Rajya Sabha MP and former Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel has urged the Delhi Lieutenant Governor Sh. Najeeb Jung to allow BJP ruled municipal Corporations to  create a ‘Single Window System’, wherein any resident, desirous of building on their land could do so by submitting the building plan which has been prepared and verified by an Independent Architect in compliance with the MCD rules / regulations along with an Affidavit.

Sh. Goel said, "I have written to LG that about two weeks ago,I had discussed the issue with   all three Mayors & Standing Committee Chapersons of the Municipal Corporations. They agreed that we should have a simpler system for granting permission for construction for plots upto 100 metres. Unlike the existing system in which residents have to get their drawings / plans pre-approved by the MCD before construction, the new system won't require such submission of plans."

Atleast 70% of Delhi resides in Houses which are situated on land measuring 100 meteres or less in size.

"It is felt, across the board, that there is a need to achieve a more transparent, easily accessible and people-friendly system, more in the nature of a ‘Single Window System’ for granting approvals to the lesser income group residents for carrying out construction on land measuring 100 metres," Said Sh. Goel in his letter to the LG.
 
"As the Municipal Corporations continues to strive and serve the people of Delhi, it will be a great gesture for the benefit of all residents falling in the bracket mentioned above, if the LG could allow Corporations to implement the ‘Single Window System’, This will ensure that the role of MCD would be limited, in that it would merely formulate the Guidelines with regard to the nature, type and manner of building, area that can be constructed etc. and thereafter, it would permit residents to carry out such construction without having to first seek approval of the Corporation.
 
It would be permissible for people to construct so long as they declare vide an Affidavit that the construction shall be in tandem with MCD’s building bye laws / rules / regulations and this fact is also supported by an Architect and his drawings.
 
Indeed, in the event it is found that a person has flouted the law / made wrong statements on oath by way of an Affidavit, the law would take it own course. It would be open to the MCD to demolish illegal structures in addition to taking any such measures as may be required under the law.

"I feel that such a policy intervention would be in the true interest of the people. It is my firm belief that gestures like this, will not only make MCD more accountable, check corruption and truly serve the people, but also will serve the aspirations and transform the dreams of people of the lower income group into reality," said Sh. Goel

The Delhi BJP's Poorvanchal Morcha held a demonstration at Delhi Secretariat today to protest AAP government's inaction on problems related to the Poorvanchali Community. 
Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel who led the demonstration said while addressing the party workers,"AAP government is busier in breaking all constitutional norms rather than working for people. The way Janlokpal bill is being presented shows that AAP is least interested in removing corruption, its objective is to hog limelight."
 
"The way Janlokpal bill has been brought violating legislative norms doesn't augur well for democracy. Had Kejriwal been honest in his intentions he would have sacked his infamous ministers- Somnath Bharati and Manish Sisodia," he added.
 
The fact is that Kejriwal has failed to deliver on his party's promises. And now he is looking for an exit route and an excuse to justify his government's non-performance. That is why he has been trying desperately to create a constitutional crisis.
 
Sh. Goel said, ''The BJP will continue to expose AAP and will not rest till corrupt ministers are asked to go. We will not let Kejriwal and his ministers take law in their own hands. The BJP will ensure that constitutional framework is respected."
 
"The Poorvanchali community feels betrayed. No development work is being undertaken for them. They continue to struggle for jobs, housing and better amenities," said Sh. Vijay Bhagat, president, Poorvanchal Morcha of Delhi BJP 

Thousands of people participated with great enthusiasm in the biggest tea party of Delhi 'Chai par Charcha' where 'Namo' tea was shared by them expressing all out support for BJP's PM candidate Sh. Narendra Modi. 
"The party will organize such sessions in various parts of the city in days to come," said Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel addressing this event at Barah Tooti Chowk. "This even is a true reflection of the fact that the support for BJP and Sh. Modi cuts across caste, creed, religion and class lines."
 
Sh. Goel urged the BJP supporters to go to door to door to take the message that BJP's key focus is nation building and this will be done through good governance. The BJP ruled states have delivered on promises made by the party unlike many other political outfits who are more interested in creating problems than resolving it.
 
Sh. Goel said, "AAP government in Delhi is a classic case of running away from its responsibility. Arvind Kejriwal is threatening to resign over issue of Janlokpal as he has failed to deliver and with every passing day AAP-Congress alliance government and leaders are getting exposed."
 
Sh. Goel said, "The CM has not shared a draft of the Janlokpal and Swaraj bills with the BJP.Any important legislation needs to be discussed threadbare as it affects people of Delhi. But Kejriwal's attitude is undemocratic. He is not ready for debate on this. Instead of debating it he is threatening to resign. This is sheer political blackmail."
 
"AAP is showing disrespect to the constitutional framework. Kejriwal and his colleagues are not the only repository of wisdom.They is not following proper legislative procedures. BJP is ready to discuss and debate any legislation and support it also if it helps to improve life of people of Delhi. But Kejriwal just want to get the bills passed not allowing any deliberations on this."
 
"It is ironic that AAP is supported by corrupt Congress, two of its ministers are found to be indulging in corrupt and unethical practices and yet it is trying to take a moral high ground!"

The Delhi BJP  today said the announcement of Delhi government to waive off electricity bills of households.  At least Rs 6 crore burdens will be put on taxpayers and this money will actually come out of taxpayer who has been paying his or her bills. This is decision which is unfair to taxpaying, law abiding citizen. 
“So many people had participated in Bijli Andolan which BJP ran for four years. Why only a select group of people have been chosen to give this waiver. If the CM wanted to give benefit to all those who fought against power companies then he should have included lakhs of other households also,” said Delhi BJP president Sh. Vijay Goel while launching the party’s week long Ek note-Kamal par Vote campaign.
 
The campaign was launched by Sh. Goel himself in Naveen Shahdra and East Delhi district units of BJP. Goel who met a large number of people and himself collected funds for party. “The campaign is being carried out at more than 11000 polling booths in the Capital. “We will reach every home and also take feedback about the problems faced by the people due to non-performance of AAP government as a part of this campaign,” said Sh. Goel.  BJP legisltor Sh. Jitendra Mahajan, district unit presidents of BJP from Naveen Shahdra and East Delhi and former MP Sh. Lal Bihari Tewri were also present on the occasion.
 
Sh. Goel said, “The AAP government is taking decisions ignoring the procedures and systems. That is why the announcements made by it are not getting translated into the relief to the common people.”
 
“The ad-hocism of AAP government and its double speak stands exposed today. AAP is promoting anarchy in the city. Every section of society is affected by the existing chaos but the Chief Minister and his colleagues are more bothered about creating controversies to hog limelight. Their focus is not welfare of the people but making political gains for the Lok Sabha polls.”

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party President Sh. Vijay Goel today lambasted Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for ignoring problems related to people of Delhi and putting up a façade of honesty. He said that Kejriwal is least bothered about problems of people in Delhi, all his efforts are towards getting maximum political mileage through controversies in run up to Lok Sabha polls. 
Addressing a party function to commemorate the death anniversary of Pandit Deendayal Upadhya, one of the founding members of the party, Sh. Goel said,“If  the CM can order named FIRs in case of  Gas prices which appear to be beyond his jurisdiction,   what is stopping him from naming  former Congress Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit and other Congress leaders in CWG scam case which is under Delhi government’s jurisdiction. Why an unnamed FIR has been filed in this case?” said Sh. Goel.
 
“Kejriwal is trying to put a façade of honesty when two of his ministers-Somnath Bharati and Manish Sisodia- are corrupt and indulge in unethical practices. Why is Kejriwal protecting them?,” said Sh. Goel.
 
“It is clear that Kejriwal is trying to divert attention of people away from the issues of governance as he has failed to deliver on this front. He should give priority to addressing problems of Delhi’ites instead of trying to play to the gallery on old and stale issues which are already in public domain.”
 
Sh. Goel said Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s life was simple and he dedicated his complete life to build up Bharatiya Jansangh which later became Bharatiya Janata Party. Despite living a selfless and simple life, he never boasted about it and worked silently towards nation-building. Some leaders today are wearing their ‘simplicity’ up their sleeve, they should learn from Pandit ji’s life.
 
Addressing the function, BJP national secretary Sh. Shyam Jaju said, “Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya’s philosophy of integral humanism is a source of inspiration and guiding principle of millions of BJP cadres.  It is time that we work relentlessly to bring a clean, determined nationalist government to power under the Prime Ministership of Sh. Narendra Modi so that these ideals propagated by Pandit ji can be realised.”

he Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party  today slammed Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal for making empty promises to people from north-east and doing nothing on ground to enhance their safety  even as yet another minor girl from Manipur was raped in the city. 
“It appears there is no law and order in the state. The Centre and Delhi government are busy fighting with each other with no one having either time or inclination to ensure safety of  an average Delhi’ite in the city,” said  Delhi BJP President Sh. Goel while addressing participants of a huge car rally  held in the city  to express support for BJP’s PM candidate Sh. Narendra Modi.
 
Sh. Goel also flagged off the rally which was organized by Delhi BJP’s Chartered Accountant cell. “There has been overwhelming support from all sections of society for Sh. Narendra Modi as witnessed in this  “Car Rally. Now  the Delhi BJP is organizing the biggest tea party ever held in history of Delhi. It will be attended by more than 10,000 people at 10 am  on 10 Februaryat Bara Tooti Chowk. All these events have one common message to convey to the voters about BJP’s philosophy- “Vikas Bhi, Imaan bhi, Garibon ka samman bhi.”
 
Sh. Goel said, “All of us are witnessing how people from north east are feeling harassed in the city.  Women are feeling increasingly unsafe.  But Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his ministerial colleagues have no time for such important matters.  What has AAP government done to check this spurt in crime?”
 
“No one is concerned about governance in the city.   The Congress-AAP alliance has pushed the city into a state of anarchy.  It is strange that while on one hand Congress is criticising the AAP and on the other hand it is supporting it. Why doesn’t it withdraw the support from AAP ?,” asked Sh. Goel.
 
Commenting on the latest developments on Janlokpal bill, Sh. Goel said, “Even Sh. Anna Hazare has clearly said in an interview to a newspaper published today that  the Janlokpal bill passed by  Centre is good enough and it has strong provisions for having Lokayuktas in state. Then why Kejriwal is pushing for his own version of Janlokpal.  It is clear that he is a rebel without cause and does not want to focus on key governance issues.”

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party President Sh. Vijay Goel today termed the move to register an FIR in CWG corruption as an eyewash as no Congress leader has been named in the FIR. Sh. Goel  also demanded that AAP should come out openly and let the people know its action plan to handle the power crisis in the Capital. 
“AAP is taking decisions behind closed doors. It should come out openly and answer the following questions:
 
In case license of present Discoms is cancelled, will any other company be immediately in a position to take over the power supply?
On what rates a new power supply company will provide power to the consumers?
What will be the cost of hiring a new company and how much will be burden on the exchequer?
What is AAP doing to end monopoly in power supply? Why it is not inviting more than one power companies through open bidding?
If NTPC stops supplying power to the BSES in Delhi, what is the government’s back plan to ensure that there is uninterrupted power supply?
Why 50% reduction in power tariff is not getting reflected in power bills?
What is AAP doing to rollback the recent hike of 8% in power tariff? 
 “There is complete non-transparency in the way AAP government is handling power crisis. There seems to be no backup plan with the government for handling the immediate power crisis. We are warning the CM and its ministers that it should immediately come out with its action plan on power sector,” said Sh. Goel.
 
“The crisis witnessed in the power sector is the result of lack of administrative seriousness in this government. It also appears that another political drama is being played out by AAP without caring for the problems faced by common people,” said Sh. Goel.
 
On the issue of corruption also, the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal continues to protect the corrupt.  Sh. Goel said, “The BJP had handed over the evidence of involvement of Congress leaders in the CWG scams. It has been consistently demanding registering of cases against former Chief Minister Smt Sheila Dikshit and other Congress ministers and leaders for the widespread corruption in CWG games. But it is surprising that AAP government has not named even a single Congress leader in the FIR.”
 
“Had the AAP government really been serious about nailing the corrupt for corruption in the CWG, it would have named them in the FIRs. But it is clear now that Kejriwal is protecting the corrupt in Congress in lieu of the support it has got to run his government,” said  Sh. Goel.
 
Sh. Goel reiterated that the BJP wants AAP ministers Somnath Bharti and Manish Sisodaia to be dismissed as they have found to be indulging in corrupt and unethical practices. The BJP will continue to hold protests and agitations till these two ministers are dismissed, said Sh. Goel.

As a part of its Lok Sabha campaign and buoyed by the success of its Namo Tea Party yesterday , the  Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party will hold the biggest tea party of Delhi “Namo Chai Charcha ”  comprising more than 10,000 persons at 10 am on  February 10 at   Barah Tooti Chowk . The event is organised to convey Sh. Narendra Modi’s message to the people- 
“Vikas Bhi, Imaan Bhi
Garibon Ka Samman Bhi”
 
Addressing a press conference today, Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel said, “This “Namo Chai Charcha” will focus on some key issues of governance and corruption. We will take this opportunity to highlight the fact that both the Congress led UPA at the Centre and the AAP-Congress alliance government in Delhi are corrupt, inefficient, non-performer and anti-people.”
 
Sh. Goel said, “The party has planned a series of innovative evens as a part of its Lok Sabha campaign.  We have set up a task force to come out with publicity material that will be distributed at Namo Chai Charcha and other such events in coming days.
 
Sh. Goel informed that this time the election campaign is different from the previous Lok Sabha campaigns as with increasing use of social media and other interactive tools, our campaign has become very interactive in Delhi.
 
“We are inviting people to contribute with the slogans. Their suggestions are being asked for party’s national manifesto also. ”
 
Sh. Goel said, “During all the activities for Lok Sabha campaign, governance and corruption will  figure prominently in party’s campaign in Delhi. In fact, the BJP has maintained a persistent pressure on AAP to act against Congress leaders on issue of corruption.. Due to this moutning pressure of the BJP, AAP has been forced to send some CWG cases to the ACB. However, all this could be eyewash also. The BJP, however, would  not allow either AAP or Congress to run away with corruption.”
 
“We will ensure that corrupt Congress leaders are sent to jail.  We also want resignation of Delhi Law Minister and Education minister. Both of them have been proved corrupt beyond any doubt.  Delhi Chief Minister should dismiss them immediately if he is really sincere about tackling corruption. However, he is actually protecting and promoting them. “
 
Sh. Goel warned that AAP has already created a mess in the power sector and Delhi will have to brace up one of the most terrible summers due to uncertainty of power supply. “Delhi might lose its power supply anytime; the Delhi government seems to be more interested in playing up the confrontation rather than resolving the crisis. Already we are experiencing 8% higher power tariff, long unscheduled power cuts.  And the situation is deteriorating further. Why can’t Kejriwal stop shooting from the hip and just focus on resolving the issues of governance. The time he spends in criticising everyuone else and trying to hog the limelight with his antics could be well spent in resolving power crisis and other issues of Delhi,” said Sh. Goel.
 
Meanwhile, Rashtrawadi Shiv Sena chief Sh. Jai Bhagwan Goel today merged his party with the BJP. Hundreds of his supporters were present on this occasion.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party today  called upon it party cadres to  go all out at the grassroots level and expose the fact that AAP  leaders are political mercenaries and it is a Maoist outfit.  
A polticial resolution  passed by the  Delhi BJP state executive after deliberations for  more than five hours  said, “Delhi is currently being ruled by a bunch of political mercenaries hired, supported and controlled by Congress party….The   words and action of AAP leaders expose the fact that it is a Maoist outfit.”
 
The Delhi BJP also asked for immediate dismissal of the corrupt ministers Somnath Bharti and Manis Sisodia. It condemned the mudslinging, use of abusive language, intolerance and undemocratic behaviour of AAP government.
 
The party thanked people of Delhi for the support it extended to the party making it emerge as the single largest party.
 
Addressing the state executive, Delhi BJP President Shri Vijay Goel urged the party workers to go all out to expose AAP and work at grassroots level to ensure that BJP wins all seven Lok Sabha seats. AAP and Congress are two sides of the same coin and Congress should withdraw support if it does not agree with AAP policies.
 
“Instead of delivering on the promises which AAP made to the people, it is trying to divert the attention of people away from its   failures by creating political drama and indulging in mudslinging. During the last one month of AAP government’s tenure, the day to day life of a common household in Delhi has gone from bad to worse,” said the political resolution listing some of the key issues-
 
The power tariff has been hiked by 8%, the announcement of 50% reduction in power tariff has remained on paper and not reflected in bills.
The water tariff has been hiked by 10%.
The contract employees are not being regularized.
Massive transfers have been done in every government department creating an unworkable atmosphere as many senior officials are being asked to report to officers much junior to them.  
Shri Goel said, “AAP’s JanLokpal is a political stunt. It should dismiss corrupt ministers and focus on strengthening Lokayukta if it is really serious about tacking corruption.  The attempts by Congress to obstruct Shri Naredndra Modi’s victory march will not succeed. The BJP workers in Delhi are fully geared up to ensure historic victory for the party in Lok Sabha polls on all seven Lok Sabha seats.”
 
Addressing the state executive the newly appointed Delhi BJP incharge Shri Prabhat Jha said, “I am confident that if we all work together with clear focus, then victory will be ours.”  He asked the party workers to work in close coordination and put up a united front.  The Delhi BJP has a strong organizational unit with highly motivated party workers and it would surely win all seven Lok Sabha seats in the coming polls, said Shri Jha.

The Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party today slammed AAP government for indulging in politics of blackmail to divert attention away from its non-performance. The party also demanded resignation of AAP ministers Manish Sisodia and Somnath Bharati for being corrupt and unethical. 
Addressing a Press Conference today Delhi BJP President Sh. Vijay Goel said “Today’s demonstration of AAP at BJP leader Sh. Arun Jaitley’s house amounts to political blackmail. As BJP is exposing AAP every day  and asking for accountability, so AAP is now  using these tactics to take the  attention of people and away from the real issues.”
 
Sh. Goel said that the real issues on which AAP needs to come out with answers are –
1.      Why Kejriwal is protecting corrupt ministers like Somnath Bharati and Manish Sisodia. Bharati is an internationally notorious spammer, has been reprimanded by Courts, is named in FIRs by African women.
Manish Sisodia misused foreign funds granted to his NGO ‘Kabir’ for personal use. An inspection by the Union Home Ministry’s Controller of Accounts in 2012 concluded after inspecting NGO Kabir’s accounts, “In several cases, payments are not supported with relevant documents and are routed through Manish Sisodia in cash.” These irregularities included payment of rent to Sisodia's wife without receipts, unexplained travel expenses and even a "reimbursement" to Sisodia for servicing his car!
 
Sisodia’a  NGO had received more than Rs 2 crore in foreign contributions between 2005-06 and 2010-11 and the inspection was done in accordance with the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act, covering the period from 2005-06 to 2011-12 
 
2.      Why AAP MLA Madan Lal kept quiet from December 7 upto now about the alleged bribe offer made to him? . Why a case shouldn’t be registered against him for not reporting a “crime” (of being offered bribe). Why AAP didn’t mention this fact at any platform till yesterday?
3.      Kejriwal has full powers to register a case against Sheila Dikshit and other Congress leaders for corruption as Anti-Corruption Branch is under Delhi government? Why is he staging this ‘political drama’ of writing to the President and seeking permission to prosecute Sheila Dikshit for corruption? And why there is no move against any other Congress minister?
4.      Kejriwal failed to deliver on any of the promises he made. Why the power tariff was hiked to 8%? Why he has not been able to check long power cuts? Why there is no improvement in water supply? Why he has not been able to regularise guest teachers and other contract employees as he had promised? Why government schools continue to be in a complete mess? Why there is no clear decision on scrapping of BRT corridor? Where are the 5500 auto rickshaws which were announced to be allowed to ply in NCR?
Sh. Goel said, "The BJP will continue to expose AAP and its non performance undeterred by the politics of blackmail. The people of Delhi have seen the real faces of AAP leaders. They believe in spreading anarchy, they are intolerant and governance is the last priority for them. "
