BJP started besieging the Aam Aadmi Party by releasing its video. After his resignation, his ministry will now be handled by Raj Kumar Anand.
Rajendra Pal had the responsibility of SC, ST, Women and Child Development, Co-operative Societies, and Gurdwara elections apart from the Ministry of Social Welfare. On becoming a minister, Raj Kumar got all these portfolios. Arvind Kejriwal made this announcement in a press conference on the completion of seven years of DDCD (Dialogue and Development Commission of Delhi).
Kejriwal said in the press conference that they had started DDCD so that if the government comes up with a new scheme, DDCD should do all the research related to it. He said that whatever schemes the Delhi government brings are successful. “I want to give credit to DDCD and that in seven years, DDCD has implemented more than 70 projects,” he said.
