AAm Admi party leader and former Law Minister of Delhi Somnath Bharti today voiced concern over "corruption and rowdism" in Puducherry, whihc he said is a spiritual state.
"It is a matter of deep shame that now Puducherry has been known for rowdyism and corruption which should be totally eliminated", Somnath Bharti who is in charge of the AAP's party affairs in Tamilnadu and Puducherry said while addressing a public meeting at the end of a party rally here.
He appealed to the people of Union Territory to bring about a change following the example set by New Delhi to install AAP in power in the coming assembly polls.
"Those involved in corrupt practices were made chairmen of the corporations and other public sector entities in Puducherry", he said.
"Rowdyism and corruption have come to cause disturbance in the spiritual state of Puducherry. We will make sure that the union territory is freed from corruption and rowdysim", he said.
AAP ministry in Delhi showed how firm is the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in providing a clean and honest administration.
National spokesperson of the party Ashutosh AAP would not brook corruption.
There was an increase by 45 percent in the New Delhi budget for Health and a 106 percent rise in allocation for education, he said.
He said Puducherry had the potential of emerging as the best state in the country and AAP would ensure that this potential was tapped fully by establishing its rule in Puducherry in the wake of 2016 Assembly polls. "We believe in clean, honest politics and the citizens are the first and paramount segment for the party" he said.
