Ranji Trophy: Virat Kohli Felicitated By DDCA For Playing 100 Test Matches For India

District Cricket Association: Talismanic India batter Virat Kohli was felicitated by the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) for his achievement of playing 100 Test matches, the feat that the former accomplished in 2022. Kohlis felicitation took place after the end of day twos play of the ongoing Ranji Trophy Group D match between Railways and Delhi at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Friday. Kohli, the right-handed batter, achieved the milestone of playing 100 Test matches against Sri Lanka at the PCA Stadium in Mohali in March 2022. IANS understands that the felicitation from DDCA happened just after day twos play ended as it was felt within the governing body that the timing was right for it to happen, especially considering Kohli was playing a Ranji Trophy match after more than 12 years. Kohli, 36, was presented with a shawl and a silver memento by DDCA president Rohan Jaitley, who turned a year older on Friday. Other members in the felicitation panel included apex council members, directors and Rajkumar Sharma, Kohlis childhood coach. Kohli is amongst the only three players from Delhi to have played 100 or more Tests for India. The other two players to have achieved the milestone from Delhi include right-arm fast bowler Ishant Sharma (105 Tests) and right-handed opening batter Virender Sehwag (104 Tests). Currently, Kohli is featuring in his first Ranji Trophy game after more than 12 years, having last played in Indias prestigious domestic First-Class competition back in November 2012 against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad. Adding to the hype to the occasion were scores of die-hard fans thronging the stadium to see him in action. But Kohli didnt live up to their hope as he was dismissed for just six runs when Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan sent his off-stump on a cartwheel ride.

J&K mysterious illness: GMC Rajouri decides against discharging patients until toxin reports received

SRINAGAR: Doctors at Government Medical College Rajouri will not discharge patients recovering from a mysterious illness until central health agencies confirm the toxic substance responsible for the illness that killed 17 people in Badhal village, J&K. Principal GMC Rajouri Dr Amarjeet Singh Bhatia told this newspaper that all the 11 patients admitted in the patients are stable now. Of the 11 patients, we have stopped the atropine dosage of 9 while we have reduced the atropine dosage of two others. Eight patients have fully recovered, he said. He, however, said the doctors in the hospital have decided against discharging the patients till a report from central agencies is received on what kind of toxin was there that caused the deaths. We have used atropine solution for the illness due to the hit and trial method but we dont know what kind of toxin caused the illness. We dont know whether it was simple organophosphorus or some other group or some other toxin. Without receiving the report on the toxins from health agencies, it will be dangerous to discharge the patients, the GMC principal said. According to him, some poisons cause deterioration in health conditions after 3 or 4 weeks so we have to be extra cautious. We cannot discharge the patients without knowing the exact diagnosis. When you dont know the exact diagnosis what treatment will doctors give to patients at the time of discharge. Many teams of national health agencies have visited the village and collected samples for detailed analysis and investigation. We will wait for some more days to know from central health agencies what was the cause of the mysterious illness. This will help us prepare and deal with any such cases in future, Dr Bhatia said, adding they have also informed the administration about their decision not to discharge the patients. The doctors at the GMC after a comparative study had decided to use atropine, an anti-poison drug, to treat patients of mysterious illness and the drug has proved to be a game changer. It has not only stabilised the patients but they have also successfully recovered from the illness.There has been no fresh case of the mysterious illness since January 24. The mysterious deaths inBadhalvillage started on December 7, 2024. On December 7, four children and the head of a family died while on December 12, a woman and three children of another family died. On January 9,Mohammad Aslams six children fell ill and all of them have died since. His maternal uncle and aunt who lived with him also died. All the three families are related. The mysterious deaths had caused fear in the village. About364 residents of 87 families of Badhal village have been relocated and moved to government accommodations for quarantine in the district headquarters of Rajouri after the administration last week declared the village as a containment zone. The administration is taking care of the loding and boarding facilities of all the relocated population. The meals are prepared in kitchens under CCTV surveillance, with food samples sent for testing at NFL Ghaziabad and Patoli Food Testing Lab, Jammu.

Ranji Trophy: Kohlis Presence Results In DDCA To Open More Gates For Fans And Step Up Security

Prime Minister Narendra Modi: Seeing the overwhelming number of fans in attendance for the Delhi-Railways Ranji Trophy game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) has stated that more gates are slated to be open for letting in spectators keen to see Virat Kohli in action. Sources in the DDCA told IANS that once the VIP movement, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi pays homage to Mahatma Gandhi at Rajghat, is cleared after 11am, the association will open rest of the gates in the stadium to allow for more fans entry, as Kohli marks his return to Ranji Trophy after more than 12 years. The sources have also said that top DDCA officials are currently meeting to get food arrangements for fans up and running from day one. It is understood that the expectation for fans attendance by DDCA was at 10,000, with gates 16 and 17 opened, and entry to be done on the basis of Aadhaar card. But with fans upwards of 15,000 coming from all parts of Delhi, as well as Noida, Ghaziabad and rest of the NCR region thronging the stadium and standing in queues from as early as 3am, DDCA calculations went awry and they had to open gate number 18 for spectator entry before action began at 9:30am, as Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first against Railways. The fans wishing to see Kohli in action were chanting names of him and IPL team Royal Challengers Bengaluru outside the venue, as well as in the Gautam Gambhir and Bishen Singh Bedi stands. With the work on food arrangements going on, RO water counters are already present in the stadium and are in working condition. Sources also said the DDCA are increasing the presence of police personnel, aside from the previously made private security arrangements, especially after an eager fan ran in from North Stand to touch Kohlis feet during the 12th over and was taken away, though the batting stalwart, stationed at second slip, asked for the intruder to be not hit harshly. We generally have 25-30 people for security in a Ranji Trophy game at Delhi. But with Virat coming in, we got 50 and now 100 security personnel in the stadium. We will get police people once they are done with their work around VIP movement in Rajghat, added the sources. Sources also said the DDCA are increasing the presence of police personnel, aside from the previously made private security arrangements, especially after an eager fan ran in from North Stand to touch Kohlis feet during the 12th over and was taken away, though the batting stalwart, stationed at second slip, asked for the intruder to be not hit harshly.

Ranji Trophy: Kohli Returns As Delhi Win Toss, Elect To Bowl First Against Railways

Arun Jaitley Stadium: Virat Kohli confirmed to play a Ranji Trophy match after 12 years as Delhi won the toss and elected to bowl first against Railways in their Elite Group D match of the ongoing season at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Thursday. Kohlis last Ranji Trophy game for Delhi came against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad in November 2012. But following the BCCIs policy for Indian players to play domestic cricket when possible, Kohli turn out for Delhi in the Ranji Trophy. His return comes at a time when Delhi, at sixth place with 14 points, have a very slim mathematical chance to enter the Ranji Trophy knockouts. They need an outright win over fourth-ranked Railways, but that may not be enough to enter the knockouts. Such has been the craze of seeing Kohli in action in the Ranji Trophy that security officials at the stadium told IANS that fans had been lining up outside since 3am to enter the venue. With an overwhelming crowd outside the venue chanting relentlessly for Kohli and RCB, DDCA sources told IANS that Gate Number 18 has been opened after Gates 16 and 17 were opened. Railways, on the other hand, will be led by Suraj Ahuja after regular skipper Pratham Singh was unavailable due to injury. For Delhi, Kohli comes in for Jonty Sidhu, Pranav Rajvanshi replaces Rishabh Pant and pacer Money Grewal enters in for left-arm spinner Harsh Tyagi.

SRINAGAR: Over 360 residents of Badhal village in Jammu and Kashmirs Rajouri district, where 17 people died of a mysterious illness, have been moved to government accommodations for quarantine at the district headquarters. The decision to shift villagers to government centres for quarantine was taken after the Rajouri district magistrate declared the village to be a containment zone last week.

Ranji Trophy: Kohli Takes Centre-stage As Delhi Take On Railways (preview)

Arun Jaitley Stadium: In recent winter days of New Delhi, the sun shines intensely after the early morning cold goes away. As people bask in the winter sun for their Vitamin D intake, cricket fans in the national capital will soak in the sunshine at the Arun Jaitley Stadium from Thursday. Delhi, with a very slim mathematical chance to enter the Ranji Trophy knockouts, face Railways in their final Group D clash of the season starting on Thursday. Their knockout hopes hinge on many favourable outcomes, but the attention of fans thronging the stadium will be fixed on the talismanic Virat Kohlis batting performance in the coming four days. One should remember Kohlis last Ranji Trophy game for Delhi came against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad in November 2012. In those days, cricket wasnt as hectic as it is now, while social media boom was still a few good years away. Now, following the BCCIs recommendation for Indian players to play domestic cricket when possible, Kohli is set to play a Ranji Trophy game for the first time in 12 years. A neck spasm delayed his Ranji Trophy return in Rajkot, but Kohli is now almost certain for his Ranji Trophy homecoming at a place where he began his journey to become an integral part of the Indian team across all formats. At the centre of every move Kohli makes in the match against Railways, his batting will come under supreme focus on a green pitch, as claimed by Delhi captain Ayush Badoni, to try and get an outright win. This match gives Kohli an opportunity to spend valuable time in the middle and gain some much-needed fluency before heading to two consecutive 50-over assignments for India. Dismissals outside off-stump largely defined Kohlis struggles in the 3-1 Test series defeat in Australia, his unbeaten Perth century being a notable exception. Now coming into the Delhi team after working on his game with former India and RCB batting coach Sanjay Bangar in Alibaug, it will be intriguing to see how Kohli shapes with the bat in a game, where hes the cynosure of all eyes and cameras. With Rishabh Pant not available and Pranav Rajvanshi likely to come in, Kohli joining the sixth-placed Delhi team is a huge help for their batting line-up, which was completely outplayed on a Rajkot pitch that turned from the start, resulting in a crushing ten-wicket defeat for them. Of greater concern to Delhi is the fact that they lost all ten wickets of their second innings between lunch and tea on day two. Moreover, the quality gap between Saurashtras experienced spinners, one being a certain Ravindra Jadeja, and Delhis young spinners, Shivam Sharma, Sumit Mathur and Harsh Tyagi, was evident too. Now that Sharma, Mathur and Tyagi are back in Delhi, one would expect a better performance from them. On the other hand, after taking the first-innings lead against Assam in Guwahati, fourth-placed Railways path to the knockouts is straightforward: they must win outright or by bonus points against Delhi, and hope Chandigarh and Saurashtra lose their matches. The exciting possibility of bowling to Kohli in a Ranji Trophy match presents a chance for fast-bowlers Himanshu Sangwan (who previously played for Delhi), Kunal Yadav, Purnank Tyagi, and Rahul Sharma to rise to prominence by outsmarting the batting stalwart. The young Railways bowlers will also benefit from the experience and insights of veteran leg-spinner Karn Sharma, whos shared the dressing room with Kohli for India and RCB. Railways batting hopes rest on Vivek Singh, Upendra Yadav, Mohammad Saif, and captain Pratham Singh to achieve a high score, especially with all eyes on Kohli in Delhis sunny yet chilly climes. Squads- Delhi: Ayush Badoni (c), Virat Kohli, Sanat Sangwan, Arpit Rana, Yash Dhull, Jonty Sidhu, Himmat Singh, Navdeep Saini, Money Grewal, Harsh Tyagi, Siddhant Sharma, Shivam Sharma, Pranav Rajvanshi (wk), Vaibhav Kandpal, Mayank Gusain, Gagan Vats, Sumit Mathur, Rahul Gahlot, Jitesh Singh, Vansh Bedi. Railways: Pratham Singh (c), Vivek Singh, S A Ahuja, Upendra Yadav (wk), Mohammad Saif, B H Merai, Anchit Yadav, Karn Sharma, Purnank Tyagi, Kunal Yadav, Himanshu Sangwan, K T Marathe, Ravi Singh, Ayan B Chaudhari and Rahul Sharma Delhi: Ayush Badoni (c), Virat Kohli, Sanat Sangwan, Arpit Rana, Yash Dhull, Jonty Sidhu, Himmat Singh, Navdeep Saini, Money Grewal, Harsh Tyagi, Siddhant Sharma, Shivam Sharma, Pranav Rajvanshi (wk), Vaibhav Kandpal, Mayank Gusain, Gagan Vats, Sumit Mathur, Rahul Gahlot, Jitesh Singh, Vansh Bedi.

Delhi polls: Amit Shah, Yogi lead BJP ralliesinDelhi

New Delhi: The BJP launched an unprecedented and extensive campaign across election-bound Delhi on Tuesday, holding 43 rallies. Leading the charge were Union home minister Amit Shah and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to follow up with a public meeting on Wednesday. Mr Modi is slated to address a public meeting at Yamun Khadar themed as Viksit Dilli Sankalp rally on Wednesday. In all, Mr Modi will hold three rallies in the city ahead of the February 5 polls. Mr Shah held a roadshow and addressed two public meetings, Mr Adityanath addressed three public meetings in support of BJP candidates. Rajasthan chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma sought voters' support for party candidates in four public meetings while Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini addressed three. After holding a roadshow in Kasturba Nagar in support of BJP candidate Neeraj Basoya, Mr Shah addressed the public in the Kalkaji constituency, where BJPs Ramesh Bidhuri is contesting against chief minister Atishi and Congress leader Alka Lamba. Mr Shah accused AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal of falsely alleging that the Haryana government mixed poison in the Yamuna and dared the AAP supremo to make public the DJB report that he cited to level the charge. Noting the AAP chief had also claimed that he saved the people of Delhi by stopping the poisonous Yamuna water from entering Delhi, Mr Shah asked him to show the official order issued in this regard. Kejriwal ji, winning and losing are part of the election process. Making an innocent face, you accused the Haryana government of mixing poison (in the Yamuna) and tried to scare the people of Delhi. Politics cannot get dirtier than this, he charged. Mr Shah alleged that AAP leaders were liars and said no one could match Mr Kejriwal when it came to breaking promises. February 5 is a very big opportunity for the people of Delhi to get rid of this 'AAPda'. Vote for the BJP, make Ramesh Bidhuri win (from the Kalkaji seat). Kalkaji will be made No 1 in Delhi, he told the gathering later he campaigned for partys candidate Narayan Dutt Sharma in Badarpur seat. Upping the ante, Mr Adityanath dubbed Delhi's ruling AAP a symbol of corruption and anarchy and urged people in the national capital to vote for a double-engine government of the BJP. Launching a blistering attack, the UP chief minister said AAPs jhadu election symbol should be forfeited for pushing the capital into a civic mess. Mr Adityanath addressed three rallies in Mangolpur, Vikaspuri and Rajinder Nagar, criticising Mr Kejriwal over the stinking Yamuna and accusing the AAP of making Delhiites thirst for water. Sometimes I wonder if the party is possessed by the spirit of Aurangzeb, he remarked. If you had moral courage, you would have taken a dip in the Yamuna, along with ministers of the AAP government, Mr Adityanath said, referring to a recent dip he had taken at the Sangam in Prayagraj during the ongoing Maha Kumbh. He also charged that the party spread anarchy by sheltering Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators. AAP committed 'sin' by providing Aadhaar to Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators in south Delhi's Okhla, he said. AAP's public representatives and office-bearers forcefully occupied hundreds of acres of land of the Uttar Pradesh government's irrigation department near Jamia Nagar and settled Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, he added. When the land was not vacated despite repeated warnings, Mr Adityanath said he sent the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and bulldozers and, with the Delhi police's help, cleared the land. Mr Adityanath alleged that civic amenities and infrastructure had collapsed in Delhi and people from the city were settling in Noida and Ghaziabad both in Uttar Pradesh for better facilities. Actor-turned-politician and Lok Sabha Members Manoj Tiwari and Ravi Kishan had addressed five and three public meetings respectively seeking votes for saffron party candidates. Union ministers Hardeep Singh Puri, Manohar Lal Khattar, Giriraj Singh, Sukanta Majumdar had addressed one, two, three and two public meetings in support of saffron party candidates. Other prominent leaders, like former Union minister Smriti Irani, member of Parliaments Kiran Choudhary, Bhola Singh, Umesh Nath Maharaj and Pravin Khandelwal, also addressed public meetings in support of BJP candidates. Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Suvendu Adhikari and Rajasthan deputy chief minister Prem Chandra Bairwa also sought votes for BJP candidates. Former MP Locket Chaterjee, BJP SC wing national president Lal Singh Arya, party spokesperson Gaurav Bhatia also addressed public meetings in different parts of the city.

This was owing to a BCCI diktat that players should prioritise domestic cricket whenever their international schedule allows them. While Rohit (Mumbai) and Rishabh Pant (Delhi) did not have much success for their respective teams, veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja starred with a 12-wicket haul for Saurashtra and Shubman Gill posted a hundred for Punjab, albeit in a losing cause. Pant, Rohit, Yashasvi Jaiswal (Mumbai) will not be playing the upcoming Ranji matches as they gear up for the ODI series against England starting February 6 in Nagpur. KL Rahul will, however, turn up for Karnataka.

Delhi polls: Kejriwal's Rs 1.7 cr land vs Vermas crore-plus portfolio

As Delhi gears up for its upcoming Assembly elections, the two main contenders for the New Delhi constituency, Arvind Kejriwal of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Parvesh Verma of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), have filed their affidavits, providing the public with insights into their financial details. Both candidates have disclosed information regarding their assets, income, liabilities, and other financial particulars, shedding light on their wealth and sources of income as they seek to lead the capital city. Kejriwals Modest Financial Profile Arvind Kejriwal, who is bidding for a third term as Delhis Chief Minister, presented an image of financial modesty in his affidavit. Notably, Kejriwal declared that he does not own a car, despite previously owning a Maruti Wagon-R until 2015. He reported that the car was stolen in 2017, which led to a brief public spat with former Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal over security concerns. His income has seen fluctuations over the years. In 2020-21, Kejriwal reported earning Rs 44.9 lakh, but his income dropped significantly in the following year, with a reported Rs 7.21 lakh for FY 2023-24. The primary source of his income is his salary as a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) from Delhi. Additionally, Kejriwal revealed that he has savings of Rs 2.81 lakh in his State Bank of India account and Rs 40,000 in cash. Kejriwals affidavit also disclosed an ownership of land in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, which he purchased in 1996 for Rs 3.5 lakh. The land is now valued at Rs 1.7 crore. However, its worth noting that Kejriwal is facing 14 pending criminal cases, including allegations related to the Delhi liquor policy scam and defamation lawsuits from Gujarat University. Vermas Affluent Profile and Substantial Assets In contrast, Parvesh Verma, the BJPs candidate, presented a far more affluent financial profile. Verma declared a substantial income of Rs 19.68 crore for FY 2023-24, a significant increase from Rs 12 lakh in the previous year. His affidavit also lists cash holdings of Rs 2.2 lakh, bank accounts totaling over Rs 1.28 crore, and investments in shares and market instruments valued at Rs 52.75 crore. Verma owns three cars, including a Toyota Fortuner, Toyota Innova Hycross, and a Mahindra XUV, with a total value exceeding Rs 56 lakh. His financial declarations also include savings of Rs 17.8 lakh in various instruments. Despite these impressive assets, Verma is currently facing a case filed by the Election Commission for violating the Model Code of Conduct after distributing shoes during a temple visit. A Key Moment in Delhis Political Landscape As Delhi heads to the polls on February 5, 2025, the affidavits of these two prominent figures offer a glimpse into their financial standing and personal wealth. With Kejriwal aiming for a third consecutive term and Verma seeking to challenge his dominance, the New Delhi seat remains one of the most closely watched contests in this election. The results, which will be counted on February 8, 2025, could have far-reaching implications for the future of Delhis governance.

Former Army chief VK Singh sworn in as Mizoram governor

AIZAWL: Former Army chief VK Singh on Thursday took the oath as the 25th governor since Mizoram attained statehood in 1987. Singh, a former Union minister, replaced Hari Babu Kambhampati, who was appointed as the governor of Odisha. Gauhati High Court Chief Justice Vijay Bishnoi administered the oath of office and secrecy to Singh in a ceremony at the Raj Bhavan in Aizawl. The ceremony was attended by Chief Minister Lalduhoma and his cabinet colleagues, Assembly Speaker Lalbiakzama, Deputy Speaker Lalfamkima, MPs, MLAs, senior bureaucrats and top police officers. Former CMs Lal Thanhawla and Zoramthanga were also present at the programme, besides church leaders and representatives of different organisations. Singh was appointed the governor by President Droupadi Murmu on December 24. Although the oath-taking ceremony was initially scheduled for January 9, it had been deferred to January 16 due to the health issues of Singh's relative. Singh born in 1951, served as the 24th Chief of Army Staff, from 2010 to 2012. After he retired from the military, he joined the BJP in 2014 and was elected to the Lok Sabha from the Ghaziabad constituency in UP in that year's general election. He was re-elected from the same seat in 2019. During PM Narendra Modi's first term, he served as the Minister of State for External Affairs, MoS (Independent Charge) for the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), and MoS for Statistics and Programme Implementation. He was the MoS for Road Transport and Highways, and Civil Aviation in Modi's second term.

Kejriwal calls out Modis speech for abusive language

NEW DELHI: In a sharp retort to Prime Minister Narendra Modis repeated attacks on the AAP at the BJPs Parivartan Yatra in the national capital, former chief minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday likened his speech to abusive language. The AAP chief said: Abuse us. Take 50 minutes to do so in your next speech if you need to. But take 4 minutes to address the issues we have brought up. Dubbing the AAP as an aapda (disaster) yet again, Mr Modi asserted that any responsibility given to the Kejriwal-led party will be a punishment to the people. Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections in the national capital, the Prime Minister also inaugurated a 13 km stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor from Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad to New Ashok Nagar and the Delhi Metro's Phase-IV section linking Janakpuri West with Krishna Park Extension. While describing the two projects inaugurated by the Prime Minister as milestones for Delhis infrastructure, Mr Kejriwal claimed that both are joint ventures between the Central and the city governments. In a veiled dig at the Opposition parties, he said, These inaugurations are a reply to those who say the AAP only engages in fights. As Mr Kejriwals remarks underlined the AAPs focus on development amid its continuing tussle with the Centre, the Congress and the BJP continued to spar over the timing of the inauguration of the new projects. While Congress candidate from the New Delhi constituency Sandeep Dikshit said the event was held before implementing the model code of conduct for the Delhi elections, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla hit back, saying, The Congress' cynicism and criticism never end. Referring to the challenges faced by his party, Mr Kejriwal claimed that the AAP leaders were imprisoned and tortured but maintained their focus on governance. Over the past 10 years, our tenure has shown how we kept work above everything else, he said. Mr Kejriwal also alleged that the Prime Minister devoted the majority of his speech to criticise the Delhi government. Today, the Prime Minister kept abusing the people of Delhi and the government elected by them. I was listening to itit felt bad. The promise made by the Prime Minister in 2020 the people of Delhi dehat are still waiting for that to be fulfilled. He also urged Mr Modi to fulfil the promises made in the BJPs election manifesto during the last Delhi polls. The PM had promised that Sections 81 and 33 of the Delhi Land Reforms Act 1954 will be scrapped. This is something only the Central government can do. Both the Congress and the AAP governments sent proposals to the Centre, but they were ignored, he alleged. Mr Kejriwal also demanded the withdrawal of cases filed against farmers in rural Delhi and reiterated the need to repeal these sections of the 1954 Act. Section 81 mandates eviction for land-use violations, restricting rural land to agriculture, horticulture, animal husbandry or poultry purposes. Section 33 imposes rules on the sale or transfer of such land. Mr Kejriwal claimed the BJP failed to grant ownership rights to farmers for their allotted lands, despite repeated assurances. I request the PM to address these promises when he next seeks votes in Delhi. Rural Delhi's people are waiting, he added. The AAP chief also accused the Centre of stalling the citys progress by delaying the notification of the Master Plan of Delhi 2041 and failing to implement the Land Pooling Policy, notified in 2018. If the Land Pooling Policy had been executed, Delhi would have seen the rise of several sub-cities like Dwarka and temporary colony issues would have been resolved, he argued.

AAPs work speaks louder: Kejriwal calls Delhi projects joint efforts with Centre, hits back at PM

AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday described the two projects inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as milestones for Delhi's infrastructure and claimed they were joint ventures between the central and the city governments. Modi inaugurated a 13-kilometre stretch of the Delhi-Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) corridor from Sahibabad in Uttar Pradesh's Ghaziabad to New Ashok Nagar here and the Janakpuri West-Krishna Park Extension section of the Delhi Metro's Phase IV. During a press conference, Kejriwal congratulated the people of Delhi and asserted that the projects were a collaboration between the city and the central governments. Taking a dig at his critics, Kejriwal said, These inaugurations are a reply to those who say AAP only engages in fights. Referring to the challenges faced by his party, he claimed AAP leaders were imprisoned and tortured but maintained their focus on governance. Over the past 10 years, our tenure has shown how we kept work above everything else, he said. He also hit out at Modi, alleging that the prime minister devoted the majority of his speech to criticise the Delhi government. Kejriwal said, Today, the prime minister kept abusing the people of Delhi and the elected government of Delhi. I was listening to it, it felt bad. The promise made by the prime minister in 2020 -- the people of Delhi Dehat are still waiting for that to be fulfilled. The former chief minister also urged Modi to fulfil the promises made in the BJP's election manifesto. With elections to the 70-member Delhi Assembly due in February, Kejriwal's remarks underlined AAP's focus on development amid its continuing tussle with the Centre. Modi, earlier on Sunday had accused the AAP government in Delhi of wasting a decade fighting the Centre and urged Delhiites to give the BJP a chance to transform the city . Addressing a rally in Rohini, Modi assured that no public welfare scheme would be discontinued if the BJP took power, but the party would focus on eliminating corruption in their implementation. He labelled the AAP government a disaster and promised change. Modi highlighted the Centres development efforts, including highway expansion, Metro network growth, and big hospitals, but pointed out issues like potholes, overflowing sewers, and traffic jams that Delhi residents face daily. He stated, Delhi has witnessed a state government that is no less than an 'aapda (disaster)', and claimed Delhiites were calling for change. The prime minister further criticized AAP for focusing on building the Sheesh Mahal during the COVID-19 crisis, neglecting the publics needs. Modi also dismissed AAPs alleged claims that a BJP government would end welfare schemes, assuring that central schemes would be revived with renewed vigor. Only by removing AAP, Delhi will see the double-engine of development and good governance, he said. Modi stressed the importance of the next 25 years for Delhi and Indias growth as a developed nation. (With inputs from PTI)
