ministers and workers including the Chief Minister as we witnessed during the last couple of days.  Now AAP comprises of only “Khaas Aadmi” who have no time to think about real issues and problems affecting common people.
 
Congress leader Ajay Maken defended AAP yesterday and Congress continues to support them. The Chief Minister is returning this favour by not lodging any cases against corrupt Congress ministers and Chief Minister of the previous Congress government.
 
Following are some of the key issues that will be raised by the BJP on January 24:
 
1.       AAP-Congress are hand in glove.  They jointly staged the political drama that held Delhi’ites at ransom during the last two days.
2.       Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal , supported by Congress held people at ransom to protect law minister Law Bharati whose list of ‘illegalities’ is growing with every passing day. He has misbehaved with women, used foul language against others, has been indicted by a court for professional misconduct. He should be removed immediately
3.       This is an anti-women government. The ministers misbehave with women. A woman journalist was pushed around and injured by AAP supporters yesterday. Women guest teachers who came to meet Kejriwal with their demands yesterday were abused and pushed around.
4.       AAP has failed to deliver any of the promises which it made be it on power, water, CNG prices,corruption, women safety. All its announcements have been on paper. There has been no respite. Where is the women commando force which was promised? Why did the Chief Minister showed no urgency to meet Police Commissioner when a Danish women was gang raped.
5.       The common people are reeling under power cuts, lack of availability of water, higher water tariff, high power tariff and higher prices.
6.       The anticorruption moves have been an eyewash. The ‘big fish’ are left untouched.  No case of corruption has been taken up against former Congress ministers and the former Congress Chief Minister against whom ample evidence has been documented by CAG, Lokayukta and Shunglu Committee.
7.       Disrespect shown by AAP towards Republic Day celebrations. Its leaders should apologise.
8.       Misbehaviour of AAP ministers, use of abusive and foul language by them against all those who raise questions about the anarchy promoted by AAP government. The Chief Minister himself is taking a lead on this.
 
Addressing the press conference, leader of BJP in North Delhi Municipal Corporation Smt. Meera Aggarwal and South Delhi Municipal Corporation Mayor Smt. Sarita Chaudhary said, “This government is an anti-women government. The law minister misbehaved with the women. Women were abused and misbehaved with by AAP workers at dharna. And Chief Minister held Delhi’tes at ransom to protect his law minister who is anti-women.”
 
“The BJP will continue to expose the AAP-Congress alliance and its betrayal of Delhi’ites. Instead of handling people’s problems, the chief minister is making mockery of the governance. The BJP will continue to take up people’s real problems and issues and will fight for them,” said Shri Goel

Thousands of young men and women of Delhi  today protested at Jantar Mantar  under the banner of Delhi Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha demanding the resignation of Delhi Law Minister Somnatah Bharati for his “unlawful and anti-women activities. Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel, Delhi BJYM President Shri Gaurav Khari, Delhi BJP general secretaries Smt. Shikha Rai and Shri Jai Prakash were among those who were detained by the Delhi Police. 
Addressing the youth who had gathered at Jantar Mantar braving rains and cold, Shri Goel said, “It is deplorable that AAP with the support of Congress is holding whole Delhi at ransom to protect a minister who has misbehaved with women, has been indicted by court for professional misconduct as an advocate and has been taking law in his own hands.”
 
“Delhi Chief Minister and his colleagues are insisting on disrupting the Republic Day celebrations. They have no regard for our polity and sacred institutions like army. It is clear now that AAP is actually controlled and run by Maoists and they are targeting to disrupt the polity of this country. The aim of AAP is to create a situation  of anarchy which is a manifestation of  Maoist ideology,” he added.
 
“A greater cause of worry is that Congress is supporting AAP. It also shows the true character of these two parties-AAP and Congress. They can go to any extent to serve their own political interests. They are not bothered about the hardships faced by the people of Delhi due to disruptive show of arrogance in Central Delhi,” said Shri Goel.
 
“People want respite from inflation. They want cheaper power, clean water, good education, cheap rations, development in unauthorised colonies and nothing has been done by AAP government in this regard except making some flashy announcements. Arrogance and negativism is the hallmark of AAP-Congress alliance,” said Shri Khari wile addressing the gathering.
 
“AAp has done nothing to improve the safety of women in the city. Where is the commando force for women which was promised. Women are getting gangraped on Delhi streets and AAP is busy protecting its ministers who have become notorious for their highhandedness,” said Shri Goel.
 
The BJP will not allow this kind of anarchy in the city. “Either this government should work for people or it should go. It has no right to continue if it cannot work for people,” said Shri Goel.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party today slammed  AAP for staging a political drama to draw away attention of the people from real issues on which it has failed to deliver. The party condemned the AAP for causing hardship to thousands of Delhi’ites by blocking Central Delhi which resulted in closure of four metro stations for most of the day. The party also said that governance cannot be done from roads. The sanctity of the process of governance is being violated for petty political mileage by hogging headlines. 
To protest the breakdown of administrative machinery and pushing Delhi towards anarchy and to demand resignation of law minister Somanth Bharati for his illegal and unconstitutional activities and arrogance of AAP ministers and Chief Minister, the Delhi Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha will hold a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on Tuesday, 21 January.
 
Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel said, “AAP Chief Minister and his Ministerial colleagues have behaved in an extremely irresponsible manner. Instead of sacking the law minister Somnath Bharati who has misbehaved with women, has been indicted by court, Kejriwal and his ministers are sitting on dharna.”
 
“They have failed to deliver on areas which are in Delhi government’s domain such as power, water, development of JJ clusters and unauthorised colonies, education and transport. They have dumped the “Janta Durbars”. When their anti-corruption helpline flopped, they blamed the Anti Corrpution branch. There have been no orders on power tariff reduction so far. The ‘free water’ provision will benefit a few affluent families only,” he added.
 
“Kejriwal is Mr. U-Turn. He has taken an about turn on every promise. Now with an eye on 2014 Lok Sabha polls, he has left the governance on backburner and is doing political acrobatics,” he added.
 
Shri Goel said, “It is a bizarre situation where Congress and AAP are indulging in shadow boxing. AAP is running this government with Congress support and now both are criticising and holding dharna against each other. This clearly shows how opportunistic this alliance is.”

The Delhi  Bharatiya Janata Party today  said that its stand of demanding resignation of  Delhi law minister Somnath Bharati has been vindicated by the Court order of registering FIR  in the case involving Somnath Bharti and several other AAP  workers. 
Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel said, “After a court order of FIR in case involving Bharati along with several AAP workers, he should be removed immediately. He is a symbol of ‘AAP style of governance’ which is racist, discriminatory, violent and anarchic. The sooner Delhi’ites can get rid of AAP regime, the better it will be for the people.”
 
“The Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwals’s bluff of taking high moral ground on all issues is being called off now.  He is protecting his law minister who has emerged as the biggest                law-breaker’ in the government,” said pressing for immediate removal of Bharati fom the cabinet.
 
“Instead of taking action against his party leaders and ministers who are taking law in their own hands, the Chief Minister along with cabinet is trying to divert the attention of people from the real issues by s announcing a dharna against Union home ministry,” he added.
 
“What Kejriwal needs to do is to set his house in order.   While he continues to talk about political morality his words are much louder than his actions. Had he got even a slight bit of political morality, he would have sacked Bharati and some other ministers also for taking law in their own hands, behaving arrogantly and violating various norms of administration,” said Shri Goel.
 
Shri Goel said, “We are expecting that Bharati’s professional license to practice as an advocate will be cancelled on the basis of my complaint filed a few days ago. But that is not sufficient. The BJP wants him to resign.   Right from the day he has taken over as law minister, he has violated almost every rule in the rule book.”
 
“Bharati has already been indicted by a Delhi Court for professional misconduct and now today a court has asked to file an FIR in an incident in which he is one of the main perpetrators of crime.  His position is indefensible now. He is actually becoming a grave threat to Delhi residents. 

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party President Shri Vijay Goel today attacked Aam Admi party’s anarchic rule and doublespeak in his address to around 10,000 delegates of the BJP’s National Council at Ramlila Maidan. 
Addressing the delegates Shri Goel said, “There were three pillars of AAP’s poll campaign-  anti-corruption, anti-VIP culture and resolution of people’s problems. It has failed on all three fronts miserably. No corruption cases are lodged against Congressleaders who looted Delhi during their 15 years rule. The AAP ministers are taking bungalows and using government SUVs with VIP numbers. They have done away with initiatives like “Janata Darbar” and are not able to resolve even a single problem of common people.”
 
“It is clear that AAP is ‘B’ team of Congress as it has not lodged any complaint against former Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and others against whom there is clear evidence of corruption in commonwealth games as well as several other projects and schemes.”
 
Shri Goel said, “The contest in 2014 Lok Sabha polls will not be between BJP and UPA but it is between 10 years misrule of UPA and the common people who are  bearing the flak of high inflation, loss of jobs, poor growth and most of all  rampant corruption.”
 
“Today people want a leader who is strong, committed, honest and dedicated to serve them. Shri Narendra Modi has all these qualities, so he is the first choice of people.
 
“We have recently won assembly elections in three major states very handsomely and in Delhi also we emerged as the single largest party. Our workers in Delhi worked really hard.  We might have committed some mistakes in Delhi as we could not form the government on our own. But we are ready to rectify our mistakes,” he added.
 
“I can assure that in Mission 272 plus , the Delhi BJP will contribute by winning all 7 Lok Sabha seats,” said Shri Goel

The Bharatiya Janata Party ruled three municipal corporations will simplify the trade licenses procedure in days to come. The municipal corporations will ensure that the traders do not have to submit any No objection certificates and they can get a trade license by simply submitting an affidavit. 
The decision was taken at a meeting of the MCD leaders chaired by the Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel.  “We also discussed the ways and means to spruce up the sanitation in all wards in the city. Special inspections will be held to ensure proper sanitation and action,” said Shri Goel.
 
The BJP ruled MCDs have been asked to look into the problems and challenges faced by the street vendors. There are more than 3.5 lakh street vendors and a large number of them face problems. Street vendors are an integral part of the city’s socio-economic fabric. “We will streamline the system so that  they are not harassed,” said Shri Goel.
 
 
The BJP President emphasised the need to provide services to the doorstep. “We need to do away with inspector and license raj. The MCD leaders will look into various procedures and systems and find ways and means to ensure that quick, effective and transparent action is taken on all issues,” he added.
 
Shri Goel also announced that Ms Meera Agarwal has been appointed as the leader of the North Delhi Municipal Corporation. Shri Goel emphasised that the BJP councillors to be constantly in touch with people at the grassroots level and resolve their problems.
 
He said AAP-Congress alliance is increasingly becoming fragile due to the inner contradictions. The AAP-Congress alliance has failed to resolve issues concerning people.
 
“The BJP ruled municipal corporations should become the model municipal corporations so that people’s aspirations can be fulfilled.”
 
“We will be constantly monitoring the functioning of the MCDs and in days to come many more steps will be initiated to make them more and more people friendly. Improvement is a constant process and we will continue to strive towards that in the BJP ruled municipal corporations,” said Shri Goel.
 
The meeting was attended among others by leaders and standing committee chairpersons as well as mayors of the municipal corporations.
