BJP’s action plan for Delhi: Cleaning of drains, Central schemes implementation
Just days after securing a thumping victory in the Delhi Assembly elections, the BJP is preparing a 100-day action plan for the national capital, with a focus on implementing schemes of the Central government, including the flagship Ayushman Bharat, and the cleaning of drains to better waterlogging issues during the monsoon season.
Following a meeting on Wednesday, Delhi Chief Secretary Dharmendra directed all relevant departments to prepare the action plan in line with the new BJP government’s Vikshit Delhi Sankalp Patra 2025.
According to reports, the plan should focus on targets to be completed within 15 days, month by month and also in 100 days.
As per the action plan, the health department has been directed to prepare a cabinet note to implement the Ayushman Bharat scheme, which aims to provide free access to health insurance coverage for low income earners.
The Chief Secretary has also ordered officials to prepare another note for desilting and cleaning of drains, including necessary steps to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon season.
All departments are scheduled to submit their initial report today.
The BJP has returned to the national capital after 27 years following the Aam Aadmi Party’s crushing loss in the February 5 elections after its 10-year regime in Delhi.
The AAP, which had 67 MLAs in the 70-member Delhi Assembly, managed to secure only 22 seats. All heavyweights of the party, including AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal, former Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj, leaders Awadh Ojha and Somnath Bharti, among others, were defeated, except Atishi, who retained her seat.
