The 18 issues raised in Aam Aadmi Party's letter to Sonia Gandhi, Rajnath Singh
Following are the 18 issued raised by the AAP:
- The VIP culture should be stopped in Delhi. No MLA, minister or Delhi official will use a red beacon on their cars. Neither will they live in big bungalows nor take any special security.
- Passing of the Janlokpal Bill, the same version for which Anna Hazare held fasts.
- People will take decision directly in 'mohalla sabhas', which will be held in every locality and colony.
- The AAP demanded complete statehood status for Delhi. Central government's hold on DDA and Police should end.
- The party also demanded a special audit of all electricity companies in the national capital from the time these were privatised. The companies that refuse to participate, their licenses should be cancelled.
- Electricity meters should be checked.
- There is 220 litres of water available for every person daily. Where is it?
- AAP wants unauthorised colonies should be regularised. 30 per cent of Delhi's population lives in such colonies and these should be regularised.
- The party demanded to know if the Congress and the BJP will support its decision to give clean and affordable 'pakka houses' (built up houses) to those living in slums.
