Delhi News Today: More than 10,000 people working as marshals in Delhi’s DTC buses have been unemployed for more than a year. They are constantly pleading for help from the Delhi government and its ministers and MLAs to get their jobs back.
Recently, Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj had requested all the MLAs and MPs of Delhi to meet the Lieutenant Governor on a specific date and immediately resolve the problem of the marshals’ jobs. After which, Minister Atishi in the Delhi Government also advocated to the Lieutenant Governor to reinstate the bus marshals.
Now the BJP has fiercely attacked the Kejriwal government on this issue. Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva said that the Arvind Kejriwal government is responsible for the pitiable condition of unemployed bus marshals. He assured the bus marshals that after the 2025 assembly elections, when the BJP government comes to power in Delhi, we will ensure their rehabilitation under administrative rules.
‘Delhi government did not follow the rules’
Virendra Sachdeva alleged that the Kejriwal government did not follow proper administrative guidelines before inducting them into service. The government knew from day one that they had not followed any service rules and as soon as there was an inquiry, the marshals would lose their jobs. But the government never made any effort to fulfill the administrative requirements.
Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva said, “In fact, when the bus marshals’ six months’ salary was pending and they started protesting, Arvind Kejriwal himself ordered their dismissal and today when the elections are near, AAP leaders like Saurabh Bhardwaj are shedding crocodile tears for the bus marshals.”
Virendra Sachdeva said, “In the last one year, no minister of the Kejriwal government or AAP leader said a single word for the bus marshals, and even today their appeal to the bus marshals is to vote for them.”
