AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and RLP supremo Hanuman Beniwal announced an alliance for municipal elections in Jaipur, questioning the government on poor roads and official claims.
Both leaders formally announced their new alliance for the upcoming municipal elections at a public meeting held in Bhatta Basti, Shastri Nagar, on Sunday.
Addressing the public meeting, Owaisi took the government to task over Jaipur's ground-level problems. He mentioned that upon entering the historic walled city area of Jaipur, a UNESCO World Heritage site, he saw broken roads and piles of garbage.
Owaisi clarified that the people of Jaipur are not demanding luxury facilities but basic amenities like walkable roads, clean water, sewerage, and better drainage.
Asaduddin Owaisi raised serious questions about the municipal administration by citing the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report. He stated that according to government data, only 11 to 25 percent of the total waste generated in Rajasthan's cities is properly processed.
He questioned where the development funds are being spent when the public is honestly paying their taxes. Owaisi alleged that the sewerage and drainage systems in poor and minority-dominated areas are defunct.
In his speech, Owaisi also cornered the government on the education and health systems. He referred to the recent incident of a government school wall collapse, raising questions about children's safety.
He claimed that thousands of school buildings in the state are in a dilapidated condition and require immediate repairs.
Furthermore, Owaisi criticized the government, citing the shortage of doctors and medicines in government hospitals and data on women's safety.
He said that the government is only patting its own back by showing investment figures on paper, while on the ground, neither jobs are being created nor are projects being initiated.
