The outcome budget for 2019-20 is an admission by the AAP government of its "complete failure" to govern the national capital, Delhi BJP chief Manoj Tiwari said on Saturday.
If Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal could not fulfil his promise of providing free Wi-Fi services in the four-and-a-half years, how would he be able to provide free travel to women in Metro trains and buses, Tiwari asked.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has recently proposed to provide free rides to women in Metro trains and buses.
Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia Friday presented the outcome budget of his government, which showed that its ambitious project to provide Wi-Fi was delayed and would materialise next year.
"Through its outcome budget, the Kejriwal government is admitting that it has completely failed to run the city government," Tiwari said.
He said the Delhi government had to install CCTV cameras in the city, provide free Wi-Fi services, and start new buses including e-buses, but failed to do so.
"These are the schemes for which the ruling party had made promises at the time of Assembly elections in 2015," he said.
The people of Delhi are ready to elect the BJP in the next Assembly elections, he claimed.
"People very well know that Delhi will develop only when there is a BJP government in Delhi, besides the Modi government at the Centre. There is only one narrative in the lanes, mohallas and chaupals and that is, Kejriwal should go and BJP should come to power in Delhi," he said.
The AAP had won the 2015 Assembly elections winning 67 of the 70 seats.
