BJP plans protests on govt failure
AGE CORRESPONDENT
NEW DELHI
Dec. 16: The Delhi BJP is planning to stage protests against the “misgovernance” of Sheila Dikshit government, which completes 12 years in office on Friday.
State BJP president Vijender Gupta said on Wednesday that the protests will begin from Chandni Chowk at 11.30 am and will be followed in several areas.
The protests are part of the BJP’s exercise to highlight the failures of the Congress government. The BJP will corner the government on corruption in Common-wealth Games and the subsequent attempt, the pathetic condition of power and water supply, acute shortage of housing, reigning in the PDS foodgrain mafia, chaotic and dangerous public transport system, worsening law and order situation, and the indifference to the problems being faced by the common man.
