AAP govt gears up to mark first anniversary in office

New Delhi:  The Arvind Kejriwal government will highlight its achievements with the slogan 'Ek Saal Bemisal' at a function here on February 14 as it observes its first anniversary in power in Delhi.

Sources said the government will soon start a phone number which would allow the chief minister to interact with the people to hear their suggestions.

Though the government has not finalised the venue for the event, they said that Chhatrsahal Stadium or Talkatora Stadium will host the function on February 14.

A booklet of AAP government's achievements in the last one year too will be released at the event. AAP government would also seek suggestions from the audience on governance.

A senior government official said that the entire Cabinet led by the chief minister will attend the event.

"The CM has directed all departments to list their achievements in the past one year and submit them to the Chief Minister's Office. If any minister fails to showcase the achievements, the matter will then be taken seriously," sources said.

AAP government had organised a similar event at Central Park in Connaught Place to showcase its achievements in the first 100 days.

The entire Kejriwal Cabinet was present at the venue where all ministers took turns in comparing their achievements with the first 100 days of the Narendra Modi government at the Centre.

The Information and Publicity department is also planning advertisements as part of the anniversary celebrations across mediums, including radio and outdoor and newspaper ads, a senior official said.
