'You MLAs were asking for commission'
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) people are playing a video which is going on today. Know the truth behind it. Road construction work is going on over Vikaspuri Ring Road for the last several days. On behalf of the MLA General Singh, the engineers of the PWD Department were asked to introduce us to the contractor and get the commission from them. He had been telling them this for a long time. Our engineer has gone to the police station and given a complaint. An FIR is being lodged against him. And because of this, when General Singh did not get any commission, as soon as he laid the road at night, he would go in the morning and do the work of uprooting it and this is complete corruption. Was making a video of it and posting it. Today when I was leaving that way, I told the engineers that I wanted to see the entire work once. When I stopped there and saw the work, the work was going very well. The people there told me that this road was not built for 15 years. The road is being built after 15 years. Perhaps the Aam Aadmi Party is saddened by the fact that all the roads are being built in Delhi. The roads which were not built for 15 years.

Read :- The young man abused my family… After the slap incident, Pravesh Verma released the video and told
Minister Pravesh Verma said – 'MLA General's worker abused me'
I myself called the MLA General Singh three times. I waited for him for 45 minutes. I did not call our workers there. When General Singh reached there, he informed his workers in advance and when he came, they started misbehaving there. When one of their workers started abusing my family, I did the same thing any person would do out of anger. I want to tell the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) that the work which you could not do is being done today by our government, that is why you are feeling pain in your stomach. But if anyone says anything to my family or about our actions, we will get a third party audit done and a core cutting report done. But if someone obstructs government work, damages our property while carrying out government work and asks for commission from our officials like the Aam Aadmi Party MLA, then we will not tolerate this. So this is the truth of today's entire incident which I have presented before you.
What is the whole matter?
