New Delhi [India], Janaury 17 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party leader and former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said on Friday that he is not looking at the future of INDIA bloc, but instead worrying about the future of Delhi’s children getting a good education.
“Alliance, party, and leaders, why are we concerned about the future of all these? Our concern should be what will be the future of children and if they will get a good education or not,” Sisodia told ANI.
He expressed confidence in Kejriwal being the only person to provide the children of Delhi with the best facilities in education.
“It doesn’t matter what is the future of INDIA alliance, but important is what will be the future of children of Delhi and only Kejriwal can help the children of Delhi with their future. Only Arvind Kejriwal can save the future of the people of Delhi. Our fight is for the future of people,” the AAP leader added.
His remarks come amidst both AAP and Congress, who are alliance partners, deciding to contest the assembly election on their own. Bharatiya Janata Party has questioned the stability of the opposition alliance, calling it ‘scattered.’ Subsequently, Congress has expressed that the parties are still together.
When asked about the pollution in in the national capital the senior AAP leader said that the “Delhi government has done its job” but neighbouring states such as Uttar Pradesh have not.
“When it comes to Delhi pollution, by introducing electric buses and vehicles, Delhi govt has done its job. But when the Delhi govt bans a diesel vehicle in Delhi, then UP govt allows that vehicle in Ghaziabad and UP, pollution doesn’t have boundaries,” he added.
He further implored for pollution to be seen as an issue of “whole of north India” and criticised the central government for “not doing enough” to mitigate pollution.
“Whose job is that? It is the job of the central govt, but they are not doing it. They are doing politics in the name of Delhi and Punjab…stubble burning pollution has been brought down, in Delhi, pollution has been brought down…in UP and Madhya Pradesh also stubble burning is happening and it is increasing there,” he mentioned.
Manish Sisodia, going to contest from the Jangpura constituency will be against Congress’ Farhad Suri, and BJP’s Tarvind Singh Marwah.
In Arvind Kejriwal’s New Delhi assembly contest, he will be against Congress’ Sandeep Dikshit (son of former CM Sheila Dikshit) and BJP’s Parvesh Verma.
The Delhi Assembly election will be held in a single phase on February 5, with counting of votes to be done on February 8. (ANI)
