IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...
Prof Vijay Kumar Malhotra is BJP's chief ministerial candidate in the coming Delhi Assembly polls. He talks to TSI’s Anil Pandey about his party’s plans for Delhi if voted into power.
What is your campaign agenda for the coming Delhi elections?
The main issue will be Delhi’s development. In the ten years the Congress has held the reins, the Capital has been hit by water and power shortages. The roads are bad and there is nothing like law and order. Crimes against women are on the rise and the city has become a haven for terrorists. Note the number of blasts that have taken place during Congress rule. Also, the Yamuna was never so polluted and even basic civic facilities are unavailable in the unauthorised and slum colonies.
What sort of development blueprint do you have?
Once in power, we will solve the water and electricity crisis, clean up the Yamuna and take special steps to make commuting a pleasure. We will set up more power plants and resume the stalled work on the Babana project. For water, we will ask Haryana and Uttar Pradesh to give us our share.
What is your Yamuna clean-up strategy?
The clean Yamuna project has been a flop. We have spent Rs 1,800 crore to clean the river and yet the pollution level has just kept rising. We will set up plants to treat the polluted water that comes through the nallahs and ensure that Haryana stops dumping toxic waste in the Yamuna. And if they don’t heed us, we will approach the Supreme Court.
What are you doing for the slums and other unauthorised colonies?
My first priority will be to authorise them. Nearly 50 lakh people reside in these colonies and clusters. Our aim is to build flats for the slum-dwellers.
What do you think is Delhi’s biggest problem and how do you hope to solve it?
We need to redo the Master Plan, which is at the root of Delhi’s problems. It was framed in a hurry. Under the Aam Maphi Yojna, we will offer rebate for constructions up to a certain period; thereafter, the Master Plans will be implemented strictly.
Thousands of labourers are expected to pour into Delhi during the 2010 Commonwealth Games. And they are not going to leave the city after the Games. How will you cope with this extra pressure?
The labourers are not coming from outside Delhi. They are mostly unemployed Delhiites, and the contractors will take care of migrant labour. In the last ten years, 4.5 lakh unemployed workers registered themselves, but only 1,300 got jobs.
Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit wants to make Delhi like Paris. What is your dream?
(Laughs) I have no idea about the CM’s Paris. What I do know is that in this Paris, 60 per cent of dwellers don’t even have sewers. I won’t make Delhi like Paris, but I would very much like to make it the world’s best city.
Will your government extend the BRTC corridor further?
It wasn’t so much the people, as the contractors of the Congress who benefited from the BRTC. Traffic snarls continue, and it can take up to three hours for people to reach their offices. The truth is that there wasn’t enough planning for the construction of flyovers. Once in power, we will scrap the BRTC and build new roads and flyovers to make commuters’ lives easier.
It is said the BJP will benefit the most should the BSP decide to enter the poll fray …
We will certainly benefit from it. The BSP will eat into some of our votes, but the Congress will be the biggest loser because Muslims are unhappy with them. And they will certainly vote for the BSP.
In what ways will the factionalism in the BJP’s Delhi unit affect the party’s performance?
There is no factionalism. We are all working together.
Will the party distribute tickets to youth?
In the mayoral elections, 80 per cent of the tickets went to the youth. It will be no different this time.
As chief minister how do you plan to deal with the Afzal Guru file that is lying with the current incumbent?
I will forward it to the Centre on the very first day and request that he be hanged
