He declared that if he fails, he will resign.
Sumesh Shokeen, Congress:
Starting from the past, he said that when Dwarka sub-city came up, there were lot of problems but most of them have now been solved and this is a continuous process as we attend to one problem, other comes and all the problems cannot be solve in a day. He said that he is answerable for the problems after 2008 when he became the MLA adding that after he took over, the water supply has increased from 2.5 MGD to 8 MGD and the population of Dwarka has increased manifold and more water is required. By spending 800- crore, his govt. has made network for water supply and awarded the tender for this to L&T company. Informing that the plant for 50-MGD is ready and the Govt. has released Rs. 125 crore to Haryana for Munak canal and the water to Dwarka will be treated in that WTC. For solving the dispute with Haryana Govt, Group of Ministers has been constituted and if it fails, DJB will go to the Court for water from Munak. Mr. Shokeen said that in the past, Dwarka had only one police station and now there are three PS apart from DCP office in Sector 19. The outer Mudrika bus has been started by the Delhi govt. and we have also constructed two bus depots in sector 2 and 8. He said that the DDA is mainly responsible for parking problem as its planning was faulty. Delhi govt. has developed Delhi a lot and the Metro rail is an example of this. One more grid for electric supply is under construction in Dwarka besides that we have lot of other projects in hand. We will provide the facilities in Dwarka at par South Delhi and will see that the name of Matiala constituency is changed. The delay in 750-bed hospital is due to increase of beds from 500 to 700 and because of the addition of other services like Medical College by acquiring additional land. In fact, this will be Super Speciality Hospital which will be ready in the next three years.
Shri Narendra Yadav from Samajwadi Party and Captain Ajay Pandey, independent also assured the Dwarkaites that they will try their best to solve the problems of sub-city.
