The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Sunday alleged the BJP-ruled Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has sent demolition notices to the slums of Kasturba Nagar area without stating any reason.
The AAP leader, Deepak Singla said BJP-ruled DDA is going to demolish 200 jhuggis on August 18.
“Instead of protecting the people, BJP MLA Omprakash Sharma wrote to the DDA giving support to the demolition. Residents living in the slums for about 25-30 years, can't understand why BJP wants to make them homeless. AAP demands rehabilitation for all the victims before demolition,” said Singla.
“The BJP has decided to go on a rampage against the poor in Vishwas Nagar constituency’s Kasturba Nagar area.
The BJP-controlled DDA and the BJP MLA are conspiring to demolish a slum colony there. The DDA has sent a notice to the residents saying they’ll demolish their houses on August 8,” said Singla.
