Ahead of next month's municipal polls here, the AAP government has gone on an inauguration spree, commencing road-repair works and other projects, and also launched an advertisement campaign through the print media.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia and PWD Minister Satyendar Jain today inaugurated repair and improvement works on around a dozen roads in Central, North, West and North-West Delhi.
The two ministers are scheduled to inaugurate repair works on several roads tomorrow as well. Some other projects are also in the line to be inaugurated in the coming days.
The Kejriwal government completed two years in office last month.
The government has been giving advertisements in the print media every day for the last two days, highlighting its works including potable water facility for all by 2017 in Delhi, waiving of pending water bills, "successful" implementation of two phases of odd-even policy.
The "achievements" that will be highlighted in the coming days include the mohalla clinic project, cheap power rates and free water among others.
Elections to all three municipal corporations, being ruled by the BJP for almost 10 years, will take place next month.
AAP, which recently released the first list of 109 candidates for the MCD polls, has said that in its campaign, it would raise the issue of alleged corruption by BJP in civic bodies.
