MP Government Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s statement regarding urban development and city administration has created a stir in the political circles. During a regional review meeting of urban development held in Bhopal, Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya said in clear words that in the past many announcements were made due to political compulsions, but now it has become a big challenge to implement those announcements on the ground. The minister also admitted that adequate budget is required from the central government to carry forward many schemes related to urban development.

Kailash Vijayvargiya said that urbanization is increasing rapidly and along with it the demand for civic facilities has also increased continuously. In such a situation, it is the priority of the state government to fulfill the basic needs like roads, water supply, sewerage, housing and traffic.

However, he also indicated that it is not easy to complete all the schemes on time with only state resources and this requires the cooperation of the Central Government. Political analysts are linking this statement of the minister with the pace of schemes and budget management in the coming times.

Government is not able to fulfill the promises made to the public – Congress

After the statement of Minister Vijayvargiya, the opposition has directly attacked the government. Congress spokesperson Abhinav Barolia said that the BJP government had come to power by making big promises and announcements, but now it is not able to fulfill the promises made to the public.

Calling it a question on “Modi’s guarantee”, he said that it is clear from the minister’s statement that the government now seems incapable of providing basic facilities to the public. Abhinav Barolia said that there is a big difference between the claims made at the time of elections and the reality.

BJP rejected Congress’s allegations

Whereas BJP has completely rejected the allegations of Congress. BJP spokesperson Ajay Yadav said that Congress is doing politics unnecessarily. He claimed that no public welfare scheme has been stopped in the BJP government and the state government and the central government are continuously working together in the interest of the public. Ajay Yadav advised Congress to remember the “divided government” of its tenure and said that instead of doing politics on the issue of development, there should be positive cooperation.

Overall, Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya’s statement has once again brought the ongoing preparations for urban development, budget challenges and political allegations and counter-allegations into focus. Now it remains to be seen how the government deals with these challenges in the coming times and to what extent it is able to fulfill the promises made to the public.
