NEW DELHI: BJP on Saturday cited the Delhi government’s “outcome budget report” to accuse the Kejriwal dispensation of spending huge amount of money on advertisements with big promises while little had been achieved on the ground.“No work on the ground is taking place on the big ticket announcements made by CM Arvind Kejriwal,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told a press conference.At a press conference, BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said that none of the “big ticket announcements” have been implemented on the ground. “The outcome budget says only 418 of the 4,470 projects linked to the development fund allocated to MLAs have been completed this year,” he added. The BJP functionary said the Delhi government had announced a “rozgar budget” but its own outcome budget has said that nothing has been done on it so far.Patra said Kejriwal had claimed that his government will introduce a facility on mobile phones, which will allow women in distress to reach out to police with the mere press of a button, but nothing has happened yet. “Money is not being spent to carry out work on the ground but for Kejriwal’s publicity. There is lot of sound but nothing on ground,” he alleged.Digital classrooms were promised but nothing happened and the outcome budget also says that only 37 per cent students benefited from the subsidy scheme for school uniforms, the BJP spokesperson said.“The government promised in the budget that homeless children will be provided shelter and education. The outcome budget says no information is available and guidelines for the scheme are yet to be finalised,” he said. The outcome budget is a progress card on what various departments have done with the outlays in the previous budget. It captures the progress of various schemes and projects and final deliverables from the citizens’ perspective. Patra noted that Kejriwal had promised installation of CCTV cameras across the city to help probe crime but only 60 per cent of the work had been finished. The AAP government said the national capital will have food and shopping festivals and identified five markets for it, but the outcome is zero, Patra said.He said it has not issued notification about its promised policy to promote start-ups. “This is the truth of Arvind Kejriwal. What he says is different from what he does,” the BJP spokesperson said. He also said that the Kejriwal government had done nothing much to curb air pollution in the capital.
