BJP releases vision document for Delhi polls

New Delhi, Feb 3 (IANS) The BJP on Tuesday released its vision document for the 2015 Delhi assembly polls, promising to address fundamental issues like power, water, hospitals and transport system in the capital.

"If we want to make Delhi a smart and a world class city, we have to address the basic issues like electricity, water and transport," Bharatiya Janata Party’s Delhi unit chief Satish Upadhyay told the media here.

He said the vision document promises steps to make Delhi a world class city and provide housing for all. "We have promised one lakh houses for the middle class," Upadhyay said.

"This election will decide what will be the vision and which path the capital will choose and whether there will be politics of development and good governance," he said.

The vision document, which has been brought out instead of a manifesto, was made by a committee led by senior BJP leader Harsh Vardhan.

The party’s chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi said: "The vision document covers many areas and includes cleaning the Yamuna river, housing for poor, power, development of villages, animal shelters and municipal corporation of Delhi."

Delhi goes to polls on Feb 7 and the votes will be counted on Feb 10.
