Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival says his government saved Rs. 53 crores while constructing flyover in NE Delhi

The chief minister of national capital territory of Delhi Arvind Kejrival said that his government has saved rupees fifty three crores while constructing the Seelampur Shastri Park flyover before time, not only saving the tax payers hard earned money but also providing relief to thousand of commuters.

He added that the Seelampur Shastri Park flyover was expected to be built on a pre scheduled budget of Rs 303 crores but due to the Delhi government’s transparency n honesty this has been constructed before time and in merely 250 crore rupees thus saving Rs fifty three crores of public exchequer. It is this money which is used for providing free treatment and free medicines to the poorest n lower middle class sections of the society added Arvind Kejrival.

Arvind Kejrival was today addressing people after inaugurating this flyover which will immensely ease the traffic and will take few minutes to reach the UP border from ISBT terminus where earlier the commuters used to get stuck due to heavy traffic snarls n congestion for hours together.

Delhi chief minister Kejrival said that the AAP government have been carrying out various developmental projects in Trans Yamuna area including building hospitals for the poor n down trodden sections of the society by enhancing the quality standards and reducing the costs.

He added that earlier, a 1000 to 1500 bedded hospital used to be constructed in 1500 crore rupees but today we are constructing full fledged highly equipped hospitals of 1500 beds in merely half n even less than the fifty percent cost due to transparency and honesty.

Kejrival said the earlier costs used to be highly exaggerated as the contractors used to pay illegal gratification to the politicians but during our tenure we do not charge a single penny from contractors n engineers etc resulting in low construction costs of the construction projects in Delhi like hospitals, flyovers, roads etc.

Speaking to reporters later on Delhi CM Arvind Kejrival said that Covid 19 vaccine will be provided to each n every person in Delhi and the country irrespective of any discrimination.

The whole country will get free anti Covid vaccine as it’s the fundamental right of each n every Indian said Kejrival while speaking to reporters after the inauguration of the Seelampur Shastri Park flyover today.

It may be recalled that the union finance minister Dr. Nirmala Sitaraman has recently announced that in Bihar each n every citizen will get free vaccine after it is manufactured in the month of December followed by the Tamil Nadu CM Palaniswamy n MP CM Shivraj Singh raising controversy by politicising the issue.

He also acquainted about another addition to Delhi’s world class health care infrastructure regarding laying of the foundation stone of 1500 bedded medical block in LNJP hospital at comparatively lesser budget than the budgets of newly constructed hospitals during earlier regimes.
