Rekha Gupta’s government is fulfilling the dreams of the poor, while Kejriwal’s government used to sell dreams to the poor to cheat them for votes — Virendra Sachdeva

Mahech Chandra - Delhi

Delhi BJP President Mr. Virendra Sachdeva has welcomed the announcement made following the meeting between Lieutenant Governor Mr. V.K. Saxena and Chief Minister Mrs. Rekha Gupta, stating that no government department in Delhi will be allowed to remove any slum cluster without first handing over possession of an alternative home to the residents.

The Delhi BJP President said that the BJP-led Delhi government is committed to providing in-situ housing — that is, homes at the same location where the slums exist — to slum cluster residents. At the same time, wherever slum dwellers are living in hazardous conditions, such as near drains or railway tracks, it is also the government’s duty to provide them with safer and better housing. 

Mr. Sachdeva said that every slum dweller aspires for a better home and a better life. However, over the past 27 years, the Congress and Kejriwal governments treated slum residents not as human beings, but merely as a vote bank, forcing them to live in miserable conditions without any basic amenities. In contrast, the BJP is committed to improving the quality of life for those living in slum clusters.

Mr. Virendra Sachdeva emphasized that while Mrs. Rekha Gupta’s government is fulfilling the dreams of the poor, Arvind Kejriwal’s government used to sell them false dreams and deceive them for votes.
