It also has a ‘Scheme Registration Form’ attached, asking for people’s details like their Aadhaar number, name, and father’s name among others.
The 'vachan Patra' has a form which they will fill and the BJP workers will submit them to the departments concerned and the slum dwellers will get houses, said North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari.
