Taking a jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) over its manifesto, BJP leader Vijender Gupta said on Monday that the Arvind Kejriwal-led party has failed to fulfill the promises made in its 70-Point Action Plan, released at the time of Assembly elections.

"The failure covers the entire gamut of public services, right from Jan Lok Pal to regularisation of unauthorised colonies," he said.

Quoting the RTI replies that he got from the Delhi government, Gupta said the AAP promises of passing the Delhi Jan Lok Pal Bill and of reducing corruption in the state remain unfulfilled.

"No major step has been taken. The RTI reply received mentions only general measures taken by the Directorate of Vigilance, which have existed for so long. Despite publicity, no study was done to bring out the fact that corruption has been reduced. There were certain procedural lapses in the Jan Lok Pal Bill, which needed correction. These have not carried out, keeping the Bill in abeyance," he said.

Further, regarding the opening of 20 new colleges, he said that no new college has been set up since March 2015. "The government has not moved an inch with regard to the important promise made in the field of higher education. Even the locations of these new colleges have not been decided. No funds have been earmarked for the purpose," he said.

Regarding CCTV cameras in public places, Gupta said only seven cameras, at a cost of Rs 29,000, have been installed. "Against the requirement of 1 lakh CCTV cameras in public places, only 7 cameras have been installed. In the last two years, no progress has been made regarding the provision of free Wi-Fi in public places," he alleged.
