The BJP has promised 1,000 permanent Chhath Ghats and water bodies in all parks. 6 theme-based parks are to be set up in and around Delhi, the manifesto mentioned.

Separate identity cards will be issued for journalists with free parking and arrangement for treatment through separate windows in hospitals.

BJP Promises Multi-Level Parking In All Major Markets

Multi-level parking will also be developed in all the major markets to ease the parking-related problems faced by the traders, Adesh Gupta said on Thursday, as reported by news agency PTI.

The party will also deseal the thousands of properties sealed on account of violation of MPD­2021 (Master Plan for Delhi-2021), the BJP Delhi unit president assured.

"Earlier also we took various steps to ensure transparency and simplify licensing procedures in the MCD, thus doing away with Inspector Raj. This process will be sped up further and the trade and health licenses will be issued through a simple online process," Gupta said in a press conference.

If the BJP wins a majority of the 250 wards in the December 4 polls, Gupta said the party will also ensure that the factories in the 30 industrial areas do not have to depend on licenses to boost manufacturing in the city.

According to the Delhi BJP president, house tax has been waived off under 'Samriddhi Yojana and traders in unauthorised colonies have been given the option to deposit the tax for one year and avail the tax dues of the past 17 years.

The counting of votes will take place on December 7.
