Arvind Kejriwal, the politician whom his followers view as a “Warrior” of the fight against corruption, is celebrating his birthday today and we will also like to offer our best wishes to him, hoping that he fulfills the expectations of Delhites who have chosen him as their chief minister with heavy majority.
Arvind Kejriwal and his party made many promises to the people of Delhi while campaigning for the state elections and here is a list of some achievements that they claim to achieve:
1. The AAP government claims to build 8,000 new classrooms which is equivalent to nearly 200 schools. They have also made 21 new school buildings and equipped 54 schools with state-of-the-art facility.
2. They put a control on the dictatorship of private schools and stopped them from charging exorbitant fees from parents of students.
3. The govt. developed 36 multispecialty hospitals out of which six are Super Specialty Hospitals. What’s more, 10 of them have blood banks which also have the facility of storage of blood. They have provided 11,000 new beds in 69 private hospitals which are under EWS category. Out of these 11,000 beds, 731 are free beds. A lot has been done for the health of citizens as 107 Aam Aadmi Mohalla clinics and 43 mobile clinics have also been set up.
4. The charges of Water and Sewer Development have been reduced considerably and nearly 12,56,883 domestic water connections have got benefitted from the free water supply of 20,000 litres per month. Total number of active users has increased to 21.66 Lakh from 19.20 lakh and the government is trying to provide them bi-monthly billing options.
