New Delhi[India], June 9 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Delhi, accusing it of “running bulldozers” on people’s houses, shops, and their jobs.
Singh told ANI on Sunday, “You have suddenly destroyed the houses of people who have been living there for 50-60 years…our brothers and sisters from Purvanchal, UP-Bihar are being destroyed. BJP has become a curse for the poor…they have created havoc in the whole of Delhi. They are running bulldozers on people’s houses, shops, their jobs…we will expose them…”
Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Sunday lashed out at Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Sanjay Singh and Saurabh Bhardwaj over their visit to the Madrasi Camp encroachment site in Jangpura, terming it a “drama” by an “autocratic party” aimed at misleading the people of Delhi.
“No one is touching the slums. This (AAP) is a drama party, and they are unemployed people. Their job is to mislead and deceive the people of Delhi. Whereas we are taking care of the people of Delhi in a positive way, doing overall development, following the court’s orders. It is our job to provide facilities, but if someone builds a house over a drain or on a road, then this will not work. We have to take care of everyone’s facilities,” she said.
Criticising AAP’s governance record, Gupta remarked, “This (AAP) is an autocratic party. What can I say about the thinking of a party that used to sit on dharna during its rule? We have to follow the Constitution, we have to run the government according to the Constitution. Our aim is to provide a permanent house to every person, but that work can be done only in a planned manner. This Delhi, which remained backward for so long after Independence, cannot be cured in 100 days. It will take years to cure it, but both our policy and intention are right.”
MP Sanjay Singh and Delhi unit President Saurabh Bharadwaj visited the Madrasi Camp in Jangpura after a demolition drive was carried out a few days ago here on the orders of the Delhi High Court.
Speaking to reporters, Saurabh Bhardwaj criticised the BJP government over their poll promises in the Delhi Assembly elections and accused them of betraying people living in JJ clusters.
On June 1, the demolition drive at Madrasi camp in Jangpura, South East Delhi, as authorities act on court orders to clear encroachments in the area along the Barapulla drain.
The operation was carried out to resolve the flooding issues caused by the narrowed drain, which obstructs water flow during heavy rains.
A total of 370 encroachments were demolished, with 189 residents deemed eligible for resettlement and allocated flats in Narela, while 181 are ineligible for resettlement. (ANI)
