Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena implicated previous Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party nationwide convener Arvind Kejriwal of existing to the citizens of the shanty towns of Shakur Basti and of misdirecting them. He was describing Kejriwal’s declaration that the BJP desires the shanty towns to be knocked down. Saxena stated that the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has no such strategies and cautioned Kejriwal of activity versus him.
“Today Arvind Kejriwal went near the shanty towns ofShakur Basti The declaration he offered there relating to the Shakur Basti is a total lie. Citing the DDA conference of December 27, he stated that LG has actually altered the ‘land use’ ofShakur Basti DDA has actually neither altered the land use this nest neither has actually DDA provided any type of expulsion or demolition notification. Kejriwal is purposely informing an outright lie and misdirecting individuals …,” he stated.
Kejriwal, while going to the Shakur Basti shanty town in North West Delhi area, implicated the BJP of prioritising land purchase over the well-being of shanty town residents. “They want your votes first and your land after the elections,” he stated.
In his action, Saxena stated that on December 27, the DDA held a conversation for the adjustment of land usage yet it was for an additional location which had no shanty towns. He included that, also after the conference there was no choice made on the adjustment of land use that location.
“Two of Kejriwal’s MLAs were present in the DDA meeting on 27 December: Somnath Bharti and Dilip Pandey. If Kejriwal had talked to them, then perhaps he would not have lied. My advice to him is that he should stop lying on this subject with immediate effect. Otherwise, DDA will take action against them…” statedSaxena
He stated that if Kejriwal went to the shanty town location after that he need to have seen the unpleasant problem individuals are staying in there. “Who is responsible for their miserable condition? Sanitation, water supply, health services, MCD everything comes under Kejriwal,” he stated, attracting contrast with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Jaha Jhuggi Wahan Makan’ Yojana to offer version apartments to hundreds of shanty town residents.
