Delhi’s Bus Crisis Intensifies as AAP and BJP Trade Blame

Commuters face long waits and overcrowding while BJP highlights federal electric bus deliveries and upcoming fleet expansion.

Chief Spokesperson of AAP Prianka Kakkar

Overview

  • The AAP accuses the BJP government of removing 2,000 buses without alternatives, leading to overcrowding and long waits for commuters.
  • BJP dismisses AAP's claims, attributing the bus shortage to the previous AAP government's failure to add new buses over the past decade.
  • The BJP highlights the central government’s delivery of 1,700 electric buses under the FAME scheme as a measure to modernize Delhi's fleet.
  • Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is set to dedicate 400 new buses on May 2, as part of BJP's efforts to expand the fleet and address commuter concerns.
  • Both parties continue to exchange accusations over responsibility for the bus service crisis, with no immediate resolution in sight.
