‘Govt concerned about people for the last 13 years’

In a strong statement to defend her government on Sunday, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said the government has shown concern for people of the city for the last 13 years.

She said her government was committed to delivering benefits to all the needy in the society and they would leave no stone unturned to provide help to the aam Admi (common man), the backbone of the overall development of Delhi.

Dikshit was speaking on the occasion of an international cooperative’s annual function, organised at Yamuna Vihar.

The CM also said the cooperative movement has proved to be solid bedrock for development in the country.

Dikshit said, ‘Due to substantial contribution by a number of cooperative societies, our economy has become rich and it has resulted in improvement of living standard. Lakhs of cooperative societies in the country have accelerated the pace of development. Cooperative movement has also gone a long way in consolidating the women empowerment movement.’

She added, ‘The movement was helpful in constructing a large number of dwelling units for members of the cooperative group housing societies in Delhi.’
After the debacle in the recent municipal elections, Delhi government is shifting their focus back on the votebank for the forthcoming Assembly elections slated next year.

Recently, Delhi Cabinet approved 1,018 unauthorised colonies to be developed soon after recommendations of the Group of Ministers (GoM) in respect of various issues related to unauthorised colonies.
