The BJP on Monday blamed the AAP government for another “exodus of migrant workers” from the capital.
Leader of Opposition in Delhi Assembly Ramvir Singh Bidhuri said migrants were once again leaving the city amid rising COVID-19 cases as the Arvind Kejriwal government failed to provide free ration despite Supreme Court’s directions in this regard. was not fulfilling the responsibility.
“72 lakh cardholders are getting free ration from the central government. But the real problem is for the 60 lakh people who have applied for ration cards in Delhi since 2015, but the government has not issued them yet,” Mr. Bidhuri said.
“The Supreme Court had given strict directions to the Delhi government and reprimanded it for not arranging community kitchens and ration for them during the last COVID wave,” he said.
Mr Bidhuri said that despite the recent Delhi government’s announcement that such persons would be given free ration till May, this was not the case “anywhere” in the city.
“I urge the government to make a plan to take immediate care of the poor laborers and provide them ration and other facilities,” he said.
