Delhi BJP on Saturday called the AAP protest a drama accusing the party of failing to strengthen an alternate public transport system vis-à-vis Delhi Metro
Leader of Opposition Vijender Gupta said that if the Arvind Kejriwal government was sincerely against the increase of Metro fare hike it should have done augment the public transport system as an alternative to Delhi Metro.
“Kejriwal government did not take any step to strengthen the public transport system. Considering population of Delhi, there is an urgent need for 11000 buses while the availability of buses is only 3900. In last 30 months the government it has not been able to add even a single new bus in DTC fleet. Delhi government is answerable to the people of Delhi for this failure. They should tell the people how many new buses are being added and the time by which these buses will become available to the people,” said Gupta.

Besides, he also termed Kejriwal’s direction to Chief Secretary (CS) to investigate increase in Metro fares, as a case of “mental bankruptcy”.
He said Chief Secretary is member of the Metro Fare Fixation Committee (FFC) and also the Board of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). “As a member of FFC, CS represented Delhi Government in the matter of fare revision. How can he investigate his own decisions? Delhi Chief Secretary is, therefore correct in his refusal to investigate this issue,” said Gupta.
“On one side, AAP supported the increase in metro fares in FFC and on the other side when the fares increased on the recommendation of this committee, Kejriwal Government is now opposing the same,” said Gupta.
