The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Thursday said the Bharatiya Janata Party's vision document lacked an agenda and wouldn't deliver on the promise to reduce power prices in the national capital by 30 percent.

"Since BJP has no agenda and could not deliver their promise to reduce power prices by 30 percent, that is why they have released a vision document. They have betrayed the people of Delhi, we express our unhappiness over this," said AAP leader Dr. Kumar Vishwas.

The BJP released its vision document today, promising to make Delhi a world class city and to resolve pending problems of water, electricity and transport.

The party's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi also promised hundred percent transparency, unimpeachable integrity, police accountability, maximum measurability, fiscal prudence and zero tolerance to corruption.

The BJP had earlier announced that it would come up with a 'vision document' for the Delhi polls instead of a manifesto.

Its rival Aam Aadmi Party recently came up with a 70-point manifesto, unleashing a slew of promises including passing of the Jan Lokpal Bill, enhanced security for women and full statehood for the national capital.

Elections for the 70-seat assembly in Delhi will take place on February 7, with the counting of the votes set for February 10.
