AAP not implementing Centre's schemes in Delhi, created hurdles in Metro project: Hardeep Puri

New Delhi: Union minister Hardeep Singh Puri on Wednesday accused the AAP government of not implementing the Narendra Modi government's flagship schemes, including Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and Ayushman Bharat, in the national capital.

Addressing a press conference, Puri also alleged that the Arvind Kejriwal government created obstacles in the implementation of the Metro project in every phase.

At present, the Delhi Metro has been executing projects under the fourth phase of its expansion.

The Union Housing and Urban Affairs Minister said that his ministry has implemented projects worth Rs 53,000 crore in the national capital.

Delhi is slated to go to polls on May 25 in the sixth phase of Lok Sabha elections.
