New Delhi:
Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit on Friday shot down Aam Aadmi Party leader Arvind Kejriwal's campaign over rising power tariff in the national capital and said she was confident the people would vote her to power once again. Diskhit was speaking at Network 18's Think India Dialogue in New Delhi. "I hope to win the elections," Diskhit said, lashing out at Kejriwal for his protests against the power tariff hike and alleged inflated bills being sent to consumers. "Kejriwal did not pay his bills for many months, so his power supply was cut off. What kind of message is he giving - that don't pay for anything?" she asked. "The common man doesn't believe in what Kejriwal is talking about," said Dikshit, who has been the Chief Minister of Delhi for three consecutive terms and faces elections later this year. The Chief Minister said people should be ready to pay if they wanted round-the-clock power supply. "Delhi is the best power producing state. Power rates are the cheapest here," she said. I hope to win Delhi elections again, says Sheila Dikshit Dikshit said her government was "responsive" to the needs of the people but bogged down by obstacles, such as the lack of control over policing. "Delhi is not a full-fledged state. The Delhi Police not being under me is a hindrance I face," she said. "Around 65 per cent of our funds go to the social sector. We took care of the floods but no one talked about it. Had it gone out of control, we would have been held responsible. There's a sense of negativism," Dikshit said. On the Right to Information (RTI) Act, the Chief Minister sounded a note of caution. "RTI is a very good thing but it has slowed down bureaucrats and decision-making in the government. There's a whole group of people who think RTI is their job. RTI is a double-edged sword. It is misused," she said. Dikshit refuted allegations of corruption levelled during the Commonwealth Games (CWG) held in the city in 2010, saying: "I felt deeply hurt when the CWG was run down by our own people. Every tender in the CWG went through due process. What has the CBI produced in its probe?" source:http://ibnlive.in.com |
