Rajya Sabha MP and former BJP Delhi President Shri Vijay Goel today congratulated AAP Chief Arvind Kejriwal for getting public’s mandate and scoring a victory in Delhi. Shri Goel also said that BJP will review their defeat in Delhi and will surely make us strong.

Shri Goel said, “We accept Delhi’s choice with all humility. We stand committed to make Delhi a world class city and to ensure that BJP in Delhi will ensure constructive cooperation to AAP Government.”
He further added that Party workers should not feel demoralized about this loss and strive to work even more hard from here on. BJP has always been committed to work for the welfare of people of Delhi and do whatever it takes to ensure development. BJP is a pro-people, pro-development organization and even the government in Centre has committed itself to give maximum support possible.

Shri Goel said, “The results of these elections are indeed shocking. But those who are blaming and questioning Party President Shri Amit Shah’s leadership are forgetting that after Lok Sabha elections, BJP won Assembly Elections across many states under him. Results of these elections are a lesson for us and we will review our performance and this will make us stronger.”

Rajya Sabha MP and Former BJP Delhi President Shri Vijay Goel today welcomed Former IPS and Social Activist Smt. Kiran Bedi’s decision to join Bharatiya Janata Party.
 
On this occasion Shri Goel said, “Smt. Kiran Bedi is an inspiration for many, not just in India, but across the world. She comes with years of administrative experience. She has dedicated 40 years of her life, serving public and the country and party will greatly benefit from her experience.”
 
He further added that I am certain that under her guidance and leadership, BJP will score a massive victory in the upcoming elections and Delhi will grow leaps and bounds.

Rajya Sabha MP and Former BJP Delhi President Shri Vijay Goel today congratulated BJP candidates for securing 5 seats out of 8 seats in Delhi Cantonment Board elections. This victory of Bharatiya Janata Party has set the mood for upcoming Delhi Elections which will be held on February 7, 2015.
 
Shri Goel said, “The cantonment area comprises of people from different strata of the society be it from JJ clusters or army background. BJP securing over 2/3rd seats in these elections clearly signifies that people want a stable, good government in Delhi. I am sure that people will give a clear mandate to Bharatiya Janata Party to ensure all round development in the city and to help create a ‘new’ Delhi.”
 
He further added that AAP and Congress have always indulged in smear campaign by making false accusations. Today those spreading lies cannot be defeated by anybody but the people.
 
Shri Goel said, “I congratulate all the candidates for scoring a massive victory in Delhi Cantonment Board Elections. I also thank party workers for reaching out to every nook and corner in the area for success in these elections.”

Thousands of young boys and girls today participated in ‘Jhuggi Jhopdi Ka Vikas, Daudo Modi Ke Saath’ run which was organized by BJP Delhi. This run was lead by MP and Former BJP Delhi President Shri Vijay Goel and MP Shri Udit Raj. 
 
Shri Goel is overseeing election campaign work which directly impacts over 30 lakh people living in JJ clusters across Delhi. The turnout was indeed a reflection of hope that people from JJ clusters across Delhi have from Modi Government.
 
On this occasion Shri Goel said, “AAP and Congress have always indulged in false accusations to lure people for vote bank. BJP has focused its appeal on 5 major problems in these areas. Firstly, we promise to build houses for Jhuggi-Jhopri dwellers at the site of their slum only. Secondly, everyone will be issued ‘Ration Cards’ and people will also be given sugar and cooking oil. Thirdly, taking forward Modiji’s initiative, toilets will be built in every household. Cheaper electricity and water supply for every home will be made available in these areas.”
 
Shri Goel said, “Policemen or any other official personnel caught taking bribe from JJ dweller or street vendor, will be duly punished. For this purpose, a team of youth will be formed to keep an eye around.”
 
Shri Udit Raj said, “Participation of thousands of youth validates that people cannot be easily influenced and I am pleased to see the response we are getting. I reinstate Modiji’s commitment; every JJ dweller will be given a house in place of their slum dwelling.  In the last 15 years, Congress Government did nothing for people living in JJ clusters.
 
BJP Vice President Shri Jai Prakash said, “Campaign in JJ clusters across Delhi is in full swing and we are trying to solve the tiniest of problems being faced by them. On coming to power in Delhi, we will ensure that people from JJ clusters get maximum employment.

People living in JJ clusters across Delhi will be given concrete houses on coming to power in Delhi. BJP today flagged off ‘Jhuggi-Jhopdi Vikas Rath’ at Race Course Road, chanting slogans of ‘Jahaan Jhuggi, Wahin Makaan’.
 
Keeping in mind Delhi Elections and problems of people living in JJ clusters, the information was given by Incharge of JJ clusters and Former BJP Delhi President and MP Shri Vijay Goel.
 
Shri Goel said, “The “Vikas Rath’ was flagged off by Delhi Incharge Shri Prabhat Jha MP, BJP Delhi President Shri Satish Upadhyay and National Secretary Shri Shyam Jaju. The van will take BJP’s message to every JJ colony in the city.
 
Giving more details about ‘Vikas Rath’, Shri Goel said, “Bolero cars have been converted to these campaign vans which have two LEDs fixed on it. These screens will run information about various programmes launched by Modi govt like Jan Dhan Yojana, Swacch Bharat Abhiyaan etc and will show work that will be done by BJP in these colonies, on coming to power in Delhi. The van has the platform from where public can be addressed while going from colony to colony.”
 
Shri Prabhat Jha said, “This ‘Vikas Rath’ is our victory van and it will promote facilities to be given in JJ clusters on coming to power. It will also shed light on how Congress and AAP misguided the people of Delhi.”
 
 Shri Satish Upadhyay said, “BJP will resolve problems of water, electricity and ration, on coming to power in Delhi.”
 
Shri Goel said, “There is a BJP Govt in the centre and if there will be a BJP Govt in the state, a good rapport between the centre-state govt will lead to holistic development. Just how Unauthorized Colonies have been authorized, people living in JJ clusters will also be given a home.

Rajya Sabha MP and Former President BJP Delhi Shri Vijay Goel welcomed the step taken by Modi Government to provide much needed relief to inhabitants of unauthorized colonies. The Cabinet recently approved an amendment to the existing guidelines that enables regularization of all unauthorized colonies that have come up till June 1, 2014.
 
Shri Goel said, “The amendment brings much needed respite to over 60 lakhs people by giving legal status to at least 1,939 such colonies.” He further added that in August, 2008 under the banner of ‘Federation of Unauthorized Colonies’ he had launched a mass movement to ensure regularization of such colonies. He says, “It is the result of our hardwork and persistence, I gladly welcome this amendment.”
 
Further to this, Shri Goel said that he is regularly doing blankets and old clothes donation drive across the national capital territory of Delhi. He has undertaken a mission to provide blankets and warm clothes for Delhi’s homeless and made an appeal to public to donate such items which would provide them some relief in such harsh weather conditions.

People, who are unable to visit the ‘Lok Abhiyan’ office, can request for van collection from the home or office. Such requests can be made by contacting us on 011-23722020.”

Shri Goel said, “People from across Delhi have written to me on Twitter and Facebook to speak with officials to ensure street lights function properly across the city. In such harsh weather conditions when visibility is close to negligible, it’s all the more imperative to ensure proper lighting on roads to safeguard people from potential road mishaps.”
 
He further added that the other day while travelling through BRT corridor the stretch near Chirag Delhi Flyover, I noticed that none of the lights were functioning. Many accidents have been reported at BRT corridor in the past. We must take immediate steps to ensure that lack of proper lighting doesn’t lead to any such incidents.
 
Urge all responsible citizens of Delhi to donate their old clothes, shoes and blankets for the city’s homeless and needy at the nearest night shelters.
