The Delhi unit of BJP will see some drastic changes in the pattern of ticket distribution this forthcoming Assembly polls. Making winnability the sole criteria, newly appointed Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel has decided that even sitting councillors who have the potential to win will be considered for seats in ticket distribution.

Sounding the poll bugle at his maiden press conference as the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) Delhi unit chief, Vijay Goel unfolded the issues his party will use to challenge the incumbent Congress in the assembly elections later this year. Power remained on top of his list as he promised to cut electricity tariff by 30%. “We will reduce power tariff by 30% the day we assume power in Delhi,” Goel said.

Delhi BJP chief Vijay Goel on Tuesday said the party has started working for the development of 40 lakh people living in unauthorised colonies, 30 lakh in JJ colonies, 10 lakh in slums and 5 to 10 lakh in villages.Goel warned Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit against raising the power tariff again. He said BJP will reduce the power tariff by 30 per cent. "In BJP-ruled states like Gujarat, rates have not been raised for 12 years," he said. 

People should cut use of power if they cannot afford high electricity tarifff, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said today, a prescription that evoked criticism. Under attack for the hike in power tariff, Dikshit also sought to justify it, saying the increase in cost of power production has led to the rise in electricity rates.
