AAP’s Rally Lacks Public Support, Says BJP
New Delhi, June 29 – Delhi BJP President Virendra Sachdeva criticized the Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) rally held in the name of slum residents, calling it a complete failure. He stated that when AAP leaders addressed the crowd, their “anarchic and unconstitutional mindset” was once again on display.
Slum Dwellers Reject AAP’s “False Campaign”
Sachdeva said AAP had been running a misleading campaign for nearly a month, but the people living in Delhi’s slums have now started questioning the party’s track record. “What has AAP done in the last ten years for slum dwellers?” they are asking.
Kejriwal Accused of Double Standards
Criticizing Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Sachdeva said, “Today, Kejriwal is pretending to care for the urban poor, but during the COVID crisis, his government forced these very people to return to their villages instead of protecting them.” He added that while the poor still struggle for housing in areas like Narela and Bawana, Kejriwal has built a luxurious “Sheeshmahal” for himself.
Serious Allegation of Inciting Violence
Sachdeva also alleged that AAP leaders, including Kejriwal and Gopal Rai, had previously provoked party workers to march toward the Prime Minister’s residence in the name of slum residents. He said such actions reveal the “Naxal-like” tendencies of AAP leadership, warning that their “radical language has no place in civil society.”
BJP Reaffirms Commitment to Slum Rehabilitation
Highlighting BJP’s efforts toward slum resettlement, Sachdeva said the party is determined to improve living conditions for people residing near drains and railway tracks. He cited successful rehabilitation projects in areas like Kalka Ji, Jailorwala Bagh, Kalandar Colony, and Kathputli Colony. “Through the ‘Jahan Jhuggi Wahan Makan’ initiative, we will continue to provide proper housing and a better future to slum residents,” he concluded.
