Delhi BJP Chief challenges CM for public debate

Delhi BJP President Vijay Goel today challenged Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for a public debate on the issue of governance ahead of assembly elections next month.

Goel also raised a list of 15 questions on 15 years of the Congress government led by her.

"The chief minister does not have any explanation for the failures of the Congress government. Instead of responding to my charges, she fielded three cabinet ministers to respond, who in turn tried to mislead with wrong figures and false claims," Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel said.

Goel in his press statement issued today also said that the chief minister should stop playing hide and seek and come out in open to explain her position on these 15 questions.

He said the Congress government needs to explain development in the areas of power, health, transport, education and environment.

"It is ironical that the ministers now are speaking on the issues of corruption and efficiency of administration, especially when the CM herself has been indicted more than once by the Lokayukta in case of corruption and misuse of funds," the Delhi BJP Chief said in the statement.
