Union Environment Minister Harsh Vardhan on Tuesday said that projects
in his parliamentary constituency Chandni Chowk, including the
Shahjahanabad redevelopment plan, are stuck due to non-cooperation of
Delhi's AAP government.
He also said that much-awaited Rani Jhansi flyover in north Delhi will be completed by August this year.
Asked
about works stuck in his constituency, he said that two of his pet
projects - the Shahjahanabad redevelopment plan and under-grounding of
electric cables in Chandni Chowk - could not be accomplished as the
Arvind Kejriwal government did not cooperate.
"We followed up
the Shahjahanabad redevelopment plan aggressively, I also met Lt
Governor (Anil Baijal) and he was interested but the Delhi government
backed out. I also met Chief Minister but he was reluctant," said Harsh
Vardhan.
He further added that another project for removing all
the hanging electricity wires and cables in crowded Chandni Chowk area
could not be accomplished because of the "attitude" of the Delhi
government.
"We were in talks with the Union Power ministry and
Delhi government... the mechanism is such that you got to have their
(Delhi government) support... but after few meetings, the AAP government
representatives stopped coming to the meetings," he said.
Citing
his achievements in his constituency, Harsh Vardhan said these included
opening over 50 open gyms, and a skill development centre for Muslim
girls at Jama Masjid Police Station.
"Eighty more gyms are are planned, besides 35 to be developed with cooperation with DDA (Delhi Development Authority)," he said.
The
Union Minister also disclosed his plan to provide separate facilities
to women in the open gyms so that they are not deprived of the facility
due to long queues in parks.
He said that around 237 projects
were in different phases of progression in his constituency and will be
visible in next one year.
"People had been walking in my house
for past 25 years to get their issues resolved and they don't have to
take any appointment... this the kind of public dialogue our government
promotes," Harsh Vardhan added.
