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.

Union Minister and Former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel carried out 10km long Padyatra with Dhol in Karol Bagh along with hundreds of party workers, against  corruption, conspiracy and alliance between the Aam Aadmi Party and the Congress.
 
 Goel said the Dhol Padyatra received a rousing welcome, and the enthusiasm of Karol Bagh and the party workers about the campaign tells that the people of Delhi have made up their minds to make Shri Narendra Modi our Prime Minister again in 2019. Goel said that Kejriwal and his coterie know that they would never come back to power again and so they are trying every dirty trick possible to win the elections. Even if it means spending taxpayers’ money on false publicity or joining hands with the same Congress whose tales of corruption were repeatedly told by Kejriwal during the assembly polls. Goel said that desperate to forge an alliance, both the corrupt parties are indulging in closed-door conspiracies which he shall expose amid people of Delhi through the Dhol Andolan.
 
Goel also said that many residents of the unauthorized colonies have come to meet him to express their happiness over yesterday’s cabinet decision to constitute a committee to look into the process of conferring them the ownership or transfer rights. Goel congratulated the residents and expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi on behalf of all the residents of unauthorized colonies for taking this big decision. Goel said his long struggle to get unauthorized colonies regularized has finally borne fruit. In the past four years, the AAP government has failed to provide any relief to the people living in unauthorized colonies; finally, it is the Modi government which intervened and came to their rescue. Goel said the residents of unauthorized colonies have now realized that the day the BJP forms its government in Centre and in Delhi, they would have their ownership rights secured.
 
Extending the greetings for International Women’s Day to the women of Delhi and the country, Goel said the Modi government has taken numerous steps for the rights and welfare of the half of our population. Be it- free gas connections to 6 crore women, 10 crore Mudra loans to women for financial empowerment, permanent commission for women in the armed forces, provision of death penalty for girl’s rape or triple talaq bill to ensure gender equality for Muslim women, the Modi government stands committed to the safety, respect and empowerment of women. On the other hand, unfortunately, even after being in power for past four years, the Kejriwal government is still to fulfill its poll promise on women’s safety- 15 lakh CCTV cameras, 15,000 marshals on buses, 47 fast track courts to deal with crimes against women. Goel asked, what hope shall the Delhi’s women have from the party whose ministers and MLAs are frequently found to be involved in crimes against women?

Former Union Minister and former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel visited 800-year old, renowned Gauri Shankar Temple in Chandni Chowk today on the occasion of Mahashivratri, and sought blessings of Mahadeva for the peace and happiness of the nation.
 
On the auspicious occasion of Mahashivratri, Goel wished people of Delhi and the nation. “Greetings of Mahashivratri to one and all, and pray Mahadev to bestow bliss and peace upon his followers. Bhole baba ki jai,” said Goel.
 
Goel also performed ‘Mahashivratri Puja’ along with his wife at the temple, and prayed for the welfare of the nation and its people. He remembered the supreme sacrifices of the Pulwama martyrs and said the entire nation is proud of its brave soldiers.
 
Goel said the drastic transformation that the country has witnessed in the past five years is due to the series of the development initiatives taken by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. These initiatives are strengthening the country on every front, and I pray to the Lord Shiva to give more strength to Modiji for the continued growth and prosperity of the nation, Goel said.
 

Union Minister and Former BJP Delhi President Vijay Goel, while addressing hundreds of party workers in Vijay Sankalp Bike Rally, said Arvind Kejriwal is begging for an alliance with Sheila Dikshit, whom he once accused of being corrupt and promised to throw her behind the bars. Kejriwal came to power in Delhi riding on corruption allegations against the Congress and for the past four years, the Congress has been accusing the Kejriwal government of indulging in corruption.
 
What could be more shameful than the fact that for long period both the power-hungry parties had been having meetings to forge an alliance? Goel said that though the Aam Aadmi Party has announced its candidates, behind-the-doors both the parties are still ready to come together.
 
Goel said that yesterday the Chief Minister of Delhi showed his true colors when he commented that the Bharatiya Janata Party wanted to win the Lok Sabha elections over dead bodies of our soldiers.
 
Goel also said that on one hand, the people of India are standing with the armed forces and the government, on another hand, Kejriwal has been cursing the BJP with all his might because ever since the Modi government gave a befitting reply to Pakistan, his political career has been finished. Kejriwal is insulting the valor of the armed forces.
 
Goel himself rode the bike today along with hundreds of party workers and led the Vijay Sankalp Bike Rally from Samaj Mandir, Seva Nagar chowk. Standing amidst them, Goel said that the BJP is set to form the next government under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.
 
Goel said that all the party workers salute our soldiers through the bike rally. Goel said that it is now clear that the Modi government would not shy from taking bold steps in the interest of the country, be it declaring demonetization, implementing the GST, or dealing with terrorism. He emphasized that only the Modi government should be formed which can work on every front with firmness and determination. A weak government cannot lead the country.
 
Goel also said that those who have been commenting on the foreign trips of PM Modi would have got their answers by now that it was only due to Modi government’s diplomatic efforts that all major countries in the world are standing with India today.
