The Delhi BJP on Monday slammed Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for “indulging in politics” over death of six-month-old infant, who allegedly died during demolition of a slum cluster in West Delhi’s Shakur Basti.
Targeting the CM, Upadhyay said, “He has a particular way of appearing on channels and show himself as a well wisher. For the past one year his Government did nothing to settle the slum dwellers although 5,000 houses are ready.”
Attacking Kejriwal, State BJP president Satish Upadhyay said, “Politics over death of an infant is not the culture of Delhi.” Stating that it was time to help the slum cluster’s evicted inhabitants instead of indulging in politics, he said “there are four years left for politics.”
“The Delhi Government may seek a reply from Railways over the demolition and BJP has nothing to do with it,” he said. “We are doing what needs to be done by supplying food, blankets and other necessary items to the slum dwellers, besides a team of MCD and its ambulance have been sent there,” he said.
Also, the Delhi Government needs to help them by providing the facilities of food, drinking water, night shelters and offering them residential facilities, the BJP leader said.
