AAP govt fulfilled 80 pc promises in 3 years, will win all 70 seats in Delhi: N D Gupta

Aam Aadmi Party legislator N D Gupta claimed today that his party's government in Delhi has fulfilled 80 per cent of the promises made to the people of the city in three years and it would win all 70 seats in the next assembly election.

The Rajya Sabha member from Delhi made the remarks on a day AAP leader Ashish Khetan announced his resignation from the party. Khetan's resignation came a week after another key face of the party, Ashutosh, exited AAP over "very, very personal" reasons.

Gupta, who had been the party's CA for two years, was elected to the upper house in January this year.

Speaking at an event in Jaipur, N D Gupta said the AAP government led by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has fulfilled 80 per cent of the promises in the past three years of its rule, especially in education, health and power sectors.

The government has not taken any debt to run its functions and presented surplus budget, he claimed.

The party would win all 70 seats in Delhi in next assembly polls, he added. The next assembly polls in Delhi are due by 2020.

AAP came to power in Delhi three years ago after winning an overwhelming majority of 67 seats in the 70-member house.

Sushil Gupta, another AAP member elected to Rajya Sabha in January, said only a section of the society is accumulating all the wealth and there was a need for the society to think its future path to minimise the rising economic imbalance.

Sushil Gupta, a businessman, had quit the Congress to join AAP.

He said economic dissimilarities should be minimum for equal progress of all sections of society. It is irony that in the present political system religion and caste have superseded the issues of development, he added.
