Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said that the homes and shops of 63 lakh residents of the city would be bulldozed if the Bharatiya Janata Party-run civic bodies continued their demolition drives.
The civic bodies in Delhi have carried out anti-encroachment drives in several parts of the city since last month. However, political parties and activists have accused the BJP of targeting Muslim-dominated areas.
In a video message on Monday, Kejriwal said that the Aam Aadmi Party did not support encroachment either, but was opposed to the manner in which the illegal structures were being demolished.
“They [BJP] are planning to demolish all unauthorised colonies, slums and have a list of partial encroachments,” the chief minister said. “This would make about 63 lakh residents homeless...This will be the biggest destruction of independent India...Bulldozing won’t be tolerated.”
जिस तरह से भाजपा दिल्ली में लोगों के घर और दुकानें तोड़ रही है, वो सही नहीं है। 63 लाख लोगों की दुकानों या मकानों पर बुलडोज़र चल सकता है। ये आज़ाद भारत का सबसे बड़ा विध्वंस होगा। LIVE https://t.co/Ehbv4kDGeS
