"The last time we won 28 seats and arrogance arose in the party when we decided to contest across the country during the Lok Sabha elections and we lost. I have decided to work only in Delhi for the next five years" said Delhi CM in his 2015 oath speech.

As dengue and Chikungunya cases increase in Delhi, the Municipal Corporation has actually failed in its efforts to control the rise of the two diseases.

SYSTEMATIC FAILURE

So far, more than 560 people have been hospitalized for Chikungunya and close to 1000 with dengue. India Today's special investigation found a failure in the part of government hospitals, failure of MCD to fog every locality of Delhi according to the requirement and failure to even provide healthy ambulances to ailing patience.

"We came at 6 am and it is noon now and we are still in queue to get a basic check up done", said a patient in RML hospital.

A systematic failure in the system has left the citizens of the capital fearing the government isn't serious about tackling the issue. As one of the patients pointed out, it will end with the government passing the buck to the MCD and vice versa.



As the chief minister pledges to be in Punjab till he sends the Badals, the citizens are silently asking when his attention will return to his state. From Delhi's hit and run case to the Chikungunya menace, one common question on people's mind is will the CM now only care for Punjab?

Ranging from infrastructure to health, the entire city is suffering but the top ministers of Delhi Government are in different cities to address the concerns of those places since elections are approaching there.

OTHER CONCERNS

"Only if he has time for the people of Delhi, can we raise our concerns but he is busy trying to gain popularity in other states" said a north Delhi citizen.

While the CM is busy in Ludhiana, the deputy CM is in another election state, Manish Sisodia is in Goa.The second in command will strategise for AAP in Goa.

If that wasn't enough rural development minister Gopal Rai too has embarked on a 12 day journey for a workshop in Chhattisgarh.

There are no coordination meetings among MCD zones nor any corporation or government mechanism to handle the rising Chikungunya and Dengue cases in Delhi.

What seems to be in the priority is to market the moral high ground taken by the party after an alleged sex scandal figuring an AAP minister. What is apparent is the party's willingness to make more promises in more states. What is not apparent is if they will fulfil the promises they made to the state they won with a huge mandate.
