Expansion
Anil Jha, two-time MLA of Kirari from BJP, joined the Aam Aadmi Party on Sunday. Party’s national convenor Arvind Kejriwal gave him membership of the party by making him wear a cap and patka at the party headquarters. Earlier, three-time MLA from South Delhi Brahm Singh Tanwar and former Chairman of the Standing Committee and leader of the House in East Delhi, Bibi Tyagi, have joined AAP.
On this occasion, Arvind Kejriwal said that Anil Jha did a lot of work for the people of Purvanchal. His arrival will strengthen the Aam Aadmi Party not only in Kirari but in entire Delhi. There are 1750 unauthorized colonies in Delhi. Drinking water has been supplied to about sixteen hundred colonies. In about a hundred, work cannot be done due to Forest Department and ASI. In ten years, ten thousand kilometers of roads and streets have been built inside these colonies.
At the same time, Anil Jha said that the AAP government worked in the unauthorized colonies of Delhi. Good education, clean food, Mohalla clinic facility and other facilities are available in schools. This is social justice. We saw that if anyone is strengthening the slogan of social justice, it is Arvind Kejriwal.
Kejriwal developed Delhi
MLA Durgesh Pathak said that if any one person has worked for Purvanchal within Delhi, it is Arvind Kejriwal. When a person from UP, Bihar comes to Delhi for work and studies, he lives inside unauthorized colonies. Ten years ago there was a problem in all those unauthorized colonies. There were no roads. There was no provision of water, sewer and light. People lived in knee-deep mud. Within just ten years, you will find wonderful roads in all the areas of Delhi where people from Purvanchal live, in all the unauthorized colonies.
