PRESS
RELEASE
“If
73 lakh people in Delhi
still need food security, who has cornered the fruits of economic progress?”
Professor Jagdish Mukhi. the sitting MLA
and BJP candidate from Janakpuri constituency made a hard hitting attack on the
economic policies of the Congress government in Delhi .
Addressing an election rally in Ward
119- covering D2-D3
and A and B blocks in his constituency,
Dr. Mukhi said that the Congress governments at the Center and in Delhi had made a total
mess of the economic situation. The exchange rate of Rupee for the US $ has slided
down to Rs. 63 for a Dollar. The growth rate statistics did
not reveal the bitter truth that the poor have become poorer and only the rich
have grown richer.
Professor Mukhi, accompanied by MCD
Councilor
Anil Sabharwal, Mandal Pradhan Yudhveer
and over a hundred BJP workers and members of the Mahila Morcha was on a door
to door campaign.
He said, “Delhi has the highest per capita income among
the states but that was the situation even twenty years ago. It is unfair to
work out this average clubbing the income of just 5-10 % very rich people and
the 90-95 % very poor people in the capital city. The fruits of economic
progress have not reached the poor as even according to government statistics,
around
73 lakh people continue to live below the
poverty line and need food security.
During his address, Professor Mukhi, who
has been a Finance Minister himself, revealed that the Congress government in Delhi had been spending up
to 55 % of budget allocations on Non-plan heads. This figure was 35-40 % during
the BJP regime. State earnings were at that time largely spent on projects that
directly benefited the people of Delhi .
“Congress government has been making
hollow claims. Its main concern has been continuing in power. Now the time has
come when the voters in Delhi
will expose the real face of the Congress through their votes on December 4,
2013. “
