Seeking to initiate reshuffling in the party, AAP Delhi Convenor Gopal Rai on Thursday chaired a meeting of the councilors, asking them to strengthen the political outfit.
Rai stated that the AAP government took significant steps to provide quality healthcare to Delhiites, introducing Mohalla Clinics for the first time in the country.
In the latest addition to the ongoing war of words over the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) audit report on healthcare; AAP leader Gopal Rai claimed on Monday that the report validates that the healthcare infrastructure of Delhi under AAP’s tenure in government is best in the country.
The incumbent environment minister needs to develop a concrete action plan to achieve this.
Former Delhi Environment minister Gopal Rai, claiming that the previous AAP government, under Arvind Kejriwal’s leadership, ensured clean air for Delhi to 209 days in the last year from 109 in 2016, said on Sunday that the BJP should take it forward.
The Minister made the statement in his letters addressed to the presidents of the Delhi unit of BJP and Congress urging them to give any suggestions that could help reduce the city's pollution for incorporation into the Winter Action Plan.
Yadav alleged that when the Congress was in power in Punjab, the AAP government blamed the state for stubble burning resulting in Delhi’s air becoming toxic.
He said the action plan to ensure round-the-clock electricity, the introduction of electric buses, and the planting of more trees has resulted in reduced pollution.
Delhi Environment Minister Gopal Rai on Friday urged the Centre to convene a meeting with all the stakeholders to evaluate potential of cloud seeding (artificial rain) for combating air pollution during winter season in the national capital.
With an aim to improve the city's air quality during the winter, the Kejriwal Government will organise a "Round Table Conference" on Thursday with participants comprising experts and various departments of the government at the Delhi Secretariat.
