Justifying Prime Minister Narendra Modi Government’s step to confer ownership rights to people residing in unauthorised colonies, Union Minister and Delhi State election in-charge Prakash Javadekar said the decision was taken to give property rights to them not to gain votes, ahead of Delhi Asssembly elections.
Hitting out Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP's) national convener Arvind Kejriwal, Javadekar said he is misleading the slum dwellers by distributing false certificates.
Pertinently, Chief Minister Kejriwal announced to distribute certificates under DUSIB survey.
According to Delhi government around 65000 slums have been identified as dwellers and Kejriwal handed certificates to them to ensure pucca building at their place.
Taking swipe on AAP, Javadekar said that Kejriwal has become enemy of slum dwellers by obstructing the scheme Jahan Jhuggi Wahin Makan.
Javadekar in the presence of other Delhi Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) leaders on Tuesday launched the campaign - Main Hoon Dilli.
"The decision of Modi Government to confer ownership rights to the people of unauthorized colonies is not a decision taken in view of the elections rather it is a decision to do justice to people," the Union minister asserted.
"Our government has erased the blot of unauthorized from the heads of 40 lakh people living in unauthorized colonies for the last 40 years," he added.
The Convener of Delhi Election Management Committee Tarun Chugh who was also there during the launch of above said campaign, said that we are facing an atmosphere of challenge these days because Aam Aadmi Party Government enjoyed the fruits of power for about 5 years but did not do anything for the people. It failed to fulfill the election promises.
"Delhi Government failed to implement the PMAY in Delhi under which the Jhuggi dwellers could have been provided houses. AAP wants to come to power again with the help of false promises. Our challenge is to expose this falsehood of Aam Aadmi Party.
"BJP will apprise the people about the Public Welfare Schemes of Modi Government and the failure of Kejriwal Government by making public contact. The people of Delhi will again vote for BJP in the upcoming Assembly Elections and will certainly form BJP Government in Delhi," he added further.
