RWAs have been the ONLY OPPOSITION PARTY in Delhi for the past 15 years !

Dear Vohra ji,

Congratulations that RWAs representative from AAP has won the Gandhi Nagar constituency for the Delhi Assembly. Hope you must have an excellent rapport with him to build up contacts and get things done through him, whose Govt. is in power with an awesome strength beyond doubt!!

True there is no opposition at all to the party in power and we the RWAs need not assume the power or don the garb to be 'the opposition party' to get things done! This is my personal opinion. So long the party in power is responsive, approachable and listens to our grievances common to all and resolve them in phases, the real 'aam aadmi' at large will be satisfied and appreciate the efforts made by the Govt. In retrospect you will see that the govt. agencies do not even attend to your genuine complaints/requests promptly and effectively and are not pro-people but show their power to the poor people, who have no means to approach higher authorities to pose their problems. 

As you are aware and of course you have been focusing too time and again, our common grievances and works to be done in the colonies for the welfare of the residents and their families. Hence your, rather our front' has a very vital role to play in resolving all the pending major issues focused to you from time to time and consolidated them in a cogent and convenient way topic-wise and colony-wise and present them as a joint document to CM and his associates to take prompt action in a phased and time-bound manner which will bring about the greatest satisfaction to all and all of them will bless the Ministers concerned from the core of their hearts! Can you do it in the over all interest of all RWAs, whom you represent and confirm. If not available readily, you may once again seek the same from the RWAs within a target date and consolidate and present them, say within a month or so giving adequate publicity to the same to all concerned. This will the greatest singular contribution of the Front whose voice, I am confident, will be heard and responded too!

As far as 'Anand Vihar' is concerned, I repeat the major issues as a ready reckoner for doing the needful further:-

1. Cleaning of storm water drains, punching the surface to act as a measure of rain water harvesting, thoroughly.
2. Cleaning of sewarage lines mechanically to avoid accumulation and overflowing periodically.
3. Pruning of trees which prevent street electric lights to glow.
4. Cleaning of parks on a regular basis and undertake repairs of their compound walls and paining of railings.
5. Demolition of overhead tank inside the colony lying unused for more then four decades before endangering the lives and properties of residents nearby.
6. Ensure proper usage of tot-lots, nursery plots etc, for the benefit of residents.
7. Ensure safety and security of residents and their properties through the Police intensifying their pivotal role in this sphere.
8. Hand over the Community Hall constructed by the DDA but presently lying idle to the RWA for its effective use.
9. Removal of all encroachments to ensure smooth passage of vehicles and pedestrians.
10. Construction of 'speed breakers' where found necessary.
11. Assist the RWAs administratively and financially to make their work more effective and efficient.
12. Revise/amend all the contentious and outdated provisions in the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act/Rules.
13. Revamp the DCS office and get rid of corrupt practices prevailing thereat presently.
14. Ensure installation of mast lights where required.
15. Provide/improve the signates in the colonies for the benefit and guidance of all.
16. Assist in the provision of CCTVs inside the colony and in the prevailing security system.
17. Assess and find ways and means to solve parking problems inside the colony in phases to over come the present impasse!

P.S. Of course there may be many more but for the time being what struck me now, I have mailed above. E&OE.

With deep regards
TK Balu/Anand Vihar

RWAs have been the ONLY OPPOSITION PARTY in Delhi for the past 15 years !

Yeah! Mr Rajiv Kakria is absolutely right. It's the RWA community of Delhi that is always ready & willing to face any Govt. RWAs of Delhi did it earlier and will continue to do it, as ever, in future also. 

Plz mail us your comments in this regard. Plz mail to : rwabhagidari@yahoo.in

RWAs have been the ONLY OPPOSITION PARTY in Delhi for the past 15 years !

Dear Friends,

Yesterday afternoon I sent the following SMS to Arvind Kejeriwal, Manish Sisidia, Saurabh Bharadwaj and a few others in AAP ......

"Congratulations. I think NOW I will have to don the opposition hat n hold you up for the promises ....... :)"

This morning I read an article in Hindustan Times .... "Lack of an opposition may give unbridled power to ruling party" .... see attachment.

This got me thinking ....... where has been the opposition in Delhi for the past 15 years? Every matter of Public Interest of the Citizens of Delhi was raised by RWAs and fought Tooth and Nail ..... both on the Streets or in the Courts.

I cannot think of any issue that a Political party has raised effectively or debated in the Vidhan Sabha, MCD, Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha with any success.

The Center, Delhi Vidhan Sabha and MCD are MERE TERRITORIES controlled by one party or the other ........ REMINDS ME OF 'THE GODFATHER'.

The Center controls Land and Police and the party in power reaps the fruit of office with identical policies, no matter which party is in power.

Delhi Vidhan Sabha gets to control DISCOMS, DJB, Transport, PWD etc and MCD gets to control Parking, Building Sanctions, Property Tax, Sanitation, Parks and the Ghost Staff they never hire or fire.

Over the past 15 years we have had Congress or BJP in Power at the center, Delhi VS and MCD, with no perceptible difference between the handling of affairs or the living condition of Delhites.

Power Tariffs, CWG, BRT, DJB, Master Plan, Parking, the list is long ...... have all been issues raised and opposed by RWAs ........ 

...... THE ABSENCE OF AN OPPOSITION IN THE DELHI VIDHAN SABHA will not be missed and RWAs are more than willing to continue doing what they have been doing for the past 15 years.

THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING .....  that this AAP Government is from a Different Mould of Politicians and have promised a Robust Consultative Governance Model ....... 

FINGERS CROSSED RWAs ARE WATCHING.

Warm Regards,

Rajiv Kakria
