The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has taken potshots at the BJP government for squandering ₹12,262 crores on infrastructure projects in Ayodhya, exposing rampant corruption. Senior AAP leader Dilip Pandey criticized the BJP for prioritizing electoral gains over quality, citing that the projects, including a ring road and a medical college, failed after the first rains. The AAP Leader further condemned Prime Minister Modi’s inaugurations in Jabalpur, Delhi, and Rajkot as mere photo opportunities, with facilities collapsing soon after. He urged the Supreme Court to initiate an independent investigation by taking suo motu cognizance into these blatant scams.
Senior AAP Leader and MLA Dilip Pandey said in a press conference at the party headquarters on Saturday that ₹12,262 crores spent on various projects in a hurry in Ayodhya, Lord Shri Ram’s city, has been washed away in the rain. Out of ₹12,262 crores, ₹1,4050 crores were spent on an airport; ₹724 crores on the railway station; ₹4,793 crores on the Ring Road; ₹1,140 and ₹773 crores on two other roads; ₹787 and ₹2,180 crores on two townships; ₹170 crores on the renovation projects; and ₹245 crores on building a medical college. The pictures and videos coming from Ayodhya after the first rain clearly show how the people of the country have been cheated in the name of Lord Shri Ram. The money of the people has been burnt in corruption by asking for votes.
Dilip Pandey stated, “This did not just stop here. Prime Minister Modi inaugurated many incomplete projects in the last one year only for his political mileage and ‘photo politics’. Similarly, terminals were inaugurated in Jabalpur and Delhi, but their roofs collapsed in the first rain itself, injuring many people and killing three people. Now, news has come of the roof of the Rajkot airport terminal collapsing in Prime Minister Modi’s home state Gujarat. This terminal, inaugurated by PM Modi within the last year, was made operational in a hurry before its completion, ignoring its quality.”
The senior AAP leader said that today in the country, projects worth thousands of crores of rupees are being started despite being incomplete or are being completed before time by compromising their quality only to satisfy Prime Minister Modi’s desire for show and publicity.
As a result, thousands of crores of rupees of the people of the country’s tax went down the drain today. Similarly, 5 bridges collapsed in Bihar this week. Every day some bridge or the other is collapsing, but no one is accountable. The BJP did not give any explanation for these scams of thousands of crores of rupees. The anti-corruption slogan given by PM Modi in his previous government, “Na Khaunga, Na Khane Dunga”, has no meaning now, PM Modi also did not say anything about these incidents, he said.
“Atal Setu, which the BJP had heaped praise on, has now huge cracks. Today, it has also been torn to pieces like the political character of the BJP. They have no answer as to where the public’s money has gone. Today the people of the country are looking only towards the court for everything, from saving democracy, constitution and revenue to getting the innocent people out of jail who have been implicated in false cases,” he added.
“We urge the Supreme Court of the country to take suo-motu cognizance of all these scams and take action because now it has become clear that the BJP is the most corrupt party in Indian history. Otherwise, a committee of retired Supreme Court judges should investigate all the projects that were hastily inaugurated in this one year and have been ruined to date. All these projects should be investigated systematically. This should prove that the BJP ministers, MPs, MLAs and officers are involved in corruption and fix their accountability. Also, take action against the BJP leaders who have wasted crores of rupees of the people of the country,” Dilip Pandey concluded.
