The BJP leader castigated the previous Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) government for not adding a single bus to the DTC fleet over the past ten years as a result of which all the transport corporation buses have surpassed not only their legal fitness lifespan but exceeded it by over two years.

He said it is due to the negligence of the AAP that there is a shortage of buses in the national capital even as the BJP-led government is continuously working to resolve this shortfall.
He stated that the Rekha Gupta government is working with a clear mission, and is committed to providing a public transport fleet of 11,000 buses for the residents of Delhi by the end of 2026 as per the requirement.
