New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has accused the Aam Aadmi Party of neglecting the capital's infrastructure, particularly its firefighting systems, claiming that under the previous AAP-led government, these critical systems were left 'in a dilapidated state.'
'The firefighting systems under the previous government were in a dilapidated state in Delhi. Because of this, we were not able to provide the necessary solutions to people in the case of numerous tragedies,' CM Gupta said on Friday.
On Friday, the Chief Minister, along with BJP MP Ramvir Bidhuri and Delhi Minister Ashish Sood, inspected the modern firefighting vehicles of the Delhi Fire Service at the Secretariat.
CM Gupta further expressed that Delhi should have the ability to deal with any fire incident as quickly as possible
'Delhi should use the latest techniques to deal with any fire incident as quickly as possible. The Delhi government should have the ability to deal with any fire tragedy or incident,' the Delhi CM said.
Delhi Minister Ashish Sood also slammed AAP for ignoring Delhi's infrastructure.
'Under the leadership of Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, we are continuously making efforts to make Delhi's infrastructure the best in the country. In the last 10 years, no serious efforts have been made to improve Delhi's infrastructure, particularly the modernisation of fire services,' Sood said while talking with reporters at the Secretariat.
On the same day, the Delhi CM also accused the previous AAP government of doing nothing for the development of mandis in the national capital, instead making them hubs of corruption.
The Chief Minister said that her government will make a plan to modernise the mandis.
'The condition of all the mandis in Delhi is so bad that no work has been done in these mandis in the last 10-15 years,' she told reporters after inspecting Azadpur Mandi in North Delhi. (ANI)
