BJP directs councillors to hold janta durbars
11 May 2013 6:22 AM IST
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has directed its councillors to hold Janta Darbar (public meetings) in their wards, twice a week to solve the problems of the common people.
‘Though the councillors have offices in their wards, these Janta Darbars will be held at a public place (such as a park).
The objective is to take administration in all three municipal corporations of Delhi to the doorsteps of common people,’ said Vijay Goel, Delhi BJP president.
‘The project is an outcome of a month-long consultation among the councillors,’ added Goel.
The public hearing will be conducted at a pre-declared time and place at least twice a week starting from 1 June. The common people in every ward would be able to approach their BJP councillor in these public hearings.
‘They can share their problems, concerns and suggestions,’ added Goel.
The party hopes that the move would be helpful to improve the image of the corporation.
‘The corporators would take ‘on the spot’ affirmative actions to resolve the issues, redress the concerns and implement suggestions with the help of the officials of the local civic bodies. The schedule of these public hearings will be made available to the residents of every ward,’ explained Goel. The Delhi BJP president hopes it will help councillors get closer to the public.
