Tiwari meets LG to pitch for road projects in north east Delhi

Delhi BJP president Manoj Tiwari today met Lt Governor Anil Baijal to pitch for his demands to construct a signal free road corridor and completion of ongoing work on signature bridge in north east Delhi.

Tiwari who had sat on an indefinite hunger strike alleging the AAP government of not releasing funds for these projects in north east Delhi that he represents in the Lok Sabaha, ended the fast yesterday night after assurance of an affirmative action by Baijal.

He also thanked Baijal for taking cognisance of "urgency" of completing the Shastri Park signal free loop project and signature bridge in his constituency.

The "delays and hindrances" in completion of Shashtri Park signal free project and signature bridge have been removed, Tiwari told Baijal.

"Kejriwal government had sufficient funds for completing these projects but there was lack of honest efforts. The government misled the people on the pretext of lack of funds," he alleged.
