The head of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government looks confident with Corona’s control in Delhi to a large extent. He believes that now the situation will gradually improve. His government is also trying to get the economy back on track. Saurabh Srivastava and VK Shukla of Dainik Jagran held exclusive talks with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on the challenges and the strategy to achieve these goals. Here are the critical parts of this conversation.

How long does the government plan to start the house-to-house ration scheme?

The Delhi government is serious about this plan. This will be implemented from January 1. People will not have to go to the shop to get ration, and they will get quota at their house. The tender process is going on for this. At the same time, in the coming times, the people will visit the offices for government facilities completely. The government will soon discontinue the option of getting window services under doorstep delivery for various government services. Then these services will be fully available to the people at their home.

In a particular conversation on Saturday, Chief Minister Kejriwal said steps are being taken to close the window option in government services to eliminate the brokers’ influence. Once the tender process is complete, people will start getting service at home in a month or two.

Let us know that in Delhi, people will start getting ration at home from next year. Arvind Kejriwal government is beginning a door-to-door ration scheme from January 1. Simultaneously, window services in government offices will also be closed for services provided under doorstep delivery. Now all these services will be made available to the people at their home. Under this scheme, Delhiites can avail 100 types of services at their home.

Delhi and Mumbai are significant contributors to the country’s economy, but there are many challenges in getting the economy back on track. The trust of people associated with business and industry is not being maintained, what will you say?

Indeed, the economy in Delhi alone cannot come back on track. Goods come from other states, from Delhi also goes to other states. If the rest of the country’s economy will not sustain, Delhi alone will not be able to maintain it. We have opened markets, but the ground reality is that there are no buyers in the market, have opened restaurants, but no customers. However, fear has reduced in Delhi now compared to the rest of the country.

When is Delhi’s economy expected to be back on track, what steps is it taking? Will it also seek help from the Center?

The condition of the economy of the whole world is terrible. The economy of Delhi has also been severely affected due to Corona. We are trying to improve it, but a permanent solution will be found only when the corona vaccine arrives. Otherwise, people are terrified, even if they are not afraid, there are still many problems, which will take time for the situation to become healthy. How will the entire buses run, how will the metro run? How will markets fully open. Now there was talk of opening a weekly market; then, there was a long discussion in the meeting that if you begin a weekly market, the Corona will increase. Right now, it has been started as an experiment. We cannot even sit silently because of not getting the vaccine. As a government, we are taking all steps and working together with all sectors. Five thousand crore rupees have also been sought from the central government. Apart from this, the Central Government has also been requested to provide the amount of GST compensation.

Unemployment remains a significant problem: what is the government’s plan to overcome it?

We have started a job portal; it has yielded good results. A large number of both job seekers and job seekers have come on one platform. Some sectors have been severely affected by Corona. Even auto, rural service, etc. are included in it. Along with all this, we have also given financial assistance of five thousand rupees to construction workers.

The government does not have money, can the public get a discount on electricity and water?

Any exemption given to the public will not be stopped. The government can subsidize these, and these schemes will continue to run as before. If someone talks about halting the subsidy at such a time, it is not right. Allowances will not be withheld. This is the time to help people.

Given the present situation of corona infection in Delhi, how long can schools and colleges be opened? Would it be safe to open them?

The result of opening school-colleges internationally has not been good. In Israel, in the last week of May, the corona infection condition was entirely cured. Deaths had stopped, and Corona cases had reached double digits. In such a situation, they opened schools, and it’s terrible result came out. One and half of the children were found Corona infected in the same school. On this, he closed all the schools again. America also opened schools, where 97 thousand children got affected in a few days. Wherever we go now, the parents ask when the schools will open, I say the same thing until we are fully convinced, will not open the school-college, and our children’s lives are valuable.

Recently, there was talk of acquiring schools of Municipal Corporations on behalf of the Delhi Government. Is there any such plan? What is being done in this direction?

We are studying this. There are many political tricks in this. Technically, it cannot be said how long it will take, but theoretically, it should. We ask the municipal corporations that if they are unable to run the school, give it to us. Children are suffering; the situation is that five passing children are unable to read even the book.

Why are the teachers of Delhi University (DU) protesting over salaries?

I have been told that all the money has been given to DU. There is a dispute with some colleges over the governing body. DU has not taken further action on the names sent by the government. The DU administration should also think about this. It would be best if you did not insist on it. Everyone wants teachers to get their salaries on time; children should be adequately educated. DU administration and the education department should sit down and find a solution in this regard.

To reduce pollution in Delhi, AAP has notified the Electric Vehicle Policy. It will cost a lot of money in subsidy, etc., will the current situation be able to fund it, and will the target be met in time?

The electric vehicle policy that the Delhi government has implemented is the most progressive policy not only for the country but also internationally. Just two days ago, Union Minister of State for Power RK Singh appreciated it. We dream that Delhi has a place in the world map for electric vehicles in five years. Today, people take the name of China in the case of an electric vehicle; in the coming years, Delhi’s title should be considered. There will be no shortage of money because it will use the funds of the fund created for air pollution control, in which there is a lot of money.

The AAP government has a second term in Delhi with an absolute majority, but a solution to waterlogging’s problem could not be found. What is the reason?

This problem was very much when our government was formed. For two-and-a-half years, we worked on it a lot, got the drains cleaned. We made sure that the pipes were rinsed on time and pumps should be installed wherever it fills, and the water was drained out in half an hour. This time the drainage could not be cleared due to Corona. This is not the time for politics or press conferences, which should explain the drain problem. What will happen with the fight?

What is the permanent solution for the government to solve the problem of waterlogging?

The only solution to this is that all the big and small drains of Delhi should be given to one agency. The responsibility of cleaning them should be either with the Delhi government or with the municipal corporation. Somewhere there is a drain of a municipal corporation, and somewhere there is a drain of Delhi government. These drains will have to be completely redesigned. Now it is a situation that the strains are not even connected in many places.

Statement from IDigitalAKKI Media: Addressing Recent Reviews by Hikaya and Upholding Our Commitment to Integrity

Published

By

Gurugram, India – At IDigitalAKKI Media, we take immense pride in our commitment to delivering high-quality digital marketing services to our clients. Recently, we have observed a series of negative reviews on platforms such as Trustpilot and Google Reviews, primarily originating from a single individual under the pseudonym “HIKAYA.” It is important for us to address these allegations and provide clarity to our clients and the public.

The Allegations

The reviews accuse IDigitalAKKI Media of making false promises regarding Wikipedia page creation services, claiming that after receiving payment, we failed to respond to further communications and deliver the promised services. The reviews also allege that we requested additional payments for services and used abusive language.

Our Response

Firstly, we must highlight that these reviews were posted through fake accounts, a practice that is both illegal and unethical. Impersonating individuals to malign a company’s reputation is a serious offense. None of the reviews were posted through Hikaya’s real account, indicating an attempt to mislead and manipulate public perception.

When we initially asked the client for their name to raise an invoice, they provided the name “Skyddad Identitet,” which means “protected identity.” Despite this, we proceeded to provide the service first and then requested payment. The client delayed the payment by more than 24 hours, contrary to our agreement that the payment would be made immediately upon service delivery.

Regarding the services in question, we have fulfilled our obligations. The Wikipedia page for the client went live on July 28th and was handed over to the client. As part of our commitment to resolving the situation amicably, we also agreed to provide additional services, including 10,000 Instagram followers and a guarantee document for the stability of the Wikipedia page. Our statement to the client was:

“Dear Hikaya, We are going to provide you with a live link of Wikipedia, 10K followers, and a guarantee of stability. From which we already provided you Wikipedia and now within 24-48 hours we are going to provide 10K followers and the document. Meanwhile, the review which was posted by you on our company page should be removed from your side. Otherwise, it will create a conflict of interest and UPE on Wikipedia automatically. Thanks.”

Despite our efforts to meet these additional requests, the client continued to post negative reviews and threatened legal action if these additional services were not provided immediately. The client’s response was:

“That was the original deal that you couldn’t provide so why should I believe you now suddenly? Our new deal was that I will receive a receipt for the refund today and I should get the money back in a day or two. That deal will remain. However, we can extend our deal of the refund to 2 more days so that you can prove that you will do all 3 things above within a maximum of 48 hours. If all will be provided and maintained, of course, there will be a positive review and my experience would have changed so the old review will be taken down. If not all those 3 things are provided within a maximum of 48 hours, the refund will be done according to the deal and a receipt and transaction should be provided before this weekend.”

Additionally, the client expressed dissatisfaction after the page was handed over and requested a refund, stating:

“You can take it down after I get the refund. I don’t want your services. Yes, if you read our whole e-mail conversation you will find that I was given the option of a refund or an updated plan. However, the updated plan you promised didn’t work out for you as I haven’t seen any of the promises you made in that e-mail. I’m sure you have the right skills to do these things, but I lost trust and interest after your failures.”

Furthermore, the client demanded additional free services worth over $2,000, including Google Knowledge Panel creation and transferring the page to the standard Wikipedia, which were not part of the original agreement. In the client’s email, they stated:

“A resolution instead of a refund could be that you finally provide everything above and make the transition and panel without extra charges. I won’t transfer any money to your company again until time and evidence have shown that the things you do are accurate and won’t get down or vanish. So in short, you can keep the money and rebuild the relation with me as a customer and reverse any consequences if you:

  1. Re-upload the page with necessary edits [that you guys make, not me, because you have the responsibility to double-check to not violate the guidelines regardless of my opinions about edits].
  2. Make a transfer to the original Wikipedia [which already was the deal to start with when I was contacted by Gloster Media until it changed to “Simple Wikipedia”].
  3. A document or an email where you guarantee to always, without any charges, reupload and maintain the page without having it taken down.
  4. I’d provide a knowledge-panel as a gift for all the burden.
  5. I’d provide the IG document you talked about [even if this is not my priority currently].”

It is important to clarify that the claim that our CEO, Mr. Aakash Kumar Jha, used abusive language is false. In fact, it was the client who used abusive language, directly referring to our CEO as “bullshit.” The term “bullshit” is vulgar slang for something that is nonsense or lies, but in this context, it was used as a direct insult. We maintain professional conduct in all our communications and do not tolerate abusive behavior.

The Reality of the Situation

The individual behind these reviews has engaged in what can only be described as blackmail, demanding refunds and additional free services under the threat of posting negative reviews. This behavior is unprofessional and contrary to the ethical standards we uphold at IDigitalAKKI Media. Our commitment is to deliver value to our clients through transparency and integrity, and we do not succumb to coercion.

Our Stance on Ethical Business Practices

As a PR-specialized company, we have the capacity to issue statements and conduct public relations campaigns to clarify our position. Our objective is not to defame individuals but to present the truth. We remain steadfast in our mission to provide exceptional services and maintain our clients’ trust.

Moving Forward

IDigitalAKKI Media will continue to serve our clients with dedication and uphold the highest standards of ethical business practices. We encourage any client with concerns to reach out to us directly so we can address them promptly and professionally.

The Skinny Confidential/IDigitalAKKI Media – Unsettled Payments: A Lesson in Professionalism

In the fast-paced world of digital services, collaboration is key to achieving successful outcomes. However, there are instances when a seemingly smooth project takes an unexpected turn, leaving one party in a challenging situation.

Recently, our company (IDigitalAKKI Media) had the privilege of working with Lauryn Evarts Bosstick (The Skinny Confidential), a prominent figure in the digital entrepreneurship sphere. The project involved the creation and launch of Lauryn’s Wikipedia page, a task we undertook with enthusiasm and dedication.

As part of our standard operating procedure, we communicated the importance of settling an advance payment before initiating the project. Despite a mutual understanding, unforeseen circumstances with their preferred payment method, PayPal, led to complications. To accommodate, we provided alternative payment options, including bank transfers within the same country for added convenience.

Regrettably, even with our flexibility and willingness to work through challenges, the payment remains outstanding. Despite numerous attempts to communicate and find a resolution, our emails have gone unanswered.

This scenario raises questions about professionalism and commitment to financial agreements. In an industry that thrives on collaboration and trust, it is disheartening when a project’s successful completion is overshadowed by unresolved financial matters.

It is crucial to recognize the impact such situations can have on service providers, not just in terms of financial loss but also in terms of the strain it places on the professional relationship. This experience serves as a reminder of the importance of clear communication, mutual respect, and honoring financial commitments in collaborative endeavors.

As we navigate through this situation, our commitment to providing quality services remains unwavering. We hope this incident sparks a broader conversation about the importance of fair and timely financial practices in the digital business landscape.

In the dynamic world of business, collaborations and partnerships are forged with the expectation of mutual trust and professionalism. Recently, our organization, IDigitalAKKI Media, had an unfortunate experience that prompts us to reflect on the importance of integrity and communication in the business landscape.

The Stronghold Group LLC, represented by Mr. Dave Henderson, approached us for their branding needs. Eager to provide our services, we quoted a fair price of $600 USD for the project, and upon agreement, requested a 50% advance payment for security and to initiate the work.

However, what unfolded next took us by surprise. After completing the project with dedication and professionalism, we discovered that the payment made via PayPal had been disputed. Concerned, we reached out to Mr. Henderson, only to find ourselves blocked and unable to communicate with him.

We understand that disputes can arise within any organization, but effective communication is the key to resolving them amicably. It is disheartening to face such challenges, especially when we pride ourselves on delivering quality work and maintaining transparent relationships with our clients.

In the spirit of transparency, we want to share this experience as a cautionary tale for other businesses. In an interconnected world, it is crucial to prioritize open communication, professionalism, and adherence to agreements. Disputes are a natural part of business, but addressing them with honesty and integrity is paramount to maintaining a positive reputation.

While we explore legal avenues to address this matter, we encourage other businesses to be vigilant and prioritize robust communication channels. Contracts and agreements should be clear and comprehensive, outlining payment terms and dispute resolution mechanisms.

Our aim is not to defame The Stronghold Group LLC or Mr. Dave Henderson, but rather to highlight the importance of maintaining professionalism and trust in business relationships. As we navigate through this challenge, we hope to emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient in our commitment to delivering exceptional services to our clients.

In conclusion, let this be a reminder to all businesses that, in the face of challenges, professionalism and open communication can lead to resolutions that benefit all parties involved.
