Expected teething problems, but response beyond expectations:

The AAP today said it had expected "teething problems" during the implementation of odd-even plan, but response from the people was "overwhelming and beyond expectations".
The party, which is often at odds with the Delhi Police, termed the law enforcing agency's efforts to implement AAP government's ambitious programme as "satisfactory".
"We were expecting some teething problems from people, but we are overwhelmed with the way people have responded to it. The result is beyond our expectations," senior AAP leader Ashutosh, who uses the Metro often, said.
He also appealed to the BJP leaders, a section which has been critical of the odd-even policy, to cooperate in the mission.

"It's fun. It's mission. It's for future. METRO ride a mission to make Delhi future safe and pollution free. Let's use METRO more often to make Delhi Pollution free for our own kids.
"May I request BJP to cooperate with folded hands to make ODD-EVEN a grand success. The scheme will also help kids of BJP leaders and they should support it," he tweeted.

AAP's Delhi unit secretary and Greater Kailash MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj said the response to the scheme was "surprisingly positive".
He added several party men car-pooled to attend inauguration of MLA office in Kalkaji.
"Even the response from the police was satisfactory considering that they must have worked late night owing to the New Year security arrangements. Overall, the response to the initiative was positive," Bharadwaj said.
