New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today released its much-awaited ‘Vision Document' for the upcoming Delhi Assembly polls.
The ‘Vision Document' promises women safety and corruption-free capital among other fundamental issues like power, water, hospitals and transport system.
It also contains Prime Minister Narendra Modi's dream to replace jhuggis with concrete homes by 2022.
"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. 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,” Upadhya 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," Upadhya added.
Party's chief ministerial candidate Kiran Bedi, state unit chief Satish Upadhya, Union Ministers Harsh Vardhan, Ananth Kumar, Nirmala Sitharaman and senior leader Jagdish Mukhi released the document at state party office.
Party president Amit Shah and Modi were not present on the occasion.
Upadhya further said that the document charts how Delhi can be made a smart city, a knowledge hub, a skill development hub. “Our government in Delhi will be transparent and completely corruption-free,” the leader said.
The vision document, which has been brought out instead of a manifesto, was made by a committee led by Harsh Vardhan.
Bedi said that the document covers 270 points including women safety high on the agenda and it will help make Delhi a world class city by all standards.
"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."
