Delhi's ruling AAP flayed the Centre for "hijacking its work" on Sunday
after reports suggested that no Delhi government Minister has been
invited for the inauguration of the Skywalk at ITO.
The invite
sent out by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs has the names of
Lt Governor Anil Baijal and Bharatiya Janata Party leader and MP
Meenakshi Lekhi but no names of any Minister or MLA from the Aam Aadmi
Party (AAP).
Union Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Hardeep Singh Puri is set to inaugurate the skywalk on Monday.
AAP's
chief spokesperson Saurabh Bharadwaj, in a statement, called Puri and
Baijal "retired bureaucrats" and Lekhi an "absentee MP" who follow the
diktat of the BJP government.
"It has been learnt from media
reports that the unique SkyWalk is now ready for public use and it will
be inaugurated by two retired bureaucrats and an absentee MP, following
the diktat of the BJP's central government," Bharadwaj said.
"The
two retired bureaucrats and the absentee MP will do well to study the
unique SkyWalk design properly and copy it for other locations in Delhi
and elsewhere, since the central government clearly lacks professional
expertise to execute such projects," said Bharadwaj.
Bharadwaj
said this was just another way of the BJP to "settle scores" with the
AAP for its defeat in the 2015 Delhi Assembly elections.
"The two
retired bureaucrats who are very fond of cutting ribbons and getting
their photographs clicked to claim credit for others' hard work belong
to a party which is settling scores with the people of Delhi for giving
their party a humiliating defeat in 2015."
The skywalk,
constructed by the Public Works Department (PWD) of the Delhi
government, has been designed to ease pedestrian movement along Mathura
Road, Tilak Marg, Bahadur Shah Zafar Marg and Sikandra Road.
