Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will organise a 'Vikas Yatra' from Sunday, 11 February, onwards, in every constituency in Delhi, highlighting the "good work" done by the Kejriwal government and to mark its three years in power, Delhi’s Labour Minister Gopal Rai said on Friday.

Party functionaries, AAP ministers and its lawmakers will take part in the 'yatra' to popularise their government's work, a move that comes at a time when the party is looking at possible bypolls after the disqualification of 20 AAP MLAs.

The party is launching a drive to share the accomplishments of the AAP government with the citizens of Delhi on 11 February. The aim is to establish a dialogue with the citizens.

Rai stated that in the second phase of the ‘yatra’, party functionaries, especially booth in-charges, will meet residents of their areas and share information about the work done by the Delhi government.

The AAP government has not only provided round-the-clock electricity, but has also dramatically reduced electricity charges, claimed Rai, adding that the rate for low consumption of below 400 units of electricity have been halved.

By providing free water for those whose consumption is less than 20,000 litres the government has not only made water free for the poor, but also reduced water consumption, he said.

The work done on education and health is being lauded universally.
