Development is everyone’s priority… will coordinate with AAP councillors & work together: Harish Khurana

What is your diagnosis of the problems Moti Nagar has faced in the last 10 years? What will you do in the first 100 days in your constituency?

There are a lot of problems in Moti Nagar. Roads are a problem. Sewers are jammed and we have to fix that. Clean drinking water has to be provided. A park has to be built in Sudarshan Park. A community hall has to be built. New public toilets have to be built in Sewa Basti. New drains have to be created and the sewage problem has to be resolved. The water tanker problem in DLF (Capital Greens, a society in Moti Nagar) has to be fixed. All such work will be started in the first 100 days.

All the three municipal wards in Moti Nagar – Moti Nagar, Ramesh Nagar and Karampura – have AAP councillors. How is your relation with them?

Ultimately, development is everyone’s priority. Party line is in its own place and we are in our own place. I will coordinate with all three councillors and we will work together. There are some issues which are under the MCD (Municipal Corporation of Delhi), such as parks and small roads. We will work together on these issues.

Will there be a blame game again with you saying that the councillors are not from BJP?

It shouldn’t happen. Ultimately, councillors had blamed their MLA for the work not being done, right? Now that the MLA has changed, there should be coordination, right?

Your father was among the first people to demand full statehood for Delhi in the early 1990s. Will that be on the BJP government’s agenda?

No comment on this.

Usually, JJ (jhuggi-jhopri) clusters have been a weak point for BJP. How did you convince JJ cluster residents to vote for you?

Development is the main issue. We have convinced everyone that we will undertake development works there.
