He said, "The Delhi government did not do anything for Shahabad Dairy region. Nothing was done in Shahabad Dairy in the last two years. Even a crematorium was not built there."
"School building was not built. I tried several times. But, no one listened to me," Ved Prakash said.

"The minister does not pick up phone calls from an MLA," Ved Prakash complained.
Ved Prakash Satish is the vice-chairman of Delhi Khadi Gramodyog and also the chairman of District Development Committee.
"I had not come here to become an MLA. I went there thinking that something new was going to happen. I don't have lust for an MLA's position. This is why I tendered my resignation," Ved Prakash said.
